Going to Camp David doesn’t cost the taxpayers enough. He wants more bucks for his bang.

Camp David is too “American” for him.

I am surprised that he hasn’t had it bulldozed as a symbol of White privilege and because Bush liked it so much.

If it was renamed “Camp Alinsky” his attitude would change.

That's it. Camp David isn't exotic enough for the king and queen. Obama took the job for the perks and benefits and he can't destroy the middle class by being frugal.

Post of the Day. You nailed it. In fact, he could golf while he was up there, but golfing isn't what he's really interested in.

I’m sure our military personnel living in these crap holes around the world would love to spend some time at Camp David.

Maybe we can kick Obama’s butt out of their since he’s done nothing to deserve a vacation anyway.He works so hard.B.S.What a spoiled little brat.

I think it is because it is too remote for him. It is not conducive to photo ops at CD.

Even better. Hadn’t heard about fishing.

It’s fun looking at old photos from there. Shooting with no eye or ear protection and stuff like that.

The chapel there probably keeps Obama away.

since Obola is an anti-Semite, Camp David sounds too Jewish to a mooselim and he doesn’t associate with Jews.
