I read that Bush played golf the same amount of times in 8 years as Obama has in close to 2 years.

They need a vacation - it’s been a rough two days since the last one.

Obama is a classic form of a mean bully, the smiling face, smooth tongued, surface-polite kind that are light in the loafers yet that would torture and strangle their best friends kitten in front of them just to see the reaction.

The story told by his Indonesian step-sister Lia — that he would tie her up in bed to keep her from getting up before he did — makes sense.

I’ll bet that 80 percent of the population doesn’t even know about these trips and even more don’t care.

Lord, I hope we see changes in November that will convince me the country is waking up. Listening to MSM is to the detriment of all and I am sure they have been silent on the vacation activities of the “first family.” Of course, the 13% of the polls that always say “I dunno” make me crazy. It’s as though they live in another universe - not even knowing simple questions as to who is the vice-president!

They did this last year at this same time. This is their Ramadan getaway.

Last year, they banned the press from coming. Are they going to ban the press again this year? Is there something that goes on during this particular vacation that they don't want the press to see?

Also, last year they didn't have their pet dog Bo. Will they bring Bo along with them this year?

And if I go on vaca, I lose production and have to make up the shifts to stay even with my partners. So that’s not really even a paid vacation. Must be nice to take a vaca with no real-life consequences. Govt employees, including the POTUS, are the MORE equal animals. I need to go work for Bell, CA. Oh, I guess the jig is up on that one...

Bush -- first 18 months in office -- 92 days vacation. Obama -- first 18 months in office -- 33 days vacation.

They're counting the time President Bush spent at the "Western White House", Camp David and any other overnight away from Washington to rack up his number.

Remember when he said he was going to spend a month at Crawford? The State Run Media went nuts. Of course he can work just as well at Crawford as he can in DC 'cause he stays there. He wasn't traveling around Texas day in and day out hobnobbing with the rich and famous to keep his face in the news and running up the travel tab on the taxpayer dime.

Here we have Queen Barry and King Michelle jetting off to New York, Maine, Florida, Spain, Massachusetts, Europe, etc., living the good life of sightseeing, wining and dining and consoling friends by giving them a European vacation on the taxpayer dime.

Yep and MY HEALTH insurance just went up 2% and upon some research I found out it IS BECAUSE OF ObamaCare. The insurance companies are pounding up the costs because they know they have to now.

Only 2%? Mine went up 44% and I didn't even have a claim on it during the last 18 months.

Our insurance broker flat out told us it was because of the DeathCare bill and that the insurance company was getting it's profits in now before it didn't have any.

And in between clearing brush, Bush treated the ranch as a “Western White House” and actually did Presidential work and received dignitaries. Bambi’s time out of DC is purely for frolicking. Not that that differs from his time IN DC.

Exactly!

ALSO: Warning to ALL. A brand new thing (Thanks ObamaCare)
if you want on a policy you must pass a physical very much like a nurse coming to your house to get life insurance.

I swear to my God I will dump our health insurance to eat as I am hearing companies drawing down and no longer paying for health insurance or matching 401 K’s and peoples entire paychecks are going to their health insurance shortly before they are laid off.

So I will get black shoe polish and get it free so I can eat.

Interesting. I remember that now that you mentioned it.

Obama sneaks to his prayer rug I am sure.
