THEY ARE going to the FLA coast this Saturday<-——INSERT PHOTO OP but even far left talking heads were thinking after Michelle’s vacation to Spain they would CANCEL Martha’s Vineyard and take their vacation on the Fla coast for a week.

When will someone in the MSM, or even the alternative media, start to compare the number of days Obama has been out of the WH to the number of days Bush was out of the WH.

Rembember all the consternation about Bush’s time at his Texas home “on vacation”?

I personally always thought that the President spending time at a residence is not really a vacation. I work from home. I’m quite sure the President can too.

However, I do think that spending time doing tourist-y things or playing golf IS vacation.

Someone needs to look it up and broadcast it one of these days.

“......Vineyard?.....we were told last week they were going to the southern coast to drum up tourism....????...”

It’s a full plate. They’ve got to work that vacation into the sked of all the other vacations they’ve got lined up. That one should take place around November.

The president's salary is set by congress. Nobody on that salary could afford these luxury vacations, not with 2 kids in the most expensive private school in the country.

What I want to know is who is paying for these vacations? Who's writing the checks and who is authorizing the writing of these checks?

While I have no issue with the US Government picking up the tab for the secret service, I want to know who's picking up the tab for the Obama's flights, the rooms, the luxury accommodations, the meals, the entertainment? Did Congress authorize these expenditures? Finally if they are not paying for these $5000 a night rooms themselves, are they claiming the value of these rooms and everything else as additional income on their income taxes?

I know if I were to get free vacations as a perk, I would have to include the value as income on my taxes. If I didn't, I'd get free accommodations in Federal Prison.

Does he actually do anything at all. I’m 100% sure that he is just the infomercial man with a nothing more than a desk in the office to make the office look legit but really the thing is run from behind the curtain.

Like one of those sham front companies with a desk in reception and a receptionist and nothing behind the reception door but empty office space.
