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

"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.
No 'Excessive' Vacations:

Interesting. So by your logic, the president also committed to not sleep while President.
And what's your evidence that this was 2008?
