Again... when you take a "vacation" do you go to your home?Whining about Presidential vacations is an extremely important issue.
Actually this was started as a further illustration of FFOs' total lack of intelligence by their support of a phony fake President who supposedly cares so much for the common person he vacations in posh million dollar resorts and private homes with beach front, pool, tennis courts...while he owns a home in Chicago!
Supposedly a "for the People" president who ignores his own home favoring tax payer jaunts and vacations.
Rather working from simple non-flashy home as Bush did when he went on "vacations" FFOs seem to fail to see the hypocrisy!
That is the major point! Why such a hypocrite such as Obama who starts the "Brother's Keeper" program ...i.e. talks the talk... while HIS own brother
lives in the below hut and definitely doesn't WALK the WALK!

By the way If you don't understand "you talk the talk do you walk the walk"?
If you say that someone talks the talk but does not walk the walk, you mean that they do not act in a way that agrees with the things they say:
Presidents have to pay for their vacations
Bush obviously preferred to be cheap and stay at his family compound. Didn't stop him from taking over 800 days vacation
Again... when you go home do you do work for your job from your home, then are you really on a "vacation"?
YOU total LIE when you say "over 800 days" Bush never took 800 days of vacation!

Bush took 879 days vacation.

Which U.S. president took the most vacation time?
During his two terms, Bush took 879 vacation days, which included 77 total trips to his Crawford, Tex., ranch. Nine of those trips were taken in his first year as president.Who holds the record for the most presidential vacation time?
..Bush holds the record for the longest modern presidential vacation for his five-week recess in 2005 in Crawford..
On Aug. 8, 2014, Knoller tweeted that Obama had taken 19 vacations totaling 125 days so far while in office.
Those numbers have risen a bit due to the Martha’s Vineyard vacation, but that’s still many fewer than George W. Bush’s 65 combined trips to his Texas ranch and his parents’ home in Kennebunkport, Maine, which totaled 407 days at the same point in his presidency.
NOTE dummy!!!!!!!!
Not included in this data are trips to the Camp David presidential retreat in western Maryland, which Knoller doesn’t count as "vacation." Knoller told Yahoo! News that, through Aug. 12, 2014, Obama had made 33 visits to Camp David for all or part of 84 days, while Bush had been there 108 times for all or part of 341 days.
As we’ve noted previously, the unique security concerns for the president mean that he and his family can’t simply head out on the road and plop down at a Motel 6. And all presidents have to be accessible for consultation and decision-making even if they’re on vacation. As Knoller tweeted, a president "is never really on ‘vacation.’ The job and responsibilities go with him wherever he is."
Who took more vacation -- George W. Bush or Barack Obama PolitiFact
