    It will take a Herculean effort to even get Donald Trump to go on a vacation.

    I remember reading something several years ago where he said going on vacation was like torture for him. He would much rather be working.

    Obama obviously wasn't cut from the same cloth.

    Few things that stood out if you actually read the article...

    Bush vacationed more than Obama.

    Obama's Avg. Vacay was $3.5 mil, Trump just spent $7 mil in taxpayer dollars for Thanksgiving, and did so at his own resort.

    Presidents rarely actually get to unplug, they are working even during vacations. Obama was said have had his vacations cursed because he always got interrupted. But Bush did not interrupt his when Katrina happened, he finished out his final 3 days before he showed up in NOLA.

    People just read headlines. SMH Just read sweethook's response above.

    Bin Laden dead?

    Economy Up ?
    Gas Cheap?
    Interest Rates Low?
    Jobs Up?

    I am not an Obama fan but I seem to remember a fuquen shit show when W Bush was in office. Did everyone forget? He started a Needless war over a lie and now the whole Middle East is in shambles. W IS a thousand times worse then Barry. Anyone who does not huff paint and smoke Angel dust should know that.

    You're right. The Middle East is now in shambles because of W. Historically it has always been one of the more stable places in the world. No corruption or violence there ever. What a shame.

    The cost of presidential vacations is primarily protection/safety costs. It's not like you or I taking a vacation.

    What country do you live in? When I look up at Obama's record I see businesses like ford and General Motor's opening plants in Mexico and jobs left Ohio like crazy to go overseas. I see Black unemployment at an all time high, homeless at an all time high and welfare at an all time high. Foreclosures still out there by the millions. Because of Obama and Holder race relations in this country are at there worst. Oh, almost forgot that he increased the national debt more than any other president in our history. So, the only people huffing paint and smoking angel dust are people like you who think this piece of trash actually did a good job. One third of our population is receiving some form of government assistance (109 million plus out of 300 mil plus). Anyone who thinks thats a good job is delusional.

    How many dead soldiers from fake WMD war that W. manufactured. Again. He is 10000 times worse then Obama. That was my point.
    I love your Fox News slanted view. It is hard cleaning up Bush's mess. How do you decrease debt while. spending trillions in Bush's Iraq? He could have left and you would have gave him shite for that. I looked up numbers on Unemplotment and homeless. Both were higher under W per Wikipedia.
    I Didnt say Barry did a great job but because he was handed W,s shit storm and made progress and anyone who feels different has GOP Fox news hanity blinders on.

    You call the guy trash? Even if you hate all the decisions he has made. IT IS NO REASON TO CALL HIM TRASH. I get it. You let Fox news dictate your opinion for you. The truth is. He is a kind , classy , respectful President who did what he thought was right. You would rather have President Pussy Grabber? Embarrassing.

    Exactly. Some of the stuff that is listed under vacation, is far from an actual vacation.

    I form my own opinions and don't even watch fox news. Anyone could see that Obama is total garbage. If it makes you feel better Bush sucked also. The last line in your post "You would rather have President Pussy Grabber? Embarrassing." is so comical. You voted for Hillary, I'm sure, so you were going to put the biggest pussy grabber and sex offender back in White House named Bill Clinton. Typical Liberal. Can't even admit Obama was shit.

    nonsense

    people are hating on Obama for good reason. The last recession wasn't caused by a republican as you like to pretend. It was caused by subprime mortgages sold all over the world while politicians, on both sides, looked the other way. It was a world wide economic crisis. Bush was one of the few politicians who warned congress many times but in the end, he didn't do enough obviously. Freddie and Fannie hello?

    Everyone knew most of those jobs lost would come back as they always seem to. The USA is a huge economy. Same with the stock market. Look at it over the 100 years, it always goes up. Obama didn't have some special magical power to single handedly increase the dow. Well, other than pumping in 85 billion per month of taxpayers dollars to artificially pump up the market if course.

    More people living in poverty, more on food stamps, more not working than in the 70's, obamacare, 21 trillion debt etc.

    What will be his legacy?
