I understand everyone needs a break every now and then and that the President is only human. But when you take this office you get to be the most powerful man in the world for at least four and no more than eight years. You get the opportunity to etch your name forever in history and set a country of 300 million+ on a different course based off your ideas.
That's an incredible benefit. And it only requires at most 8 years of your time.
In addition you get to live in a fabulous house and are waited on hand and foot everyday.
So for just eight years seems you could cut back on some things, if you want to get away, hop in Marine One and head to Camp David.

I'm just confused why this is such a big deal when other presidents have taken more vacation time, travelled more, and spent more money than Obama is now. Are presidents not allowed a vacation if the economy is struggling?
What bothers you more, the fact that this vacation is costing $4M, or the fact that it's Obama who's causing the spending of this money?

How about not acting like a bunch of babies, and working together? How about balancing the budget before Obama leaves the White House, since he hasn't presented one yet. How about not cutting military benefits and cutting their own?
Debt Ceiling Bluff Called By Harry Reid, Leaving Mitch McConnell To Filibuster Himself
WASHINGTON -- A move to embarrass Democrats backfired on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell Thursday as the Kentucky Republican proposed a vote on raising the nations borrowing limit on his own.

You didn't answer my question, but in response to yours, it's because we go to extreme lengths to ensure that our president isn't assassinated.
I'll ask again, what bothers you more, the fact that this vacation is costing $4M, or the fact that it's Obama who's causing the spending of this money?

So you're freely admitting that a good portion of the reason you're so up in arms is just simply because Obama is the president and Obama is the one taking this vacation.
Sounds like someone still hasn't gotten over the election.

This entire thread is stupid. The only reason it exists is because Barack Obama is in the White House. I'd be willing to bet that if Mitt Romney had won the election, you wouldn't have made this thread.
All you're doing is looking for anything to attack Obama on because you're still upset about the election.

The man is wasting our money and taking three weeks of vacation while the country is trying to sort out this fiscal cliff. So if everything goes to hell and a bad deal is reached is he just going to claim he wasn't around so it's not his fault? lol.

Will take $4million dollar vacation for three weeks to Hawaii for Christmas. Not only will he likely be in in Hawaii when we fall off the cliff, but the man who hates rich people will spend $4million of our money to go on vacation.
To read more about the adventures of His Majesty King Obama I, click the link below.
Oh and BLF nearly all of Bush's vacations were to Camp David and his Crawford ranch and cost nowhere near as much as what the Obama's spend on theirs including this one. Also whatever his predecessors did doesn't justify anything he does, so don't use that lame argument either.
