Well, at least CBS isn't defending his record as President. Just his vacation time.

So, basically, when compared to those in a comparable situation, one not involving working from home at a ranch property, this Oval Office occupant takes more than twice as much vacation time?

I don’t believe it. Plus, I don’t think they are including Obamas 70 rounds of golf and his fundraising tours.

When someone really screws up at work and causes serious repercussions is not the time to then just run off, ignore the problems and take a vacation.

The problem is they are counting Bush working from his ranch as vacation time even though he was running the show from there and even bringing in foreign dignitaries. Obama, however, has made it known he is ‘not to be bothered’ on vacation and spends his time on the golf course.

So far 61, eh. So 71 after this one...averaging around a month a year. And this is full blown vaca...counting Bush’s time at Crawford is like counting Carter’s time at Camp David.

Too funny. By this measure, I’m on vacation 300 days per year since I mostly work from home.

CBS ACTIVELY producing propaganda to support their President.

There was no news here to report.

The real news in this story is that the news media has given up any semblance of objectivity.

Would be kind of fun - if the corporate CBS HR were called - since apparently CBS considers working from home to be vacation days - how many days many of their people owe the company.

Among recent presidents, Bill Clinton took the least time off -- 28 days.

Well, when you live in you're own brothel....

Don’t think Clinton had a home to go to. Don’t see Obama spending any time at his Chicago home that Resko bought for him.
The Bush’s didn’t have to pay rent on a place at Martha’s Vineyard.
The Reagan’s had a nice ranch property for their get away also.

Those two presidents didn’t need to *show off* that they had finally reached that “apartment in the sky” like Clinton and BO. A whole different class of people.......and I am NOT talking about money!

Ok...so vacation time plus leisure time (read that golf and trips to the local burger barn to throw burgers and fries down the gut) equals how much?

It’s not a problem that he takes vacations it more the timing of his vacations and the appearance that he’s away during a crisis.

Gulf oil disaster - vacation
Attack on Libya - golf vacation
Etc, etc.

Notice they try to compare W and Reagan spending time at their “Western White House” locations to Obama leisure trips to Hawaii, Martha’s Vineyard and beyond.

What a dreadful distortion of truth and facts. Bush often ran the country from the Ranch. As for Obama's golf resort games, and his bassaball games, and his ice cream eating travels for his 2012 re-election, I guess they don't matter either.

What I'd like to know, is how much of OUR MONEY Obama SPENDS on his vacations as compared to the other recent Presidents, while the American people suffer financial loss and misery every day. And this scab calls himself a 'leader'? Furthermore, we are at war with THREE countries and our economy is in the toilet so badly that Americans haven't seen the likes of this since the Great Depression and the Dust Bowl days; and Obama fiddles and lives like a King in a country that has no problems. He couldn't solve any damn problems anyway, so why not just stay on vacation all the time and let his hacks do the job?
