no. there isn't any contest about who travels more. but bush had way more vacation days. doesn't that strike you odd? the difference is obama has to go places to vacation, he doesn't have the family estate to run off to. there is no reason in the world that the president shouldn't fly to chicago.... same as bush flew to crawford.
it's just another thing the right likes to whine about. we can do better. i made fun of bush for always being on vaction, absolutely. but i never said a word when he traveled as head of state.... even though he did embarrassing things like walk into doors and treat merkel inappropriately.
Just stop. Obama loves his airplane and he flies WAY too often. Crying about what Bush did or didn't do is deflecting. You certainly wouldn't want people defending Bush by bashing Obama would you?
Many on this board do exactly that.
They bash Obama by saying he's not from here, is a Muslim, or a Nazi or whatever the crazy of the week is.
And then, some say that they wish for Jr. to come back. And still others defend Jr.'s policies by bashing Obama and telling everyone that Obama is continuing Jr's failed presidency.
