Its only March, but the Obama family has welcomed the new year by carving out some real, quality family time. In the first three months of the year, the Obama family has taken three vacations. The trips, at considerable taxpayer expense, come at a time Obama has threatened severe cuts to government services as a result of sequestration. To save money on Secret Service, for example, Obama has canceled public, self-guided tours of the White House. The added Secret Service costs for Obama's vacations, however, are likely far higher than any savings from scrapping the tours.
The Obamas rang in the new year during a long holiday in Hawaii. In February, the family jetted to Aspen for a ski getaway. While his family was there, Obama flew to Florida for a "guys' weekend" of golf with celebrities like Tiger Woods. Obama's golf getaway alone was estimated to cost around $1 million, or about half the savings achieved by canceling the White House tours.
It should also be noted that, since the President and his family decided on separate vacations for Presidents Day weekend, the costs for Secret Service would be considerably higher than if they vacationed together.
Breitbart News reported Monday that the First Daughters, Sasha and Malia, were spending Spring Break with friends at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. It is unknown whether Michelle and Barack will join their daughters in the Bahamas, or if the family will vacation somewhere else for Easter.
Preparations are already underway for the Obamas' summer trip to Martha's Vineyard. That trip is only a little more than four months away. The family will certainly be in need of another get-away by then.

Federal employees are losing 20% of their salary to furlough while the president refuses to sacrifice his "me" time.
Yeah, that sounds about right.

I recall him saying a while back that to get the Country back on track, everyone will have to have some skin in the game. Unfortunately what he meant was he needs our skin so that only he can play in the game.

That one sure is lazy.

I'm fine with them going on vacation. I would like to see them spending a month in all 57 states. Just stay out of the White House, and off of all forms of communication until then.
It would be a whole lot cheaper in the long run.

the only problem with that, of course, is that he's got his sycophants - namely his cabinet thugs - who are doing all the dirty work.
He's the ultimate lazy shitbird. Doesn't roll up his own sleeves and get his hands dirty (unless a photo op is involved) and has his taxpayer-paid thugs do all the real damage.
I'll bet his shit doesn't stink either. :whatever:

I'm sure the DUmpmonkiees will use the "Bush took MORE vacations than ANY pRESident evah!!!!!!!!" meme.

Hi Friggin 5!!!! Totally ooky that is.
Additionally, I am questioning the placement of this thread from the git-go. Breaking News? Hardly. :whatever:
No offense to TRG, however. :-*

See the thing is, I like you. I get conflicted when I see those avatars.

Much, thank you :rofl:
The latter is purely fictional, the former was, well, ookie.

Yeah, and those poor children, the stressful lives they lead, when they need to take a ski vacation to Sun Valley this weekend...
Oh, what's that, you say? I'm wrong? They were in the Bahamas for Spring Break already? Silly rabbit, that was LAST WEEK. This is EASTER vacation now, and they shall not be denied!!!

Just don't expect the MSM to report on it.

He's the ultimate lazy shitbird.
He really is. The product of a scripted, intellectually coddled, pampered academic existence that was done for the purposes of Socialist progress and he fit the suit they wove. I wouldn't put Bush43 up against Victor Davis Hanson, but Obinga is such a pedestrian intellect that the reins must be held tight or the extemporaneous outbursts embarrass quickly.
All of this was predicted, by corn pones like us, from the start.

Same rules do not apply for Obama as Bush
