It is amazing how well they prepare to defend the president. From the link:
That was my take too. Wow. I had no idea so much effort went into presidential visits. Yes, it costs a lot, but that is the price of being the world's superpower. These foreign visits are an essential part of our international diplomacy.
That hated and maligned Bush would vacation for mere peanuts on the dollar at his ranch.
Laura Bush made 5 trips to Africa over the 2 terms under the " no child left behind" banner. Geo. W made 2 trips, including one in 2008 as Rome was burning. Their daughters accompanied them on several of these trips, which included safari and village visits.
Laura has visited Africa 3 times since Geo left office. George has visited twice. One of their adult daughters accompanied them on one of these trips. The private planes, SS, military and has been there every step of the way.
Bush holds the record for the most vacation time ,1020 days or 32% of his presidency "on vacation" although no president is ever really on vacation. The Obama trip to Africa is no exception. The trip includes several official meetings.

That's outrageous. But, how do you know all of that? Did you stalk Bush's every movement when he was in office like some of the people of this forum stalk Obama?

Bush cut my taxes. Obama has done the opposite, is walking around with his hand out, saying he needs more. Just sayin, there's a difference in attittude.
Just think....during tough economic times.....Jimmy Carter sold the Presidential yacht as a symbol of understanding of the plight of Americans during those tough times.........
What has this President done? Exactly the opposite.

All this and more can be found with a simple google search.
The July, 2008 Bush trip was under the banner of HIV prevention. He committed $30 billion in anti-viral meds purchased from U.S. Big Pharm. This trip was marred with local demonstrations.
