After seeing Markle's repeated references to Obama's vacation, I thought it would be a good time to have a look at the vacation day scoreboard over the last several decades

They do visit, the grandmother lives with them in the White House, and the girls have friends from Chicago who visit them.   You just do not have an announcement when the Michelle and the girls return to Chicago.  If the black family in the White House goes to lay flowers on graves at the Lincoln national cemetery they are criticized, and if he goes to Arlington he is criticized, and he has been vehemently attacked every vacation he has took with his family since 2010.   Racial hatred starts with a person not believing that somebody is equal to them.....inferior........and the rest spews effortlessly......as the early racist depictions had them looking like lottery winners going to Vegas.  The President is a good man who has done a stellar job raising his family and serving this nation.   The hate must stop.

One guy has over a 1000 vacation days and the other is shy of 200; but in GOP-supporter-land, the guy that had over 1000 never really had any at all, and the guy that is shy of 200 is defined by his excessive vacationing.

Say it out loud a few times.

As you well know, as it has been explained to you numerous times but you refuse to accept the truth and facts, don't you? It's is about the COST of the Obama's wildly extravagant vacations.

Obamas set new record for vacation travel expenses; stonewalled documents finally released

March 1, 2014 by Cheryl Carpenter Klimek

It took filing a lawsuit, but Judicial Watch discovered Friday that President Obama has set a new record for travel on the taxpayer dime.

The conservative watchdog group obtained travel records from the U.S. Department of the Air Force that show the Obamas racked up $7.4 million during just three trips in 2013 – in flight expenses only.

1. America is capitalist and  greedy - yet half of the population is  subsidized.
 2. Half of the population is  subsidized - yet they think they are  victims.
 3. They think they are victims  - yet their representatives run the  government.
 4. Their representatives run  the government - yet the poor keep getting  poorer.
  5. The poor keep getting  poorer - yet they have things that people in other countries only  dream about.
 6. They have things that  people in other countries only dream about - yet they want America  to be more like those other  countries.
     Think about it! And that, my  friends, pretty much sums up the USA in the 21st  Century. Makes you  wonder who is doing the  math.
     These  three, short sentences tell you a lot about the direction of our  current government and cultural environment:
 1. We are advised to NOT judge  ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged  to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics.    Funny how  that works.
And here's another one worth  considering...
 2. Seems we constantly hear  about how Social Security is going to run out of money. How come we  never hear about welfare or food stamps running out of money?  What's  interesting is the first group "worked for" their    money, but the  second didn't. Think about  it.....      and Last but not  least,
 3. Why are we cutting benefits  for our veterans, no pay raises for our military, and cutting our  army to a level lower than before WWII, but we are not stopping the  payments or benefits to illegal aliens.
 Am I the only one missing  something?
