I hadn't joined when Bush was Potus

I can imagine a lot of derangement in politics discussions,, hating and worshipping didn't start with OBama, I do understand that

Our president vacations a lot — we’re talking $44,351,777.12 worth of “a lot,” with most expenses charged to the American taxpayer.

hhmmm interesting

or , just par for the nitpicking political climate

As of March 2014, Obama has spent more time traveling internationally than any other president, taking 31 trips since assuming office in 2009. The 119 days spent overseas have cost taxpayers millions of dollars.

At the same point in their respective presidencies, George W. Bush had spent 116 days on 28 trips, Bill Clinton had spent 113 days on 27 trips and Ronald Reagan had spent 73 days on just 14 trips.

In 2010, Obama flew aboard Air Force One 172 times, nearly every other day. Just the cost of flying aboard Air Force One to Obama’s hometown of Chicago reportedly hovers around $180,000 per hour.

In addition to all of his international travel, the president spends a significant amount of time traveling with his family. The Obama family has taken vacations to exclusive beaches in New England, private clubs in Key Largo and, of course, luxurious beaches in Hawaii.

According to the government watchdog group Judicial Watch, beginning with the infamous New York “date night,” the Obamas have spent $44,351,777.12 in taxpayer cash on travel expenses.

a facebook post really of an al sharpton statement

-----------------------------------------------------------

Says President Barack Obama "has taken 92 days of vacation since he was sworn in," compared to 367 for President George W. Bush at the same point in his presidency.

Al Sharpton, Friday, August 9th, 2013.

more obama do as i say not as i do

Turns out that Obama’s White House is just as guilty of gender-pay discrimination as the rest of the country is. The average female working in the White House earns 13% less than the average male who works there: a shocking statistic for an administration that claims to be all about equality.

ohhhh, so its the INTERNATIONAL Travel that is taken issue with,,,

imagine! a president spending time in other countries,,,,,the shame,,,lol

dont you think that is the same thing sharpton did to bush

I dont know what sharpton did to bush

I do know this nitpickery is common for the political arena on all sides,,,

absolutely

can the prez ever really be on vacation

hardly, its an on call type position allowing him the technology to 'work' from just about anywhere

The biggest "con" is the fact he was re-elected after showing what he truly stood for.

Damn all those dead people and illegals for their illiteracy and not paying attention before voting!

And the GOP establishment for not having the brains or ability to offer even a trained monkey who could beat a lying fraud even with all their convention and media corruption
