Let me know when obamas vacations and associated costs break previous records.
And thats the problem with you and your ilk. Always comparing him to bush, if bush was so horrible then why compare.
lol what?
shut up, please.
Did you even understand what he said?

He could easily afford to send his daughter on 5 vacations in one week ON HIS OWN. How do you know these are being paid for by our Taxes?
We have over $16 trillion in debt and it will go even higher and eventually the US economy WILL collapse. But according to some people there is nothing wrong with obama and his daughters going on vacation costing the taxpayer lots of money in a time where we should all be `suffering from sequester`.
Good grief you are dumb.
Because they don't have a choice other than never leaving the White House? Security for the first family is mandated. They don't get a choice in the matter.
And the figures being quoted are also severely bloated and don't lend anything to common sense.

Good grief your comment is childish.
You didn't even post a rebuttal. DIAF.
How about showing a bit of modesty in the tough times we are in. He and his family are on the tax payers dole, he is not a CEO of a private company.
I was always asking if the tax payers paid for the TRIP, not the airfare.
I also commented earlier about Air Force One most likely being accounted for in the Emergency budget. I asked, and I keep asking whether or not we paid for the Bahamas and Skiiing trips...to which you basically answered "how am I supposed to know?".
You can go back and look if you want.
Well, unless you are implying they should be confined to the WH or their dorms or something then I would think that security is required if they are on vacation or not. Sure there are other costs that wouldn't normally have been accrued but frankly that isn't even a rounding error on some pissant agencies budget.
Bottom line, I have absolutely no give a fuck about what the Presidents daughters do, where they vacation, who they do, etc...
I dont give a fuck about the costs either. I think it is petty to complain and there isnt much of a complaint from me. I am just grillling shehateme on her dancing around the costs of the trips and taxpayers paying for some or all of it.
Tax payers are paying for Air Force one. We have already established that. Are we all personally paying for Sasha and Malia to enjoy the beach and then the Mountains in the same week? Neither of us have proof of that. You admitted you didn't know.
Stop fucking crying about it already.
Tell me all about how Obama is spending all of our money on Vacations.
Good, we are making progress. We paid for the airfare. Now add in security. So yes, tax payers have paid for some portion of this trip.
Im not crying about the money spent. I am in disbelief it took this long for you to admit that tax payers money was spent on these trips.

He and his wife have made millions on their own. Those kids have zero privacy and little normalcy in their daily lives. I don't begrudge them the opportunity for a little fun once in a while.
TWO Vacations??? They had two vacations and you have the nerve to defend them?
This thread is like one of those crazy chain emails people get from their ultra right wing uncle.
