Yes, if President Obama stays at his home in DC it should count the same as President Bush staying in Crawford. Anybody complaining about any of our presidents vacation costs is being absurd. But complaining about the amount of time on vacation is legitimate. However, presidents are always working 24/7 and presidents' travel is by its nature expensive and it is an expense we can afford. Not unlike all the griping about the various Speakers' trips home.

Yes, blacks do not go to Harvard, nor live in Chicago, and all speak ghetto. Your training is coming along quite well.

Where do we start to place the blame?
I believe the people have taken this treatment of up yours, by the government
so long that they just go with the flow.
I read an article the other day which stated we the people will pay and pay
and pay what we are told to pay because we are SHEEP, that's right sheep. lead to slaughter.
The funny thing about this article, it was stated by are elected officials,and
was over heard by a staff member who leaked it.
No big deal we hear these stories all the time. and they know we are aware, and don't care..
So my question is who do we blame? and what can we do as hard working citizens?

He is correct , Obamo was elected by Sorris and the liberal left wing.
And yes, most of the blacks voted for him as well.
And I as well think he is probably the worst President of late. But not to worry
if he is re-elected this country will be run by the U.N.

Disregarding all the furor concerning Barack's legal status to serve, the questions in
the article lead me to wonder how a mixed breed person on a Fulbright Scholarship
as a foreign student became a millionaire on a $12,000/year job as a community
organizer?
This election has me very worried. So many things to consider. I voted for Obama. McCain was a Washington insider and we don't need any more of them. I have changed my mind three times, since then. I watch all the news channels, jumping from one to another. I must say this drives my husband crazy. But, I feel if you view CNN, and Fox News, you might get some middle ground to work with.
I have four daughters who went to College, and we were middle class, and money was tight. We (including my girls) worked hard and there were lots of student loans. I started looking into Obama's history for my own peace of mind.
Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California. "Barry"(that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan. During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a "round the world" trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia , next Hyderabad in India , three weeks in Karachi , Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate's family, then off to Africa to visit his father's family.
My question - Where did he get the money for this trip? Nether I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they were in college. When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York. It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barack - not Barry. Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia ? It's not cheap! to say the least. My girls asked me; where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe it's none of my business?
After Columbia, he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000 a year. Why Chicago? Why not New York ? He was already living in New York. By "chance" he met Antoin "Tony" Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria, and a real estate developer in Chicago. Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery several times in the past and in 2011. Rezko, was named "Entrepreneur of the Decade" by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association".
About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School. Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School? Where did he get the money for Law School? More student loans? His family had no money that's for sure.
After Law school, he went back to Chicago. Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Guess what I discovered? They represented "Rezar" which is Rezko's firm. Rezko was one of Obama's first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago. In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendell and claims was instrumental in providing Obama with "seed money" for his U.S. Senate race.
In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwoood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than asking price). With ALL those Student Loans - Where did he get the money for this property? On the same day Rezko's wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama's new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko.
Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett, was Michele Obama's boss. She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz, Iran! Am I going nuts or is there a pattern here?
On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley advisor to Obama was "sacked" after the press found out he was having regular contacts with "H****s", which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran. This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama's visit to Iraq, he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will "Take care of things". What the heck does that mean? Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that were born in Pakistan? They are in charge of all those "small" Internet campaign contribution for Obama. Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East?
And the final bit of news. On September 7, 2009, The Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on "This Week" with George Stephanopoulos. Obama on talking about his religion said, "My Muslim faith". When questioned, "he make a mistake". Some mistake huh? All of the above information I got on line. If you would like to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: Daily Times - Obama visited Pakistan in 1981;The Washington Times - September 7, 2008; The Times May 10, 2008.
Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own. Why haven't all of our "intelligent" members of the press been reporting this? Is this a Kettle of smelly imported Fish??
As Arseno Hall would say.----HUMMMMMMM!
These are legitimate questions for the president and all Americans. Will history report that our president was bought and paid for?

Here are some facts about Bush vacationing before 911:
While Bush vacationed, 9/11 warnings went unheard. - Slate Magazine
excerpt:
In an otherwise dry day of hearings before the 9/11 commission, one brief bit of dialogue set off a sudden flash of clarity on the basic question of how our government let disaster happen.
The revelation came this morning, when CIA Director George Tenet was on the stand. Timothy Roemer, a former Democratic congressman, asked him when he first found out about the report from the FBI's Minnesota field office that Zacarias Moussaoui, an Islamic jihadist, had been taking lessons on how to fly a 747. Tenet replied that he was briefed about the case on Aug. 23 or 24, 2001.
Roemer then asked Tenet if he mentioned Moussaoui to President Bush at one of their frequent morning briefings. Tenet replied, "I was not in briefings at this time." Bush, he noted, "was on vacation." He added that he didn't see the president at all in August 2001. During the entire month, Bush was at his ranch in Texas. "You never talked with him?" Roemer asked. "No," Tenet replied. By the way, for much of August, Tenet too was, as he put it, "on leave."

If you don't think the presidents are working when they are at Camp David or their other homes, then you have to stay away from buying mountainview property in Texas.
Also, Bush went out for 24 rounds of golf during his 8 years, Obama is already over 80 rounds.
Don't forget, he begged us for this job.
