Found myself seeing all these vacation and golf articles pop up around the POTUS lately and was wondering if they were justified at all, or just more hate.

This stuff never bothers me.
I think Carter opened that can of worms with his every other week vacation to Camp David back the 70's. Every since then it's been SOP for every President since.

I'm more concerned about what they do say or do, while on the job, than I am about how little or much they are on the job.

I think most Presidents take 'working vacations". Bush's lasted pretty much his first term, since he gave his Presidentin' duties to Cheney.

Obama has spent his first term nothing but plundering the treasury and putting our children into debt to secure his own financial future.

What did he spend the treasury on?

Was his financial future in jeopardy? What do you base this on?

That has to be one of my all time favorite and overused statements from the right: To claim that our children will pay for our debts. Course' what's never mentioned is the lion's share of that debt was created by the Republican Party.

Republicans created (and defended) municipal union pensions?

Republicans created Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid and Obamacare?

Didn't know Johnson and Roosevelt were Republicans!

As I said- do a bit of research. Historically Republicans have out-spent Democrats and by a large margin and done so for decades. This have been repeatedly proven on this and other sites.

That's why I asked what Obama supposedly "spent the treasury" on. Automatic stabilizers? And why were they necessary?

Wars? Tax cuts?

How did we get there?
