Quoting: TimeTravler721 But those people in the WH Now think they are ROYALTY NOW... Moving on up.... Exactly. Vacation at his own home or at his parents place in Kennebunkport. And when the war started he quit playing golf all together. Thought it looked bad to be playing golf while our people are dying in the war. |

telling it straight (OP) User ID: 1461054 United States 08/24/2011 11:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Even the Obamas travel to Martha's Vineyard cost us waaaay more than it needed to. From the article: "But the situation sparked further anger after he and his wife elected to fly separately to the Massachusetts retreat - despite travelling on the same day. Mr Obama left the White House aboard Marine One on his way to Andrews Air Force base to hitch a lift aboard Air Force One - along with First Dog Bo. After landing at Cape Cod Coast Guard Air Station, he then took a final helicopter to his holiday destination to complete the remarkable 500-mile journey. His wife and daughters, who arrived just four hours earlier, were also travelling from Washington, but took a specially designed military aircraft. They would also have had their own motorcade from the airport to the vacation residence. Read more: [link to www.dailymail.co.uk] |

There should be an outcry like never before. We all realize that the president and their families live a privileged life while in office, but these two are rubbing our noses in it. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1519371 No other president's spent so much of taxpayers dollars on vacation and taken SO MUCH TIME off from the job. With all that's happening, he's spent two months + (this is from March) of his presidency off playing golf. DOES NOT INCLUDE THE VACATIONS AND VACATION GOLF. This article is from March of this year and look at the facts: "Well, the mercury has crept back up above 60 degrees here in Washington, and so it’s time once again for President Obama to head out to the golf course. This is the president’s 60th time golfing as president, meaning Obama has spent two months of his presidency on the golf course. The rounds usually take about five hours, including motorcading back an forth to the course. According to statistics compiled by CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller, who keeps close tabs on the president’s activities, Obama played 30 rounds in 2010, 28 rounds in 2009, and two this year, including today. George W. Bush gave up golfing in 2003, explaining why he did it in a 2008 interview with POLITICO. “I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf,” he said. “I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.” |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1519371 No, he's not, but he and his family spend OUR money like it's fucking water. Gdub took a lot of his time off at the FAMILY-owned ranch, at the FAMILY-owned property in Maine, and at the PUBLICLY-owned Camp David. Big difference. |

SoupLover User ID: 1504797 United States 08/25/2011 12:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't think Michelle would consider the $10 million 'vacation' money. She instead probably considers it as long overdue reparations from white slave masters.

She instead probably considers it as long overdue reparations from white slave masters. Quoting: SoupLover You may have a point especially given what she wrote in her Princeton paper but we'll never really know. What we can see is that this extravagance is waaaay over the top. My personal favorite was when she wore $500 sneakers to spoon meals at a soup kitchen feeding the homeless. I like bling as much as the next person but there doesn't seem to be any real connection to us as people. No appreciation for what we are going through. When I think about the good $10 million could have done! Just last week 1.5 million people were kicked off unemployment when their benefits ran out for the last time. Those people are now destitute! But those in the White House are livin' larger than ever! |
