a): the unemployment rate and debt is currently comparable to 1982.
b): hoover and fdr did take trips/vacations.
c): i'm not sure this analogy works in this context.
hate the man if you wish but, please, hold all the presidents to the same standard.
lol are they comparable to when Bush 1st took office? How about CLinton? Clinton had a good economy you had to force that man to leave the White House and take a vacation. Do you think any president during the great depression with the internet would be taking 8 vacations a year? Do you think doing that is not going to cause people to become bitter?
It has nothing to do with hating the man.
Come on now if you were one of the millions Americans without a job and you were listening to the president of this country tell you that we all need to make sacrifices and then watch them take this many vacations how would you feel? Seriously
Well, they could be down in Crawford, TX chopping wood several days a month, heheheh.
Exactly George W. Bush Jr. spent far more days on vacation than President Obama has. If fact even when he was not on vacation Bush Jr. basically left a lot of policy decisions to the like of Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld.
Remember this is the guy who flew over New Orleans at 30,000 on Air Force One shortly after Hurricane Katrina on his way by to Washington D.C from VACATION. Let's not forget the "You're doing a great job Brownie!" comments as thousands of people in New Orleans were in desparate need of food, water and medicine in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.
Why don't folks just come up and say it. They don't like the fact there is a black man in the White House. Snide attacks like these are just a subtle way to display their displeasure.
It doesn't matter what President Obama does the "I can't stand a black guy being in the White House Crowd" aren't going to like it.

Lets not act as if vacations is Obamas only distractions. Obama has played more golf in less then 2 years then Bush did 8 years.
Atleast Bush flew over New Orleans. Obama took how long to get involved with the biggest oil spill in our history? How many days did it take Obama to even talk to the ceo of Bp? 50 what days? So lets not pretend Obama as been on top of national disasters in this country. There is also the flooding and ice storms how many died in KY? Did Obama even address that when it happened?
Yall keep using this its because hes black and people are going to start ignoring any real claims of racism. Its like the little boy that cried wolf.
I have to take the side of our incompetent, corrupt, POS president on this one. The man only has two more years before we banish him back to Chicago, so he needs to get in all the vacation time he can.
While he is swimming in Florida, Russia is six days away from delivering Nuclear Fuel to Iran.
Need we say more about his priorities?
Heck after Fla comes 10 days at Marthas Vineyard.
Appears his priorities are with having a good time. Hes living it up between vacations, golfing, attending ball games. Playing basketball . Concerts/ parties.
Indeed you are not the only one who has noticed the continually outrageous behavior of HO and crew !
It truly appears that when it comes to the the hard earned money of tax payers ... the vast majority of our exceedingly arrogant "Career Politicians" know exactly how to absolutely waste as much of it as they possibly can.
HO is seemingly no different in this "pizzzzzing" away of the peoples money than any other egotistical politician in D.C. !
It would seem to matter not what shape the nation is in, nor how much the general population is in dire need ... these dopey, self serving and so called public servants will always find a way to waste as much of the big bucks as possible !
How much tax payer money HO and crew will waste on themselves is anyones guess, but a good guess will be many, many millions !
