A true report would be on the cost(s) that these vacation times burden the taxpayers with!

People are 'rightly' noticing and getting upset because .. The country is in a shambles and once again .. Obama and his Royal Family are vacationing on the taxpayers dime!

The Food-stamp President needs another vacation folks!

Is this the 'shared sacrifice' that he wants us all to participate in?

We'll sacrifice our taxpayer money while he 'shares' the $50,000 a week resort at Martha's Vineyard with his family?

When President Bush(43) was in office, his ranch was commonly referred to as the Texas White House or the Crawford White House. Business was conducted from there with little to no extra cost to the taxpayers.

THIS is what the lying, cover-up media is adding up as Vacation Times for Bush!

Bush(43) also spent many of his holidays in D.C. so that the Secret Service agents could be with their families.

When President Reagan was in office, his ranch was referred to as the Western White House.
Just as with President Bush, business was conducted at the Western White House with little or no extra cost to the taxpayers.

And just as they did with Bush .. The cover up, lying Media are adding his Out Of The White House Time as Vacation time!
Massive Secret Service protection was not needed and as such .. No taxpayer dollars!


I love the part about Slick Willie taking the 'least vacation time'.

When Slick Willie was in office, the White House in D.C. should have been named the Las Vegas East... 'What happened in the White House stayed in the White House'.
(Why leave home when the 'girls' are coming to you!?)

The Truth is .. Obama and his brood love to jet set .. All around the world with a full entourage and NEVER have to spend a dime of their own .. It's paid for by the Taxpayers!

If you could find an Actual 'spread sheet' on the cost(s) of these vacations .. The story would not be printed!

One more thing .. If you were to add up the Hours that Obama has spent on the Golf course, the White House Concerts and Get-Togethers, The Parties and Sit Down, Fund Raising Dinners .. Would That add to his vacation time!?

This story is typical DNC rhetoric.
They are void of dignity and have no shame!
Thank you for this response!! 100% correct.

I was getting ready to reply to this thread and read your post and you said everything I was about to say.

I sure wish we could find a chart of actual expenses per vacation - but you can bet the liberal news media would never print it. And the gauche manner in which he and his family jets sets with full entourage is disgusting.

It wasn't the liberals creating this issue. You should tell the hard-right that it's not an issue. Comparing the low amount of vacation Obama takes to the high amount of vacation other presidents have taken is a proper defense against the silly issue that the right invented.

And Obama has screwed up twice as much in half the amount of time. There's a formula here somewhere...

Default so......... Obama is working hard

So what we learn is that the current state of our economy is due to Obama really working at it?

That's nice to know.

Is a puzzlement as to why his economic predictions and statements are so incredibly wrong with all that focus.

Obama tells us he has laser focus, thinks of job creation every waking hour. Since he was elected he said he will focus on jobs and now he says he will release solutions later in the week, misses that deadline and now tells us, 'I feel your pain', goes on vacation and announces when he gets back he will reveal his solution.

If the guy just took 3 days of vacation he would get bad publicity because he has no concept of leadership and presidential comportment during a crisis. You just need to close your eyes for a second while driving to find your car has left the road, flew over an embankment and now sits crumbled in the woods. Didn't matter you were wide awake for the first 17 hours of your roadtrip.

Clinton bottoms the list with only 28.

Really shows those on the left are ready to work. The right? not so much.

I really want to know how they count these so call vacation day.

I guess bbq with unions boss is consider work.

Fund raising is consider work, etc...

If he is really working, he would have something accomplishment instead of heading the ship to the iceberg.

Trips to his ranch is Crawford were NOT always vacation. Most trips were for meetings with foreign leaders.

Too funny, you must have been born last night, the left pulled the same non sense when Bush was President.

Yes, Bush did a "heck of a job!" during Katrina while "running his country from his ranch!"
