Obama's $100,000 Children Spring Break vacation at Bahamas Atlantis, While America is Sequestering

reply to post by kozmo

No, we' are suggesting that President Odumbass put his money where his mouth is and stop living like he's some type of royalty! We are suggesting that he end the hypocrisy of whining about how tough we all have it while he lives like a king. We're suggesting that perhaps the hypocrite-in-chief demonstrate how "Difficult" the sequester is - after all he stated as much but continues to live the life of the rich.

Look at you....angry at the wealthy.

Isn't that what you claim is wrong with democrats???

In this thread....Hypocrisy.

Im not going to go into this fight one way or the other..but really..I can't believe we are fighting over the numbers..it's so tragic and laughable...100's of days of vacations....1000 days of vacation..

Remind me again the amount of days that an average American gets for vacation?

...and let's not forget Spring Break 2012 for Malia:

So how much does this vacation cost? We don’t know for certain, but as Breitbart points out, Judicial Watch discovered that Malia Obama’s spring break trip to Mexico last year cost taxpayers $115,000 due to accompanying Secret Service protection.

www.ijreview.com...

Are you suggesting that Malia not be afforded secret service protection or are you suggesting that she should never leave the protection that the walls of the White House provide?

I'm saying that...if a fish stinks from the head down...than a country should sacrifice from the head down, as well.
Obama's sequester is making the country cut back on extravagances...yet he continues to indulge himself and his family at taxpayer expense.

I hate to give away any spoilers, but.... You know those secret service agents that went to Mexico with Malia? They are salaried employees. They get paid whether they are in Mexico protecting the first daughter or sitting in the White House break room sipping coffee and eating doughnuts. So, It's really disingenuous to say that Malia's trip cost $115,000 when that money was already spent.

I'm just pointing out hypocrisy.

It's a hobby of mine. I couldn't care less how many days Bush was on vacation...and I don't care how many days Obama ( or his daughters) are on vacation.

People are honestly upset over two girls going on vacation...it's just bitterness and jealousy. People don't like their own lives...so they need to find something to complain about.

I think I accidentally hit reply to you..I wasn't really directing my comment at anyone..I was just pointing out how tragedy of numbers..100s/1000's when the average american holiday is what..2 weeks to zip..most people don't get vacation time..at least not paid..and the ones that do rarely take it..

Remember..vacation time for americans was a pretty hot topic a few years back. I was just thinking about that...

My yearly salary is a little more than Obama's, and I can't afford to send my two kids and 25 of their friends to a luxury resort in Mexico or Nassau for Spring Break. ..but, then, I can't have the US taxpayers pick up the bill for my kids.

You are freaking kidding right? This administration has passed the TWO LARGEST TAX HIKES in the HISTORY of the US!

I would love to see proof of that....besides Limbaugh I mean...because that is where this came from.

For a liberal you are either confused or just plain stupid! What part of "Equal under the law" do you not comprehend? Does putting a 50% tax burden on one group and a 0% tax burden on another group sound equal to you?

We have had a progressive tax rate for a long time...did you just notice? I'm fine with it...because those with more can afford to pay more (hint...I'm sure I pay more in taxes than most people make...i'm fine with it).

Finally, do you know WHO demanded the sequester? Your Messiah did!

Who voted for the sequester??? That's right...both parties did.

But what is this...more hypocrisy...you and other right wingers cry about spending cuts...but then cry when spending gets cut...because it cuts the military.

Hey, it's a perk of the job. Don't like, write your congressman; outlaw such perks. Perhaps the two of you could sit down and share some sour grapes.

Stop being so obtuse! He's not spending his wealth - he's spending MY money - Tax-payer's money!

Hey...it's my tax money too...and I'd rather have him use it on vacation than bombing brown skinned people.

The things that you get outraged about are hilarious.

Really, is airfare, hotel, food and drink all a part of their salary? Is the armored limo that needs to be flown down part of their salary? How about all of the logistical support... also a part of their salary?

Ok, so now I have narrowed down your problem. You just think the POTUS and his family should become reclusive for the entirety of the Presidential term(s). They should never travel anywhere because, well....because travel costs money.

We'll simply have to agree to disagree on this one.

1.) It's called GOOGLE - get familiar with it!

2.) Anything "Progressive" means that it is bad for everyone other than the government!

3.) I wish the sequester was 20 times as big!

Why is so hard for your to judge a man by his words AND his actions?

Do you deny that what he says is the opposite of his actions?

I voted for him twice...and I voted for him the second time because he did exactly what he said he would in his first term.

The fact that you and other Right Wingers are pissed off at him is just proof to me that he is keeping to his word and doing a good job.

The day Right Wingers start praising Obama is the day I probably start being angry at him....think about that for a second.

I'm neither bitter nor jealous. I happen to love my life

Are you sure about that?

You need to re-evaluate your irrational anger if you are truly content with your life.

And yet you are ranting about it.

You don't make sense.

Hey, if you're fine with it, then you should take up a collection from you and your ilk to pay for it!

Ha! I was just thinking the same thing!

Maybe the IRS can include a Presidential Vacation Fund Contribution to the 1040.

- Check here if you want to contribute $100 so your prez or his/her family can vacation in places most Americans can't afford.
