Obama already is, and the nutty redneck racists can't stand that.
He deserves whatever vacation he's got coming to him, and all of those trips, after having to deal with the likes of many Americans during his 8 years in office.
Republicans vacation at uber rich places, too. It's just that the average person doesn't know the names of the billionaire businessmen/scions but we do know Brando and Branson.
I don't care where he goes or how much his vacations are comped by his "friends" as long as he stays out of the way of running the country. He can do whatever he likes as long as he is not breaking the law.
Why are you wasting time on nonsense?
Obama, Hillary are not in any position now. With so many MAJOR issues on the table (healthcare, foreign policy, etc) you take time to write a novel about them?
"Why are you wasting time on nonsense?"
Because so much time is given to the left entertainers and Obama and Hillary who are constantly going public with their comments and opinions.
Why is it that so much time is given to them and you NEVER COMPLAIN but, don't want any time given to the other side?
The Democratic base is growing increasingly frustrated with former President Barack Obama’s actions after leaving office, including a seemingly endless tour of millionaire and billionaire luxury retreats, according to Democrats and activists contacted by Fox News.
Ex-presidents, understandably and un-controversially, go on vacations immediately after leaving office. But the level of luxury the Obamas enjoy on their vacations is unprecedented for a modern-day president, say travel experts.
Since leaving office in late January, Obama has visited late actor Marlon Brando’s private island; the Four Seasons in Bali -- where rooms cost upward of $2,000 per night; a Palm Springs estate; Sir Richard Branson’s Necker Island; the exclusive Mid Pacific Country Club in Oahu; the 13th-century Borgo Finocchieto in Tuscany; and the Rising Sun, Hollywood studio mogul David Geffen’s private yacht.
"These are some of the most luxurious travel destinations in the world. Many of our clients spend tens of thousands of dollars or more to stay at these resorts, which cater to the most discriminating and demanding guests,” said Kendra Thornton, travel expert and owner of luxury travel agency Royal Travel. “For example, Necker Island has a nightly price tag of $80,000. Anyone who stays at these properties does so because they want the best of the best."
Fox News contacted the Borgo Finocchieto hotel. It’s actually not really a hotel, at least of the kind ordinary travelers come to expect. It’s a restored medieval hamlet with five villas and 22 bedrooms that can only be rented for a three-day minimum, in its entirety. Obama touched down at a nearby airport in a private jet escorted by six Eurofighter jets from the Italian Air Force. Presumably, the former president scored a deal on the stay since the Borgo Finocchieto is owned by one of his appointees, the former Italy Ambassador John Phillips.
Left-wing activists told Fox News they are troubled by what they see as a trend by Obama to distance himself from the base of the party. It’s not just vacations. The president also has enjoyed hefty fees for speeches to prominent Wall Street firms. It’s all part of a trend, they say, of Obama trying to join the fabled 1 percent.
I would use hypocrites for NOT complaing about Obama's "carbon footprint".
Shouldn't he be about "saving the planet and Climate control?
It IS one of the lefts favorite issues isn't it?
Why do people always bring-up flying as an example of hypocrisy when it comes to climate change? On a per-passenger mile, air travel is far and away the most efficient and greenest form of long distance transportation currently available. Well, maybe electric trains powered by non-carbon fuels, but you ain't taking one of those to the South Pacific.
Yeah right
And just like when Donal Trump was NOT in office what he did on his own was at his parrogotive
Who's Donal Trump? His Scotch cousin?
