Wonder what the vacation days count would be with fundraising included?

...Is he including the Date night and Broadway Show junkets at taxpayer expense?

Also, how many swank concerts and lavish parties have they hosted.

These people always seem to be on vaca!

For the second straight year, the first family has landed on this island of quaint seaside towns, second homes and working farms for a late-summer getaway.


Hmm interesting description. I thot Martha’s Vinyard was playground to the ELITE and RICH.

In OB’s case, vacations are good for the country. The less time he spends in DC, the less time he has to futher screw up the country.

On the flip side, the more time he does spend in DC, the more he does to drive down his poll numbers.

Maybe if he does finaly run the well dry, and all the “obama money” hand outs are exhausted,even the bottom feededs who supported him will wise up - hope so!!

Obama does have many things to worry about - but none of them are personal. He doesn't go to bed at night worrying about paying for his kids collage cost, what would he do if he or his wife got seriously ill with huge medical bills.

If he blows it, the worst that will happen he gets voted out of office. Has his presidency considered a disaster. A
blow to his bloated ego, but his life goes on.

As he takes these “necessary” vacations, does he ever ponder what the real life American his age deals with on a day to day life?

Just a day off without the worry of real life problems would be a welcome vacation to most.

One potential complication: Obama has spent far less time on vacation than his Republican predecessor, George W. Bush, had at this point in his presidency.

One potential complication: George W. Bush, had at this point in his presidency, a much more robust economy than Obama.
