I recall the time when Jeb Bush' wife had went to France and shopped. She had some trouble going through Customs when she returned. The Right doesn't remember that.
That dude was the king of vacation. Obama's problem is that he plays a lot of golf, which Bush (or his advisors) was smart enough to cut out. It made for bad optics. It's part of their "uppity Negro" subtext on Barack, playing right into the Repubs race-baiting and playing up their faux-working class white man's ethos.
G. W. Bush did things like mountain biking, jogging and working out. G.H.W. Bush played tennis and lost to the crowned Prince of the Imperial family of Japan and threw up during a dinner. Bill Clinton jogged, played golf and ate McDonald's fries. Barack Obama works out, plays golf, has country and western concert at the White House, as well as a few Hip-Hop summit meeting there, as well and even fired an over and under shotgun. Theodore Roosevelt once swam nude in the pool in the White House pool(or was it the fountain?). Presidential legacies. Take them or leave them.
Gee, that's a huuuuuge difference in VACATION days, yeah? Makes you wonder huh? His Texas ranch where he took lavish vacations must have be some fun, relaxing days for him. Imagine that..not working for 407 days compared to Obama's measly 125 of taking lavish vacations days to not work, frolic fun in the sun, golfing, etc. What a lazy bum Bush was. *Obama doesn't include his 11 trips to Camp David as vacays. Curaazzy, yeah?* Anyhoo, can't wait for the final BILL to the TAXPAYERS in 2016, so we can see just how much these two spent on their lavish vacations.
Why longer? I have been here about that long. Notwithstanding however, under U.S Immigration Law, I wasn't allowed to work until my husband (then my fiance) and I were married. Sales tax is State. lol.
Camp David is supposed to be a working retreat for the Executive. Too bad the people can't get someone elected who would take care of their business.
What the fuck were those African leaders doing in France ? When will they be doing that in Nigeria? Fucking clowns
Yes, I have, as a kid. What an amazing experience it was. First, you have to cross this slightly intimidating bridge (and when you look down, it's the craziest thing you've ever seen, as far as the depth below you is concerned, with trees growing way below you, but looking super tiny). Then you'd go up like a gazillion steps in this weird pattern, and then walk though the monastery, with all the crazy [medieval Christian torture] paintings and artifacts. The whole experience is extra awesome when you have a "slight" fear of heights, and can be slightly more receptive to outside stimuli at times (like these). They had paintings of martyrs being flayed, or burnt (alive), or some other crazy/torturous stuff that would just stick in your mind forever. And, back then, they would put a monk in this barrel, and then suspend him (in a barrel, on a rope) all the way down from the top of the mountain to the very bottom (all the way down below the bridge), just to get water from the river, so they could drink/bathe/whatever.
What lavish spending vacation spending did he have? Please, provide a researched, verifiable list of his reckless spending.
YES!! I also like to remind people that, for some of us, coming here involves purchasing a very expensive plane ticket, after you obtain a proper visa, of course.
Apparently the people of the world are having trouble finding their sympathy when it comes to Nigeria.
