Bush spent over two YEARS on vacation. That's all you need to know.
That's really not all we need to know...
Of Bush's vacation days, about 50% were spent at his ranch in TX, and another 50% were spent at Camp David (which included much of the time he was hidden at camp david in the wake of 9/11)... Those were relatively low cost trips... and Camp David is even there laid out for the President to take vations at...
Obama has taken several exhorbitant vacations in a time when we have a $1.4T deficit... it's a little different from going to your home to relax...
A $4M trip to Hawaii over Christmas
A $480K 1 day trip to Dayton, Ohio with PM Cameron to watch a college basketball game between Western Kentucky and Mississippi Valley State
A $470K trip by his wife to Spain
A $700K trip by his wife to Africa
His wife alone has used $10M of public funds for her vacations... (the President's salary is $400k/yr).
They won't tell you the costs of all his trips for "security" reasons... like, his political security... since every Amerian has had to cut back in this economy, except Obama who keeps spending like there's no tomorrow...
Even his 13 yr old daughter Malia was given a trip to Mexico for Spring Break with 25 secret service agents... (my daughter spent spring break at her grandmother's... as neither of her parents could afford to take a week off of work)...
And what won't be listed in the vacation lists are all the games of pick-up basketball at random gyms all over the country and rounds of golf where he is able to work a partial day by making a visit somewhere, then using the rest of the day for expensive leisure activities on our dollar...
All of this is going down when we are in the middle of what the president calls "the greatest economic crisis since the great depression"... yet in his mind it's okay for his family to take lavish vacations all over the world on taxpayer money with a $1.4T deficit and a $16T debt...
Even his official business trips have been embarrassments... from the US apology tour, to the embarassing himself by trying to give a toast written on note cards which he continued talking over God Save our Queen (The British National Anthem) in order to do so... even raising his glass while everyone else was standing silently... No one even wants to total the India trip after the $2B, $200M/day debacle, but the trip could easily have cost $20M...
Additionally, Obama has taken far more domestic trips for political fundraisers and support of fellow Democratic campaigns than other presidents, and already has surpassed the costs of GWB's political travel costs... and it's not even the end of what may be his only term...
He is even going out of the way to mix "official" presidential business with campaign stops...
Obama Under Fire For Blending Official Travel And Campaign Trips
"It's impossible to ignore the fact that a vast majority of the president's "official" travel is taking place in swing states. According to CBS's Mark Knoller, Obama has visited Ohio 20 times, Florida 16 times, Pennsylvania 15 times, Michigan 11 times, and North Carolina 10 times since filing for re-election."
This President took a flight to Disney to promote vacations by Americans, when he's taking out tax money to do these travels, and we can't afford vacations... He just doesn't get it... His policies have made it harder for Americans to travel, yet he's acting like a jet setter on our dollar...
