This is America's royal family. Get used to it.
They may have no class, no taste and no compassion for what the country is going through, but they will be around for a long long time.

Watch what happens: at the last minute he will magnanimously give up some of his vacation time to negotiate the fiscal cliff. His family will nobly go on to Hawaii and try to enjoy the vacation without dear leader. See, everyone sacrifices.
“Notice how Democrat presidents take off for Christmas, forcing Secret Service agents to be away from their families? Reagan and the two Bush presidents would wait and leave after Christmas so the agents could be at home.
Now is there any wonder that many decent family men leave the service because of the intolerable working conditions? What they have left are quite a few swinging single types (unfortunately, not always single) who go for the wild life. Hence, the poor judgement and scandals.”
What you are saying is not exactly true. Bill Clinton did not leave Washington D.C. during the Christmas holidays, except twice. 1 year to go to Hilton Head N.C. and another year he went to Kosovo.
What obama is doing is setting a whole new precedence for presidents. First off his home isn’t even in Hawaii, it is in Chicago. Secondly, none of his family from Hawaii even lives there or is even alive.
George H.W. Bush spent all 4 years at Camp David. President Reagan, spent all 8 years at the White House, and specifically said he did not want to take the staff away from their families. George W. Bush spent all 8 years in Washington as well. I believe Carter did as well. This Hawaii vacation is just another example of how arrogant obama is, and how unquestioning the media is of his behaivor. Personally, I think he does it, to further cement the lie that he was born there.
I thought Clinton was loathsome, but the word hasnt been invented to adequately describe my dislike for Hussein..
I haven’t had a three week vacation in 26 years.
I agree with you on Obama’s vacationing in Hawaii. What’s even more egregious is the story about the Hawaii Christmas trip being “an Obama family tradition”.
That’s interesting, but I’m not so sure about that tradition existing until they reached the White House. Just sayin’.....
