This is nonsense. You'd have to be a true Obama-hater in order to get upset about him going out of town for the weekend.

Absolutely, I see what happened to this country and I want it fundamentally changed to what it could be with liberty and justice for all; equality for races and sexuality; regulation of the financial sector, etc.

He got voted in and you have sour grapes.

I'm sure that he is keeping his core values.

That's all I ask of a President. Keep the fundamentals (The Constitution).

"Fundamental change" into what?

Obama has spent all or part of 65 days on vacation during his presidency thus far, according to Mark Knoller, a CBS news reporter who scrupulously tallies presidential vacation time. Mr. Knoller's tally shows that President Bush had 120 full or partial vacation days by this point in his first term. But even Knoller acknowledges that “vacation” might be a misnomer when discussing presidential trips.

Bush took 1,022 days off in 8 years.
That's 127 days per year, over 3 months per year.

How can you not address his holidays yet you whine about a weekend with family.

You silly.

Equality of opportunity, not outcome. My grapes are sweet!

The Constitution isn't the only 'fundamental' part of our country.

I kept hoping the village idiot Bush would have a chainsaw accident while clearing brush down on the ranch, alas, no such luck. And the pretzel thing didn't work either, now we're up the creek for years due his epic failure.
