> But Russia's intervention in Ukraine has put Obama's plans in doubt, making it possible the family could end up at the White House.
Poor Obama family! They'll have to stay in the executive mansion! Oh, the humanity!
> Every president gets criticized for the amount of time spent away from the White House, and Obama is no different. The Florida vacation, if it happens, would be his third for the year.
Only his third vacation this year! Can't the poor man take a day off?!

At least the poor man got to have Christmas in Hawaii. He's working so hard for us, you know. Those golf clubs aren't going to swing themselves!

Bush did something bad, but when Obama does it, it is okay.

The club manufacturers need these jobs.

the fuck are you talking about, "bad?"
he took 89 days in his first term, that's like 22 days a year. i naturally get off on national holidays, christmas, new years, plus i get a few days off (paid) and all of that totals about 14 days, plus i get a week vacation or so. all in all i probably take more time off than he does counting the sick days i make sure to use.
bush took 367 days at the same point in his presidency Obama had taken 92 (if you'd read my source you'd have seen that right away.)
For BOTH terms, bush took 879 vacation days. That's about 2 and a half years total,
or 109 days per year if you divide it out equally. That's like 3 months+ every year
that's something bad.
obama is fine to vacation as much as he likes, he'd pretty much have to just quit at this point to make up the 600 some-odd day difference if he expects to be lazier than bush W
