Trump: "Obama's Constantly on Vacation"

In his inimitable style The Donald tells it like it is with respect to our part-time president who seldom interrupts his endless vacations to deal with the economic crisis he himself did so much to create.

Obama - 70 all or partial days off since taking office
Bush at the same point - 225
Wrong:
Obama after the 10 day Martha's Vineyard will be 71.
Bush was 180.
Clinton was 23.

BTW, I assume you mean "incompetent" and not "incompetant".

"Incompetent" is the spelling in Webster's. The Urban Dictionary has a spelling of "incompetant", but I'm sure the definition is not what you meant.

Bush vacationed, ie worked at his zero rent (since he owned it) rural Crawford, TX ranch house. Nothing elite or opulent about it. Housing was cheap for the massive entourage of aides, communications specialists, and Secret Service Details.

Obama's is vacationing ie working at a rents for $35,000-$50,000 a week palatial waterfront estate on elite Martha's Vineyard, a haven for the rich and famous. Housing is exponentially more expensive than Crawford for the massive entourage of aides, communications specialists, and Secret Service details. Plus everything has to be flown in (like armored SUV convoys) has to be flown in or brought in by boat. Plus the Coast Guard has to keep several ships off the coast of the property.

The biggest factor in terms of appearance to the masses probably isn't how many days a President "vacations" but where he vacations at. In this regard, esp with the current dismal economic situation, Obama is done deaf. I'm surprise his advisers didn't suggest somewhere less opulent.

(USA Today) — President Obama has headlined 127 fundraising events for himself and others, significantly outpacing the fundraising activity of the previous five presidents during their first terms, new research obtained by USA TODAY shows.

By comparison, President George W. Bush had held 88 fundraisers and President Clinton, 76, at this point in their first terms, according to data compiled by Brendan Doherty, an assistant professor of politicial science at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. Doherty, who also studies presidential activity with the non-partisan White House Transition Project, examined fundraising going back to President Carter.

-They just don't get it or they don't care.

At lease Bo the dog wasn't flown separately like last year.

(WHD) — Michelle Obama and President Obama traveled to Martha’s Vineyard just hours apart, costing taxpayers thousands in additional expenses so she could have just a bit of extra vacation time.

Mrs. Obama and her daughters arrived just before 2 pm Thursday on a U.S. government jet, according to the Martha’s Vineyard Times, which got its information from the local airport. The first lady’s office has been silent on her travel. President Obama arrived in the evening along with the family dog Bo.

The extra costs related to Mrs. Obama’s solo trip mainly include the flight on a specially designed military aircraft she took instead of Air Force One, as well as any extra staff and Secret Service that had to be enlisted to go with her. She would also have had her own motorcade from the airport to her vacation residence.

Mrs. Obama’s separate jet travel sends the wrong message on a host of issues, from global warming to the budget deficit to the economy – in which currently so many people can’t afford to take a vacation at all.

This is not the first time Michelle has gone on vacation ahead of the president on the taxpayers’ tab. Last December, she racked up what was likely more than $100,000 in expenses leaving early for their Hawaii vacation.
