How many rounds of golf and expensive vacations do the Obama's need to be satisfied?

You are absolutely right, Quagmire.

Obama likes to speak in metaphors. Just as any good public speaker does, the President knows how to use word-pictures and relatable stories to make a point. here’s a metaphor for this new decade: Barack And Michelle Obama have been entrusted to handle a family credit card at a time when we all need to be restrained and sober-minded with our finances. And instead of emulating the discipline and self-restraint and “care for others” that they lecture us about, they have chosen instead to max-out the credit cards on their own self-gratifying expenditures, and leave the rest of us – mom and dad, adult siblings, and the grandchildren – to find a way to somehow make the minimum monthly payments.

What else can you say about a First Couple who takes 8 vacations during their first 18 months in the White House? This, of course, is the President who spent his first year in office repeatedly reminding us that the economic conditions he “inherited” were the “worst since the Great Depression,” all the while logging over 200 hours playing golf. And last month the Obama’s spent our scarce tax dollars providing a “separate flight” on a Gulfstream jet to transport their dog “Bo” to the family vacation destination in Maine-apparently Air Force One could not comfortably transport both Bo, AND the Obama family, all at the same time.

And now, America and the world have been treated to Michelle’s “vacation” in Spain (this is not a “state visit,” but indeed a personal trip) with forty of her best friends along for the ride, and her husband left at home. Even the New York Times has had to acknowledge the “hefty bill” that American taxpayers will end up paying, which may approach half a million dollars or more by the time “Michelle and friends” return home.

Such blatant disregard for the perceptions and sensibilities of the American people are often very politically costly for a President. But what we are seeing from Barack and Michelle is not merely a matter of being “tone deaf” or “out-of-touch,” as many in the media are claiming these days. o_O

Obama's life is a vacation - he has never held a job in the private sector, a job that demanded results

he just sucks off the taxpayers

Haha I agreed! The president could decrease off his costly holiday trips and use that greater funds to repay national charges! Why are we nevertheless dropping funds on the army in Afghanistan?! it somewhat is approximately time u . s . eliminate the army in distant places usa! undergo in innovations what president George Washington suggested approximately distant places affairs? He suggested in no way ever get contain with distant places affairs or usa! we could continuously be concerning approximately our usa and the thank you to make it a greater ideal place to stay and for the electorate! heavily if united states of america have some kind of civil wars taking place, do you think of alternative countries will help us out?! Hell no they didnt! they did no longer provide a hoot approximately us in any respect as quickly as we fought interior the civil conflict! Why could we waste earnings different countries as quickly as we could continuously concentration on our usa?!

He'll take as long as America's money holds out. 25 rooms in Spain. I heard some figures on how much,but I wonder how much it really cost.

And Obama is really over worked. You know. Trying to ruin America and all.

How right you are.

Michelle Obama has taken 10 VACATIONS IN A MONTH.

I'm sorry, let me rephrase. 10 TAX PAYER PAID vacations in a month.

Obama, just keep spending our money because in 2.5 years we will once again have a Republican (and American) president.

Lavish lifestyles?

Do you think John McCain and Cruella would be slumming in the White House right now?

It's kinda like that Commercial...How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?

THE ANSWER: We'll never know.

That's because they'll keep taking them as long as we keep letting them.

er...

A. how many rounds of golf does my dad need to be satified? I don't know... he plays all the time... but he's not a millionare? odd? how much do you think golf costs?

B. about 80 percent of the time, cons are complaining about the same vactation over and over again...

Lets face it. The Obamas are movin on up and loving life. Good for them. They return to private life in 2013.

I know that they love spending money (who money?) on their vacation (was it like the Clintons?) but I don't know that they play golf
