I don't doubt that at all.
The truth is NO PRESIDENT is ever REALLY "on vacation" - no matter where they may be. It's not that kind of job.

Why is it that every time the Obamas takes a vacation some RWNJ starts a new thread about it?

Not sure what your point is here. He did have some "modifications" to his place, at govt. expense of course so he could vacation there. As has been pointed out, no president is ever really on vacation. Note in the OP the discussion of the presidents support equipment.

I suppose we should be grateful. Imagine the amount of additional damage he could have wrought had he spent more than a paltry 68% of those eight years actually working. As it was, that 68% was more than enough.

No, the failure here is that you buy every word at face value. Can we say gullible?

Haven't we already established.......ohhhh about 100 years ago....that the President is never truly on vacation? Considering that Bush had a Situation Room built on his Texas ranch, one can logically assume that he was on a more demanding vacation than that of Obama in Hawaii at a villa/resort. But that's neither here nor there.

There President is always on duty, and that's the way it should be viewed.

Class envy. Sprinkled with a little irritation that 'an uppity black guy' is our nations president. Is it racism? Maybe, maybe not. Is it prejudiced? Most definitely. Doesn't stop them from incessantly posting about a splinter in a democrat's eye when they have logs in their own. Frankly I'd be embarrassed if I'd have started this thread in an attempt to paint our president negatively, when in fact all they accomplished was pointing out how Bush played hooky and blew billions.

You know what happens when you assume...

Sure I'll chip in. Let's do the math over 65million Americans voted for the President, so that will cost us 6cents per person. Lol

We have dug out of nothing. It has only gotten worse. But swooners don't really care for some reason. They are either too ignorant to realize it or are all in for destroying the nation so they get a check in the mail. And they call rich folks greedy.
