President G.W. Bush set an all time high for days out of the White House. If you weren't loudly complaining then, then you shouldn't be complaining now when President Obama takes a weekend out of the White House with his family.
well no one was in danger of losing their jobs then so nobody really cared what the potus was doing

And I don't know, maybe it's just me, but if I was in danger of losing my job it wouldn't have made me feel any better to know that the president slept in his own bed this weekend. Maybe we should just make him work 24 hours a day....oh but wait we'll also need to make sure all of our senators, congressmen and governors do the same....anyone know what you local government was doing this weekend?
You dont seem to think that is going to cause people to grow resentment towards Obama or " the boss"

So because you dont feel a certain way means that others cant? You cant really see how its causing people to get upset? Seriously, oh well just because you cant doesnt mean it isnt happening.

What was the unemployment rate for Bushs 1st 18 mths in office? What is it with Obama in office? Is Obama not the one telling us how terrible the economy is?

I am pointing out the hypocrisy from both sides because I didnt vote for Bush.

Who said anything about impeachment thats a bit dramatic.

People are making excuses for Obama.

Guess I can complain now since I was complaining then. Guess you should tell those that were complaining then they should be complaining now.

What exactly are you complaining about? Are you upset that the President took a couple of days to devote to his family? Are you saying that the President shouldn't take a break now and then? Should he be in his office from 5 am to 10 pm seven days a week? Is that what people think?

I love when people put words in my posts Did I say that you couldn't feel one way or the other about the issue? I simply said if my job were in danger, knowing that Obama was sitting at home last weekend would not have given me any comfort. It's not like he was going to spend the weekend in the oval office with members of congress. Chances are he still would have spent time with his family

You know what? That is the most acceptable response that I have heard in awhile. It just irkes the hell out of me that all of the sudden people are protesting government spending and everything else now and did not udder a peep for the last 8 years. The way that I feel is that at least you are consistant
