BHO on 4 million $ Hawaii vacation when go over fiscal cliff

[HI54UNI]

Why don't Presidents ever vacation in places like Cleveland, Detroit, or the back woods of Appalachia? Think of all the help that massive influx of cash could do to help those poor people.

And the Secret Service could get in lots of target practice...with live targets!

Win-win for everyone involved.

Good point. You'd think the community organizer might want to get back to his roots. Get out and help the poor working guy that's getting screwed by the man. Detroit would be a good place for him to start.

Can this go down as "The stupidest thread ever" now..?


Seriously WTF

SH, expando, or JSO have not posted in this thread yet, so no...no it can't.

Newsflash: Hawaii is a U.S. state. Are you seriously trying to suggest that the President shouldn't go there because it costs too much?

I think Obama should not have gone to Hawaii AFTER he was born.

The limousine libs like Obama want nothing to do with the common folk they claim to represent.

I think vacationing in a place like Cleveland would be a politically savvy more for any first term President. Vacationing in a swing state would give a candidate a leg up.

Do any conk Presidents vacation in any of those places? Once again, nice job singling out Obama for doing the same thing every other President does.

See, that's what I was thinking (except for the target practice part).

Republicans could make a lot of headway into reconnecting with people if they decided to stop avoiding the low-wage city work force (or unemployed force), and Dems could expand their base if they reached into the toothless back woods areas.

Stop going to remote, upscale places and become a part of America. Camp in the National parks, stay in the regular parts of small towns and cities. Imagine that.

This is hilariously stupid! Conks are b!tching that Obama is going to Hawaii and Donks are defending him. Donks b!tched when Bush spent weeks in Texas and Conks defended him.

Being POTUS is:
1) a very stressful job and a vacation is a good idea
2) always available and always working to a certain extent. It doesn't matter if Obama is in D.C. or Hawaii, he can be reached and is still working.

Obama has his finger on the nuclear button. He is in the most stressful job. Every decision, even a good one, is hated. He should do anything that allows him to relax and not hear some sore loser complain about it.

Cleveland isn't a swing state.

Thanks for clearing that up.

I'm sure that you get my point though. Everyone always talks about how important Ohio is. If Obama had vacationed in Ohio in 2011 his job may have been easier during the 2012 campaign.

The Obamas are known to frequent Asheville, NC.

Does he stay at Biltmore? It would be an awesome place to live.

Stressful, maybe, but I don't get the feeling that Obama is a particularly hard worker. Nor was GWB before him. Clinton, however, probably was. He was the last President who really got off on policy matters (among other things).

Work hard, play hard, stay hard

They stay at the fancy Inn.

I think it would be cool if Obama went on a wolf hunting trip with Grizza and Wedgie.

[death dealer]

And you objected when Reagan, Bush vacationed?


Sore fucking loser.

You and your idiot friends got rejected. Go away please.

He should be able to vacation in his home state if he wants to do so. It's obscene that it's that expensive, but that's the way it is.

But Jon, you're a hypocrite of the worst kind.

He'd have a good time! Actually, no, that would not be good. I'm not sure I could resist the temptation.

And for the record, I've never actually killed a possum or a skunk. At least not intentionally.
