Except, of course, when President W went to TX.

Obama has made 4 trips to Martha's Vineyard in 5 years.
And going to his home country in Africa, is just like making 18 trips to Texas.

And you think you've provided some kind of newsflash? Tit for tat, as you say, in the whiney voice of a 2-year old?

Good one!

Only completely idiots use snopes as a reference. Wiki, in it's infinite goofups, is infinitely better than snopes.

I didn't know about the hand washing, but understood the dog was for photo ops long ago. A quick search on muslims and dogs was interesting.

Good thing BO isn't all black....

But liberals will never get the hypocrisy. They WILL shriek and scream when the budget battle goes on again, and cuts are discussed. Then they will trot out "the GOP wants to kill kids and old people" and no mention will be made of an entire helicopter being sent for unnecessary perks for the president.
And for 8 days this time..... i wish it were the rest of life....... The country would be better off if he just stayed on vacation. The dog would like it too.

Already covered the fictional aspect of this President.

I now believe that if many of the Obama cheer squad watched him load a weapon, point, shoot, and kill someone... they'd come up with an amazing fairytale of how he didn't do it. If all else failed, they'd blame Bush. This is where sarcasm actually meets reality.

I also wonder if the majority of liberals, who have begun to question this President, are getting tired of being labeled RWNJs. I know we libertarians are sick of it. Progressives seem to have uni-bit brains, because anyone other than LWE's must be RWNJ's. Tunnel vision ala carte.
