In answer to the question you inserted in the headline:

No, we didn’t see headlines like this when the Bushes were on vacation. That’s because the Bushes had class and didn’t go out of their way to strut their stuff in front of the cameras.

It’s all a giant photo op, but I’m OK with it. I like it when Barry0 is distracted and out of Washington.

(Flying that unruly dog on his own plane is a bit much, the Obama version of “let them eat cake.”)

Well, we didn’t see headlines when GWB and family vacationed, but the talking heads on tv used to crow about it. Meanwhile, I’d venture that most of his vacations involved some work. He never fully escaped his duties as President.

With luck, he won't be able to find his way back.

"... Flying that unruly dog on his own plane is a bit much ..."

Not if you recall that Mohammedans and dogs -- unclean, unclean! -- never travel in the same vehicle.
