I thought they made fun of Bush for vacationing?

While President Obama dealt with the near miss of a terrorist attempt to blow up an airliner on Christmas Day from the beaches and golf courses of Hawaii’s Big Island, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center took a page from the vacationer-in-chief’s book. NCTC’s Michael Leiter decided to remain on the ski slopes rather than return to the nation’s capitol, just as Obama decided to remain in America’s Pacific Paradise.

“Somebody” needs to get their sh*t together.....Zero wasn’t on the Big Island. Such lack of attention to detail makes this rant pretty worthless.

Ahhh; they did make a great deal of Bush vacationing; except, of course, he really was not. (And there can be no question, that when it comes to vacations, Obama rules; and the MSM in his defense, screams 'well, Bush did it'/whine/sigh. . .)Bush went to his Ranch. He never went on 'real vacations' when our Country was in crisis or when our Troops were in 'harms way'.

Ok, yes,yes, we saw those captured recreational photos - of Bush chopping wood; running in mts above Ranch with his many friends or rather. ..with his Secret Service Agents and occasionally riding his bike. (activites, we might note; Presidents do while on the job at White House, as well). No photos, however of GW 'swimming/surfing/working out/'snow coning' and 'good-timing' it, with nineteen of his favorite family members and friends - flown in with/by Obama, to share the vacation celebration.

GW, vacationed in Boca Grande this past Christmas with Laura and his entire family; and where his family has gathered for years. They do so within the privacy parameters of the Island. No photo ops. GW's last family Christmas there was ten years ago.

We do not even need to probe the depths of hypocrisy as MSM reports/defends Obama against Bush. President Bush will always lose.

There IS one, indisputable truth; Obama's shadow is not worthy to walk in George W. Bush's footprints.
