Well, he is a left wing spender/waster. Why should his vacation reflect a different view ???

We all know that the left thinks that money grows on trees. He and his administration do not care about our economy. They are buying votes and wasting cash via entitlements, fatty handouts to green energy companies(ie GE) and subsidizing programs and products americans do not want. All the while, escalating class warfare and destabilizing the US.

Happy New Year... Can we fast forward to 2012 !?!?

So like I said, where was this outrage when Bush was setting records for taking time off away from the White House?

Personally, I don't understand what the big deal is. He's the POTUS and leader of the free world. That comes with its fair share perks and the infrastructure to ensure his safety is costly and cumbersome. That's not going to change no matter what letter they hang next to their name.

"manufactured outrage". People don't feel alive unless they are pissed off. It's sad really.

I do not mind him taken a vacation with his family but this spending and amount of vacations is way over the line.

People living in tents and going hungry and he goes and spends millions on a vacation.

His judgment is very poor to say the least.
Amazing that you are still repeating that old 200 million lie! Do you ever read or watch the real news?

The obama's have no class.

10% unemployment and they're partying on the public dime.

How do you unemployed obama supporters feel about it?

Where did this belief come from that Presidents need to temper their lifestyle to the economic climate in the country? He made it to the top and should enjoy the perks...or at least that is what you free market, capitalist Republicans love to talk about when it's someone else.

It didn't bother me during the time I was unemployed. Doesn't bother me now. Don't see why it should matter. Not his or any other president's job to cater to the lowest common denominator.

Enjoying the fruits of your labor is one thing. Do it on your own dime.

These people are out of control with vacationing.

Michelle seems like she's on a permanent vacation.

Telling us what to eat while she gains pound after pound.

Barry telling us that we can't drive SUV's, or keep our thermostats at a comfortable level.

What is their carbon footprint?

The hypocrisy is astounding.

He's enjoying the perks of the position he obtained. Last I checked, just about everyone got vacation time at their jobs, right?

Only to people he like to ***** and moan. This is just under a year old now, but points out how out of whack the "out of control vacations" bull**** is. You'll of course note that both Bush's and Reagan spent more time on vacation in their first year than Obama.

You do know she's the first lady right? Of course you understand that they are basically glorified PR people who promote these civic improvement projects.
