Obama is the biggest BS'er I've ever seen. He legitimately enjoys lying to people.

Bush took most of his vacations at his ranch in Texas, not sitting on a beach in Hawaii or golfing with Tiger Woods. Bush's wife and daughters didn't go jetsetting around the world at taxpayer expense, taking 40 or so of their friends with them, either. The Obummers are disgusting examples of living high off the taxpayer dime. Some people have forgotten that he works for us; we don't work for him.

its so funny to see all you idiots hating on Pres. Obama for taking vacations when bush's whole presidency was a vacation, except for when he was starting a war with the wrong country based on lies about wmd's. im glad he's using the money to go on vacation, just another way to rub your faces in your losing streak, it'll be even better when Hilary wins in 2016, republicans are fucked and im enjoying every minute of it

If they don't come back, it was money well spent.

Now, Obama's Africa vacation next week is going to cost taxpayers $100 Million Dollars.

"The American People know how hard he works"....THAT comment alone PROVES he's living in a narcissistic bubble. He has NO idea what the American People are thinking nor the pain they're going through because he simply

doesn't he care!Tyrants, which is what he is, face it folks, don't care about anything but retaining their power, living in luxury and making it bad for the common man.

Didn't he get investigated by the IRS right after this? Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. There's an interview with him on C2C.

Why Daryl, it's absolutely amazing you can put me into a etymological category by your taking offense to my referencing a racially based demographic you seem to take as a personal attack. So, suppose I said, 'Thats the pot calling the kettle black', in response to your rant and you had a 'customary' African American family name, it would be construed as racial also, huh. No winning in PC land, and I don't know why you are offended, Daryl isn't Mexican, even when it is spelled correctly. Adios'

[P0LICEstateWATCH]

please- thats the one thing you can say about George W,. Bush (not that he didnt play some golf)... but he vacationed in a much more humble manner than this guy. if it were a Republican doing the exact same thing, the left would be quoting all sorts of statistics about how many American could make a living wage on the Obama's vacation budget!

You travel on our taxpayer's money. It is about time the media is asking legitimate question why the heck has it taken this long for the NEWS media to ask real question. When Mr. Romney was running for Presidency the NEWS media asked the Romney's very difficult question and the Obama's fluffy questions.
