thanks Oreo

.

you know... i hate agreeing with her... truly... and i know that the right wasn't exactly charming to clinton... but this nonsense? do you really think they'd be doing that garbage to a white president? do you think they'd have started off with the "i hope he fails" and "food stamp president" and 47% nonsense?

Are you kidding? Did you not notice what 'they' did to the last "white president"? Hell, take a look at what 'they' did to the last two white presidential candidates AND their vice presidential nominees. Give me a break.

As I recall, Bush Jr. spent about 1/3 of his presidency on vacation (1020 days).

<BREAKING> Right wing outraged by Obama failure to show for Pearl Harbor Memorial Service at USS Arizona.

Why wouldn't he go if he's in Hawaii?

He lived in Hawaii, why would he return to a tourist spot he's probably been to a dozen times-- Fox news would accuse him of doing something wrong.

George W. Bush's vacation time (grand total)

487 days at Camp David
490 days at Crawford Ranch
43 days at Kennebunkport Compound

Total: 1020 days, more than 1/3rd of his presidency. Bush set the record for most vacation time taken by president.​

Carter took 79 days in 4 years.
Clinton took 152 days in 8 years.

Reagan took 335 days in 8 years.
Bush Sr. took 543 days in 4 years!

So much for the mythological Republican hard worth ethic.

The TEA BAG congress spent two years trying to beat.

Actually, Obama killed Bin Ladin and beat Romney + a hundred other major things you'll never understand.

He's very good at budgeting his time.

A new petition gaining ground on the White House website calls on President Obama to cancel his estimated $4 million vacation and devote the money instead to helping victims of Hurricane Sandy.


The petition states that for about the cost to the government of sending Obama on an expected three-week Hawaii vacation, Somerset could be rebuilt.

Trump needs to cut down on the "working" vacations too

It’s no secret that President Donald Trump’s penchant for weekend getaways has created added costs for the Secret Service. But the agency is in such dire straits that more than 1,000 agents have hit the caps for annual salary and overtime allowances, director Randolph “Tex″ Alles told USA Today in an exclusive interview.

Part of the challenge for the Secret Service is the size of the Trump entourage. A total of 42 people receive Secret Service protection (including 18 family members), Alles said, up from 31 people during President Barack Obama’s administration.
