That's it? Bush took three times as many as Obama. In fact, Obama has taken fewer vacation days than any president in decades. Why are Republicans complaining about....huh....what?
Oh, that's right.
He's black. I keep forgetting. Nevermind.
Hey Dean, look what I found:
November 2010
"But the trip to India, Indonesia, South Korea and Japan was by no means cheap. While a total by-the-day figure may be impossible to come by, Brady estimated that the 48 hours of flight time logged on the trip would cost at least $8.7 million for Air Force One alone. The president's latest visit to Lisbon, Portugal, for a NATO conference would add another $2.7 million, he figured.
That Lisbon trip also set a record for Obama. By Brady's accounting, Obama has now logged 55 days overseas, surpassing former President George H.W. Bush's record of 54 days during his first two years. In total, Obama has visited 26 countries -- some of them more than once -- over the course of 15 trips."
