Yet the usual group of whiners are here to moan and groan about every "taxpayer dollar" spent on Obama's vacations.

I'm getting a kick out of watching the same people who complained about Obama vacationing now twisting, contorting, and spinning as hard as they can to rationalize how Bush vacationing 3 times as much as Obama is a somehow not as bad. Too funny.

And the rest of us are getting a kick out of watching the same Obama sack riding morons who still blame everything on GW Bush are now trying to twist numbers to make it seem like he was on vacation when he really wasn't. Too funny.

If there is one thing I remember when President Bush was vacationing in Crawford, TX, he was always clearing brush. I am sure the White House Press corp probably hated going to Texas with all that dust and dirt and sawdust flying around as Bush was cutting down trees and brush!

This whole who took more vacation days, President Obama or President Bush, is much to do about nothing. Are sitting Presidents' truly ever on vacation?

Obama took about 90 days of vacation and Bush took about 320 days of vacation. Those are verifiable facts, so once again your issue isn't with Obama supporters. You're issue is with reality.

Your continual name calling is getting old and is against the TOS.

My issue is with people who are too stupid and dishonest to acknowledge that every day that President Bush spent in Crawford wasn't a "vacation day". If you apply the same criteria to both Presidents Obama and Bush are about the same when it comes to true vacation days.

Are you once again assuming that I was talking about you? Maybe you should put me on your ignore list if you can't handle it.

Question .... How is that working out for us?
Presidents depend on their "advisors" and their background/experience.
Some are better than others, they each can direct things as they please.
The "blame game" only works for so far - an Adult eventually has to take some responsibility and the "Press" needs to step up to the plate and think about what their real job is.

Hint ..... it's not celebrity status and promotion of their particular Political Agenda. This "press" (and I use the term very loosely) is not doing their "guy" any favors and has no feeling what-so-ever about what is good for the Nation as a whole or even the Political Party they are now blatantly supporting.

Bottom Line ..... I sorta feel sorry for Obama. His followers are not helping him at all.
