Obama's $4 million, 17-day Hawaiian vacation

[SwingVoter]

So is Michelle Obama proud of us now that we've paid for her trips to Costa Del Sol and Hawaii?

 

[Political Junky]

The only reason Obama stays in the job are the perks...

Has to be. He sure seems to hate the job itself.

I was thinking it cost more to keep the Mrs in perks.

Want to compare Michelle Obama's clothes allowance to that of Nancy Reagan? Nancy wore nothing but couture from the likes of James Galanos.

Obama plans to steal and spend as much money he can steal from white people as his way of getting back at them for not voting for his buddies in 2010.

Interesting theory/accusation.

 

[jillian]

This is not his money that the differance, he's not using his money get it?

He's the president. He's paid by the state. All the crap you gotta do to become one of those... if you take a 4 million dollar vacation so be it.

I won't complain, I'll just wish I was him and be envious.

The cost is due to security meatheads. It doesn't matter where he goes on vacation, security is expensive. This is a price we pay for any President. Get over it.

yes.... but the braindead start the same nonsense every time....

because only shrub was allowed vacations.

so am I, so what?
The Obama's lived in Chicago and OWN a home there. why can't they EVER go back to their HOME?
They don't OWN a home in Hawaii, they have to RENT one for 1000's of dollars a day. So no, they aren't FROM THERE.

Yes. Obama is from Hawaii.

And Obama has taken 51 official vacation days versus 180 that Bush took by the same point in his presidency.

 

[NYcarbineer]

The President has the most dangerous job in America.

Quit whining about where and how he and his family take a vacation, you ungrateful pussies.

 

[Rinata]

You people are so predictable!!!! A bunch of sour pickle pusses is what you all are. Give it a rest.

 

[Twin Fist]

i am pretty sure you bitched about bush taking vacation time,and he went to his own house, cost the taxpayers nothing....

Of course they did.

Many people criticized that Bush took too much vacation time. He did take alot. Obama has not taken anywhere near as much. I'm not sure what kind of comparison you think you're making.

and he went to his own house

Sometimes. Other times, he came to the hotel where I work.

cost the taxpayers nothing....

Completely untrue. Even if vacationing at his own home there was hefty taxpayer expense. There were travel costs. There was the cost of setting up command centers in his home. There was the costs of establishing and maintaining security. Pretty much the same types of costs were seeing now. In any event, the issue of taxpayer costs never came up until now, with Obama. Why was it never an issue before now?

LOL, the man is on a constant vacation. He is never at the white house. he be running around the country giving interviews, taking bus trips in his niffy bus...
It's been quite the joke. ON US

So what you're saying is that all the conservatives who defended Bush's many vacations who are now attacking Obama for his vacations

are fucking hypocrites.

Not only frequent vacations, but perpetual campaigning. He hasn't stopped since he was running for the job. He's trying hard to be convincing he isn't the enemy to America that he really is.

he's just a puppet, (he is given a script to read, that's the need for his trusty teleprompter) the real damage is being decided behind the scenes with his approval.
