cptau 169 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 funny how they all take more time off and go further away since they started using jet airliners instead of trains and wagons to go on vacation.

RunInRed 19,667 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Oh heaven forbid he use Air Force One ... The U.S. Air Force calculates it costs $181,757 per flight hour to operate Air Force One.Travel time direct from Washington D.C. to Hawaii is about nine hours, which gives a total of $3,271,611 there and back. Read more: http://www.dailymail...l#ixzz3wIdEawZD BTW - Where were your posts when some one else was in office? On Aug. 8, 2014, Knoller tweeted that Obama had taken 19 vacations totaling 125 days so far while in office. Those numbers have risen a bit due to the Martha’s Vineyard vacation, but that’s still many fewer than George W. Bush’s 65 combined trips to his Texas ranch and his parents’ home in Kennebunkport, Maine, which totaled 407 days at the same point in his presidency.... As we’ve noted previously, the unique security concerns for the president mean that he and his family can’t simply head out on the road and plop down at a Motel 6. And all presidents have to be accessible for consultation and decision-making even if they’re on vacation. As Knoller tweeted, a president "is never really on ‘vacation.’ The job and responsibilities go with him wherever he is." http://www.politifac...-or-barack-oba/ Raptor, predictably, you enter the new year with more of the same nonsense.

AURaptor 1,137 Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Again with the phony comparisons to George Bush? Most of his vacations were at Crawford Texas, or Camp David. This lie that Obama has taken fewer vacation days than W just won't end, will it? Anything to save the image of The One. And predictably, you continue to defend this entitled , smug incompetent of a President. Seven straight Hawaiian vacations costing American taxpayers tens of millions of dollars. And what did you call this? Nonsense ? You're delusional.

Updated, Dec. 23, 2015: As he has in past years, the president is vacationing in Hawaii for the holidays. So we thought we would check in with Knoller, the CBS reporter who keeps track of presidential vacations, for an update. Knoller tells us in an email that Obama has taken “24 vacation trips of varying lengths totaling all or part of 182 days as of today.” This means that Obama as president now has taken more vacation days than Bill Clinton, but less than George W. Bush.http://www.factcheck...tial-vacations/ Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/149499-obamas-4-million-16-day-hawaiian-vacation/#findComment-2412812 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURaptor 1,137 Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 I knew you would not compare apples to apples. Five star vacations to Hawaii in no way whatsoever are comparable to Bush spending time in his own ranch down in Texas. Sorry sir, you lose.

AU_Tiger_88 417 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 It would be interesting to compare what the first ladies trips were separate from their husbands and the cost of those...I seem to member that the current first lady went on a trip with her girlfriends and kids to Spain at Taxpayer expense....and don't forget date night flights to NYC which isn't counted as vacation days...

Oh yeah, Barry's got a phone and a pen. He's " workin' ". How many rounds of golf did Barry get in over the 2+ weeks , 5 star resort , multi-million dollar vacation ?

Five star vacations to Hawaii in no way whatsoever are comparable to Bush spending time in his own ranch down in Texas. Sorry sir, you lose. So now it's not the number of days you spend on vacation but where you spend vacations? Care to explain why? Again, this is an old discussion. Bush owns his ranch, which means it cost far less to secure. He's also not taking a huge entourage with him, as Obama loves to do. No golf course fees, no 5 star resort amenities... And let's not ignore the fuel costs. Jet fuel to fly to and from Hawaii , from D.C. is 4 x what it cost to fly to Crawford Texas. ( 4,800 + miles vs 1,200 miles ) Mr Global Warming sure doesn't give a damn about burning fossil fuels when it comes to flying big time vacationing, huh? This is such a slam dunk issue, I can't see how anyone would waste time trying to defend this jack ass's antics as President.
