Title: Obamas plan 20-day, $4 million vacation
Post by: rocca on November 29, 2012, 02:48:44 PM
So Obama reckons he's worked his butt off to get re-elected, so hey, why not reward himself with a 20-day, $4 million dollar Hawaii vacation he so does NOT deserve. Never mind that there are still real and immediate issues at hand.

Screw the fiscal cliff, as long as the one gets his vacation right? Then again he's already racked up $6 billion, so what's an measly $4 million gonna do anyway.

He got to rest up for the big Inaugural Love fest in which we'll spend Billions on this egotistical jerk.

Thank God he's taking vacations.  Brings us that much closer to 2016 with that many fewer days of damage he's doing.

Turns out, our "royal" Family costs the American people $1.4 BILLION a year to keep them in the lifestyle to which they've become accustomed.

The British Royal Family, on the other hand, only costs them 58 MILLION a year.

When will we wake up?!  :cursing:

Actually I saw some figures recently that showed 14.3 Billion spent on the Obama's since he usurped the office. That includes Moochelle and the little Bling-Bling$.

Are all libs as incompetent as you in using Google?  I've never seen Conservatives demand the Lib do their homework for them.

Nevermind.

Let me google that for you

Is that how it works Yawn ? Someone claims something and it up to others to provide evidence for it.

This is just a basic requirement. You claim something, you should then provide evidence. I know you live in a world where you just believe whatever fits your view of the world, which explains why you constantly post stupid crap on this forum.

Thank you for providing a link.

Your link claims Obama and his family spent 1.4 billion last year. The original claim ( from someone else, not you) was 14.3 billion.

It's a FORUM. Not a damn essay. I refuse to footnote every damn sentence.  If you have a question, learn to use google.  Otherwise don't waste our time.  I did you a favor providing you the link you could easily find yourself.  I won't hold your hand again.

QuoteI know you live in a world where you just believe whatever fits your view of the world

No, I READ and I listen to a variety of NEWS sources. Not Jon Stewart or MSLSD.  The Conservatives here seem to be able to keep up.  Maybe if you get a little more exposure to what's really going on you wouldn't have trouble keeping up either.

Sorry pal, leaving off the rest of the post doesn't do it for ya', especially since Ragin Rebel posted it.  He said, I read somewhere that.........14.3 billion (since he usurped the office).  Over a period of 4 years is the way I took it and the way that crowd has spent like drunken sailors, I don't doubt it.  I'm sure Ragin won't waste any time providing your all important link that you most likely aren't even interested in.

Please young lady,  A drunken sailor stops when he runs out of his own money.

That's just simply lazy.

I don't expect you to footnote anything. But if you're going to say something like a figure, you should provide a source. And not create a big fuss when someone asks you.

I have a hard time keeping up with your bullshit, it's true. You make so many stupid baseless claims.

I thought everyone just assumed that already.

4 times 1.4 billion = 5.6 billion.   Assuming this is even correct, how does that translate into 14.3 billion ?

The blatent arrogance of lib politicians never ceases to amaze (apall) me. I doubt if I'll ever be able to afford take my wife on a 10 day trip to Hawaii...let alone TWENTY days! WHO get's a 20 day vacation??? :cursing: The LAST time I even had TIME to take a 20 day vacation was in Apr. 2009 when I was laid off for 6 months...right after Obama took office for the first time!

End of rant :cursing:

I wouldn't care if he stayed on vacation. It would cost the country about $292,000,000. to keep on vacation until 2016. That is a good deal.

This is another one of those stories the ignorant masses never hear about.  You can bet, if it was President Bush ripping off the taxpayer this way it'd be on the MSM every night along with the high gas  prices, unemployment, the thousands of businesses going under, etc. :cursing:
