Even the French are appalled at Obama's lack of concern.
The French foreign Minister Laurent Fabius has a message about Iraq for Barack Obama: Get back to the White House and do something.
'I know it is the holiday period in our Western countries,' Fabius told a radio interviewer Tuesday in France,' but when people are dying, you must come back from vacation."
And from the Washington Post:
"Even presidents need down time, and Obama can handle his commander-in-chief duties wherever he is,' Washington Post columnist Dana Milbank wrote on Monday.
'But his decision to proceed with his getaway just 36 hours after announcing the military action in Iraq risks fueling the impression that he is detached as the world burns."
I say that was too kind to say Obama's detached. He just doesn't give a damn

Obamas set new record for vacation travel expenses; stonewalled documents finally released
It took filing a lawsuit, but Judicial Watch discovered Friday that President Obama has set a new record for travel on the taxpayer dime.
The conservative watchdog group obtained travel records from the U.S. Department of the Air Force that show the Obamas racked up $7.4 million during just three trips in 2013 ? in flight expenses only.
The records, revealed Friday, include the Obama family?s Christmas vacation in Hawaii from Dec. 21, 2012, to Jan. 5, 2013. During that stay, the president took a short break and flew back to Washington to work on a budget deal, then returned for the rest of his vacation.

The second trip was in early August, 2013, when Obama flew to California for a private fundraiser with DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, then appeared with Jay Leno on the ?Tonight Show.? Later that month, the Obama family vacationed in Martha?s Vineyard, Mass.
Judicial Watch filed the lawsuit in August 2013, after repeated stonewalling by the White House. The group reported:
* The outbound flight to Honolulu for the Obamas? 2012-13 Christmas vacation cost taxpayers $2, 214, 393.60. The return flight to Washington cost $1,871,961.60. Flight expenditures alone came to $4,086,355.20.
* The outbound flight to California in August, 2013 for Obama to dine with Katzenberg and appear on the ?The Tonight Show? cost taxpayers $1,209,926.40. The return flight to Washington cost $935,980.80. Flight expenditures alone came to $2,145,907.20.
* The outbound flight to Martha?s Vineyard for the Obama family?s August vacation cost taxpayers $890,323.20. The return flight to Washington cost $273,945.60. Flight expenditures alone came to $1,164,268.80.
* The grand total of $7,396,531.20, Judicial Watch pointed out, only accounted for flight expenses for the three trips.
?The fact is, the Obamas are abusing the public trust and the taxpayers with unnecessary luxurious vacations and travel,? Judicial Watch said in its report. ?These staggering costs show why these documents were covered-up and we had to sue in federal court to get them. Another transparency fail for the Obama gang, but thanks to our federal lawsuit it is another accountability win for the American taxpayer.?
OBULLSHITTER IS GETTING HIS MONEY'S WORTH ON THE TAXPAYERS BACK
You comparison is totally misleading and you know it.. Bush was always engaged to his duty.
Bullshitter is on vacation 24/7!

Damn, Duff! Glad to hear you got some new plumbing.....and that all is good. I hope they pulled it out of your RIGHT leg, that side works better than the left - hahahahaha
Obama said he would forego vacations and leisure and sleep.....I do not track the days of vacation but he seems to have taken a lot of expensive trips - I think most of Georgie's were to his ranch in Crawford where he had his own Oval Office set up.
Disappointed that O was on the golf course 4 minutes after his presser about Ferguson and Iraq.....

You let an ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT perform surgery on you?
What Hospital hires ILLEGALS?

I didn't ask to see his "papers".
By the way, where are your papers? You sound like a Muslim plant to me.
