He deserves it. He's doing an exceptional job. His administration is humming along, and the country is benefiting.

President Obama, like his predecessors, pays his and his family's personal travel and vacation expenses:

Presidential Travel: Policy and Costs
Quote:
For security and other reasons, the President, Vice President, and First Lady use military aircraft
when they travel.
...........
When a trip is for political or unofficial
purposes, those involved must pay for their own food and lodging and other related expenses, and
they must also reimburse the government with the equivalent of the airfare that they would have
paid had they used a commercial airline.

So tell me what is the difference between Ray Ray from" da hood" sticking a gun in your face and telling you to give it up, compared to these irreverent arrogant thugs in the White House? Ans: the cowards get the IRS to do their dirty work.
Some people work three jobs so these bottom feeders can jet set around the world. THEY ARE EMBARRASSING.
And you have made this same rant with all the previous presidents?

What if Obama did NOT want to spend Christmas with is family, in his home state?

Would people say that he was an atheist? A Muslim? A person who has no regard for his family?

Kind of a damned if you do do, damned if you don't situation.

ALL presidents go where they want on Christmas. I never begrudged any Republican presidents for visiting their home states.

Also, I think that the Bush daughters are lovely young women. Hating the families of presidents is so nasty.

Let us spread peace, love and and good cheer to all of those who serve our country, and to their families.

Don't worry. I'll take it to that special place where people of like mind commiserate over these things. Have a lovely evening now, dear.
To whomever gave me the anonymous rep note "informing" me that "it's 'would have' not 'would of'...

No kidding.

Whoosh...

It's a PDF of the Official Congressional Research Service Report.

You can read or download it at hundreds of libraries and institutions throughout the country.
Here, I'll help you out: UNT Digital Library: Government Documents Department.

If the Congressional Research Service isn't legitimate enough for you what will you accept?
