cvfd1399 0 #26 January 5, 2016 SkyDekker ******>Bush’s total for his two terms in office is 533 days, which includes 490 at the ranch and the rest at Kennebunkport. For comparison’s sake, President Bill Clinton’s total is 174 days, and Reagan hit 390 (349 at his ranch and 41 in Palm Springs), according to Knoller. From: http://www.factcheck.org/2014/08/presidential-vacations/ You defended Bush's vacation record. How many of those 490 days did he host and meet with other world leaders, and take care of business as normal but remotely? He did go there but many of those days it was "work from the ranch days", not all idle days roping cows. I am sure Bush accomplished much more on his vacation days than Obama does on his. Because, Obama. Does it burn you so bad you can't even admit that it was probable that many of those days were "working days", instead you make a shitty quip about it, smh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With Obama it's pure sloth. He spends his time plotting how to take guns away from . . . no, wait, that's too close to work. He spends his time drinking French wine and smoking cigars. Yeah, that's it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think the President ever get's a day off, regardless of where he is. I do think optics are important though and even a great president would get flack if he spent more time out of his office than in his office at the White House.

jclalor 12 #34 February 23, 2017 rushmcQuoteRemember When Obama Promised No Vacations? ***"You don't make that decision unless you are prepared to make that sacrifice, that tradeoff, that bargain.” QuoteIn the short video clip above that features then-Senator Barack Obama discussing his ghost-written book The Audacity of Hope with New York Times columnist Bob Herbert in 2008, the future president was talking about how those who "seek that office" of the presidency need to "be prepared to give their life to it”: “Essentially the bargain that any president strikes with the American people is, you give me this office and in turn my fears, doubts, insecurities, foibles, need for sleep, family life, vacations, leisure is gone. I am giving myself to you, and the American people should have no patience for whatever's going through your head, because you've got a job to do... You don't make that decision unless you are prepared to make that sacrifice, that tradeoff, that bargain.” Obama declared that his family members are included in that commitment. "Can you imagine yourself, at some point, making that kind of commitment?" Herbert asks. "Sure," Obama replies, to a round of applause from the audience. Two presidential terms later, the First Family has racked up anywhere from $70 million (according to Judicial Watch) to $100 million (National Report) in vacation expenses, charged to the American taxpayers, over the course of "38 holidays, working vacations, and fun trips like a date night in New York" according to the Washington Examiner's calculations. "They are on par to take at least 45 holidays before leaving office," the Examiner reports: CBS White House Reporter Mark Knoller, the unofficial presidential record keeper, calculates that the president has taken 22 vacation trips spanning all or part of 160 days. http://www.truthrevolt.org/news/remember-when-obama-promised-no-vacations So what say you now?

Phil1111 1,183 #35 February 23, 2017 How about a new tax code. An independent organization will determine if a statement made by a politician is a lie. If so, asses a fine that arises to the political party for the lie. It will depend on the degree and if it was a innocent mistake or a "pants on fire whopper". The proceeds to fund a new Obamacare, and national defense. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jclalor 12 #36 February 23, 2017 rushmc *** Quote If you would care to take a real look, this not about how many vacations either president took or takes It is about what Obama said Obviously not, because when I pointed out that he never promised not to take a vacation, you replied with his number of vacation days. Face it, you just hadn't had an Obama bash all day, so you parroted this lame shit. It is about what he said And threads like this bring the all you Obama supporters out like flies to a turdyou just gotta lay your eggs You cant help yourselves What about what Trump has said? https://youtu.be/I05PFWHQofU Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
