Monday Flashback: 'I will NOT Take Vacations - Particularly Excessive Ones - As President'

[easyt65]

Obama, unlike Republicans before him "Earned" his vacation.

NO ONE 'earns' or deserves $70 million dollar vacations...and the link in the 1st thread demonstrates how Obama CLAIMED he believed the same exact thing. Now that he is in power, though, he has succumbed to the idea that he has 'earned' it. Gotta hand it to Socialists - they have never 'met' a dollar that belonged to anyone else that they didn't enjoy spending...while telling themselves they 'earned' the right to do so.

 

[mdk]

And by excessive you mean any. All Presidents take vacations. Get over it. Or don't.

Also, it isn't the fault of President you didn't go on a vacation this year, it yours.

- For just the cost of that 1 Obama trip's transportation 801 families could go on a week-long vacation
- 15,283 Americans families of 4 could go on a week-long vacation for the amount the tax payers have paid for Obama vacations during the last 7 years.
- Obama's Christmas vacation to Hawaii cost $206,000 PER HOUR for AF One (18hr flight - $3,708,000 Just for FUEL/Flight Expenses alone

So you don't see that ONE vacation as being a tad 'excessive'?

Spare me the crocodile tears.

Tell me, when you go on vacation do praise the President? Or is the President only to blame when you can't?

The President has nothing to do with whether I go or do not go on vacation. I am merely pointing out the man's massive hypocrisy and the fact that he lied / broke his promise (AGAIN).

Cut the crap. This isn't any different when the blind partisan gassed on about Bush's excessive vacations. Again, all Presidents takes vacations, regardless of the economy or if troops are in harm's way, and this President isn't any different. You're bitching to hear yourself bitch.

Obama said if elected as President he would not be taking leisure time, he would be working for the people 24/7.

Obama lied.

 

[SwimExpert]

Seven years ago, then-Sen. Barack Hussein Obama promised Americans that he would refrain from taking vacations — particularly 'excessive' ones — if he were elected president.



Yeah....surprise, surprise...he lied.



About 42 percent of Americans said they didn't take a single vacation day last year. Low-wage professions or part-time jobs, which are increasingly pricing workers out of taking time off. For those who are able to take a vacation: According to American Express, the average vacation expense per person in the United States is $1,145, or $4,580 for a family of four.

Obama Family’s 2014 Christmas Vacation in Hawaii - 1 VACATION - Cost Taxpayers $3,672,798 (THREE MILLION, SIX HUNDRED SEVENTY TWO THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED NINETY EIGHT DOLLARS) in Transportation Expenses alone.
- For just the cost of that 1 Obama trip's transportation 801 families could go on a week-long vacation



Report: Price of Obama getaways $70 million so far, and counting
LINK: http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/politics-government/white-house/article50172810.html

"Now as the Obama family departs Friday on its annual holiday vacation to Hawaii, new estimates put the price tag of the Obamas’ 2015 trips that are all or largely personal at $11.6 million for travel costs alone, according to the conservative group Judicial Watch, based on federal government records. That brings the overall cost of personal or largely personal travel to at least $70.5 million since Obama took office in 2009, according to the group’s analysis."
- 15,283 Americans families of 4 could go on a week-long vacation for the amount the tax payers have paid for this asshole and his family to go on vacations during the last 7 years.


Obama criticized Bush for playing golf while out soldiers were fighting abroad. He said it was not right for the Commander and Chief to be playing golf while our men and women in the military were in harm's way. Bush immediately stopped playing golf and did not play golf again until he was out of office. After taking office, with our military men and women still in harm's way, President Obama began playing golf. As President Obama has played 1,100 hours of golf, an estimated 247 rounds (18 holes) of golf.

President Obama hypocritically has not just played golf while our troops have been in harms' way. He has played golf minutes after video footage of a US journalist's head being cut off was released to the public. His response amounted to, 'It's a damn shame....don't worry I got this....Now excuse me, I don't want to miss my Tee time.'

"Last year during Obama's summer getaway, the extremist group that calls itself the Islamic State (also known as ISIS, ISIL, or Daesh) released footage showing American photojournalist James Foley's execution. Moments after Obama publicly condemned the group, saying it had "no place in the 21st century," he teed off for another round of golf."

At least he spared us from having to hear a repeat of Bill Clinton's famous words, "I feel your pain", before heading back to another round of golf on one of his many tax-payer-funded million dollar vacations.

Compared to past presidents, Obama takes few vacations

Now shut it.

At the very least, find something worth while to complain about.

It's completely different because it was BARAK OBAMA himself who declared he would NOT take 'excessive vacations' as President and spoke out against such 'extravagant' lifestyles for someone who was supposed to be representing hard working people.

HE made it different. I and others are holding him accountable for his own promise, and THAT is what pisses you off. That attempt to hold Obama accountable for anything HE is responsible for - word or deed - is what has pissed off Liberals for the last 7 years.

[AceRothstein]

Obama, unlike Republicans before him "Earned" his vacation.

Call me when Obama gets to the million jobs per month gain Reagan got with Reaganomics.

Over a million jobs per month gained. Most Americans wish we had Reagan again.

A million jobs per month that lasted all of one month.

When it comes to jobs, Clinton > Reagan

Having responsibilities and fullfilling responsibilities are two separate issues.
And having no strategy for the JV team that is now a household word makes it self evident he is not fulfilling his responsibilities.

It is closer to 50% and Obama has a year to go. With another year like this year it will end up close to 70-75%.

Hey, Swim...



Why is it that Liberals are SO much AGAINST the freedom of speech and immediately want to end discussion on any valid point or any issue that makes them feel uncomfortable?

Many Presidents have taken vacations, but none of them stood upon a soap box and declared they would not do so because no one has a right to do so. No other President has criticized a former President for daring to play golf while American troops were in harm's way. Hell, Obama was notified of an American citizen being seen having his head sawed off on the internet - he stopped 'at the turn' long enough to give a brief comment to Americans then played the back 9.

What you are trying to shut down is the continued discussion about Obama's hypocrisy and broken promises.

While I may get coal in my stocking for saying this, but I am GLAD having to face Obama's LIES and HYPOCRISY, the extravagance he said he would turn his back on that he now embraces. Take the partisan glasses off, and embrace it. Call it a character flaw, 'a change of thinking', whatever... It all boils down to the fact that he lied and / or has acted hypocritically.

 

[easyt65]

He didn't say he wouldn't take leisure time.

No one said he did, 'Saul'. HE said he would not take vacations, specifically excessive ones'. That has proven to be false! Period.

It's not about his vacations. It's more about the herds of people he drags along. Plus the extra planeload of reporters and doctors, the plane with the limo and helicopter and who knows how many fighter planes to escort him along the route. The average American doesn't have all that logistical support to go to Disneyland for a week . The pinhead is wasting taxpayer dollars by the bushel. And, I'm more pissed about those $2500.00 a night for hotel rooms. Jeezus, a Motel 6 only costs $39.95 a night.

No doubt all that shit adds up; however, It still isn't any different than previous Presidents. Bet the farm, if the GOP takes White House the roles will flip and partisan liberals will attack the excessive vacations of the President. Round and round we go...
