How many of those vacation days for Bush were at family owned properties and Camp David..the properties that didn't cost the taxpayers an arm and a leg?knothead wrote:http://politic365.com/2012/05/08/obamas-vacations-of-any-president-bush-racked-up-the-most/
Boy George is the King of Presidential vacations . . . . sorry to burst your little bubble.

Well that was his choice because he was after all, THE DECIDER. If Obama wanted a family vacation I don't think I would have elected to stay in the Officer's quarter on the military reservation . . . . their lives are compartmentalized enough as it is. You are just nit picking but nit pick away!
Wow.President Bush spent 32% of his presidency on vacation.
knothead wrote:President Obama was on vacation for 26 days during his first year in office (2009). Ronald Reagan spent 42 days on vacation during his first year in office (1981). President George H.W. Bush was on vacation less than his son, 40 days, in 1989, his first year in office. President Obama was on vacation less in his first year in office than the previous three Republican Presidents.
No President since Reagan was on vacation less than Bill Clinton. Presidents Clinton and Carter vacationed the least of any of the last seven chief executives.

I don't begrudge any of these people their vacations.
They have earned them.
That is especially true for this POTUS and his family who have been subject to a singular level of vitriol and pettiness as evidenced by this very thread.

Truer words were never spoken . . . . . Joani's attitude as she has expressed herself here disappoints me as I always thought she was somewhat above such pettiness . . .
Bush would fly to Texas and stay there for a month. I have no problem with a second White House. FDR and other presidents spent time away from the WH, usually for weeks at a time. Flying on multiple trips and with multiple planes carrying family members and the family pet and then putting the staff up in expensive hotels is a little different, cost wise.boards of FL wrote:Wow.President Bush spent 32% of his presidency on vacation.

Shame on me....I guess I didn't make myself clear. I don't object to vacation time for sitting presidents. And I realize Obama has two children that need his time and attention. Eight years is a long time in their childhood.
I do object to the excessive expenses incurred for the secret service and ancillary staff. Camp David is an inexpensive alternative for family getaways and it is not utilized by the Obama's. Other presidents used it along with their family owned properties....it made it cheaper.
Just the way the Repukes want it.Nekochan wrote:The president and his family need vacations.
What I object to is federal employees being furloughed, and the military's training and other military expenditures being cut while our upper level officials (not just Obama, but all of Congress and Obama as well) go on about their vacations and their taxpayer spending/perks as if nothing is wrong or has changed.
