BIG difference Between Obama VS Bush "vacations"..Taxpayers paid for Obama!!

Everyone seems to think all "presidential vacations" are equal and how often have we heard "yea but Bush has taken a lot more vacations then Obama"!!!

But the following FACTS show that Bush spent MORE of his "vacation" days at his HOME or parents home... NOT some expensive hotel etc.
spending millions of tax payers dollars!

How did he get there, dope? Did he drive and pay for his own gas? Did he buy a ticket and fly commercial? Did the Secret Service stay back in Washington?

And please show us which hotels cost millions of dollars.

You're one of the biggest idiots on this site. If not for Stephanie, you could be #1!

Bush housed the secret service in a building on his property. The cost to the taxpayers was zero. They didn't rack up multi-million dollar hotel bills as the do when Obama goes on vacation.
 
Could hater dupes be any more cheap and stupid? So you get the spoiled , out of touch rich brat who wrecks the economy and th world, AND the stupidest wars ever. Great job.
 
No wonder the Republican clown car can't get any traction when they spend time worrying about vacations and writing letters that throw a monkey wrench into sensitive negotiations. The Republican Convention might as well not waste time voting on a nominee, just send someone out to wave the white flag. :biggrin:

I would understand their (Republicans) insanity a little bit better IF they had the numbers to win a national election. But they don't. And really they don't want to. With the Congressional districts gerrymandered in their favor, they know they can maintain a strong position in both chambers.And fuck with whatever Dem is in the WH, all without showing any leadership for the country.

But if all they've got to offer is this crazy indignation about Obama's going on a vacation, well no one but a fucking crazy ass right winger is getting all wound up about that. And there aren't enough of the crazies to get a Repub elected Pres. Thank god.
 
If Clinton gets in as the next president, look out for the vacations with the entire family to all exotic places! Maybe she'll leave Bill to Pedophile Island, but she'll take Chelsea and family with her.

Ever hear stories about hillbillies winning the Powerball Lottery and being broke in a year?

The Obama's are the typical "nouve riche" who happened into unearned riches and the only thing they could do with it is WASTE it.
 
OP- Petty BS, while Pubs wreck the country, the nonrich, and the world...stealing us all blind...see sig.

You point to your sig often but it's still as retarded as it was the first time you wanted us to read it.

Asking people to read your sig should mean it actually has something to say.

Work on that.
You are an ignorant, brainwashed functional moron. lol ALL FACT.
