FLASHBACK: Obama Promises No Vacations For Himself As President

Just a quick glance, it appears that Obama continues the trend of democratic presidents taking far fewer vacations than their rep counterparts. That's not good.

Of course, not counting daily vacations where one golfs all day goes a long way towards statistical manipulation!
 
You were implying the statistics on presidential vacations were, in Obama's case, possibly manipulated vis a vis golfing.

I don't think they've been manipulated at all. Until this President, I don't think anyone ever thought to include "day off golfing" as "vacation".
 
This is a difficult issue because, honestly, I wish Obama would go on vacation for the next two years. It would be cheaper for us in the long run to just pay for his and his moron wife's lavish royal travel than to have him around screwing things up.

The difference between Bush and Obama is Bush and his wife would retreat to the garden spot of Crawford, Texas to his own ranch, from which he would work. The Obamas travel the world using the taxpayers' credit card, accompanied by a massive entourage.

Bush was so well loved abroad he had no need to travel internationally.
