I am hoping Obama spends as much time on vacation as possible...less time to destroy the country.

Hey Mrs. Eaton, you had enough time to spend all day behind an NAACP lectern in a park with your pretty new outfit on but you're disenfranchised because someone wants you to show an ID to vote. Get real for a minute you ignorant old hag, we know the truth.
Completely OT. Also incredibly rude and nasty. Do you talk like that to all senior citizens? Just black ones? Just liberals? Just those who exercise their rights to seek redress in the US Judicial System?

You should be ashamed of yourself.

What was the cost of building the compounds? Combined, I bet it didn't cost a fraction of what Obama just spent on his trip to Africa.

Most certainly the government removed all their equipment when their terms ended and now it's just an extension of the house and probably looks like any other office that you would find in a home or in an office building.

...which ended up being a savings to the people, as opposed to taking dozens of lavish vacations abroad.

Bush vacationing that much cost the taxpayers more money. If Obama going on vacation cost taxpayers money, Bush doing so also cost the taxpayers money.

Do you mean when tens of millions sucked the premature equity out of their homes and used it to live beyond their means and in doing so, temporary boosted the economy? That economy was unsustainable and went into serious melt down road during the Bush admin.

A lot of people seem to prefer to live a hopeful life without consequences. And when they experience the consequences, they tend to blame instead of taking any responsibility for themselves.
