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?
Constantly? are you sure about that. I haven't heard from them at all thus far this week. Yeah they did made some comments, but even then I wouldn't say they were constantly in the news. They are nothing like how Dick Cheney was when Obama first got in office.
Both take time to weigh in on Trump. Tell Americans to "resist".
So they are fair fame. I take note that both Obama and the Clintons got a 'honeymoon' from criticism when they were in WH. They are too low to do the same.
I didn't say they aren't fair game and don't care about them. But all they do is barking...
Trump is the POTUS. He is in office. What does it matter what any "ex" says?
So Fox News says liberals are upset that Obama, who served two terms and left with very high approval ratings, is taking vacations that are not government funded? Ridiculous and desperate attempt by right wing news. If anyone has earned a vacation, it's Obama and his family, a truly good guy.
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.
Are these 'unnamed sources'? Because I don't know ONE democrat that has even mentioned where Obama has been on vacation.
Sounds like a lot of butt-hurt (if I may use your term) RWNJ's (my term).

Word! I did not know!

Hmmm...
But I guess their outreach to Leftists has gone surprisingly well.
That's exactly why they don't have the time. They are doing ANYTHING possible to delay reporting on this president's total fail.
