Look at the separation of revenue and spending in 2007 and 2008, someone must have not been paying attention back then.

You're just jealous because you know if you took a vacation they'd realize they don't really need you and you'd be first on the chopping block the next time they laid people off.

If you knew me you'd realize how ironic that statement is. I enjoy travel, unlike most dumbasses I don't leave extra days every year for my company to steal from me.

Your chart is incorrect. A liberal lie. Surprised? Not at all.

Of course it's a lie. Obama counts a golf day as a work day. And he has had over 218 golf outings (so far), counting just the ones that the public knows about. For security reasons, the most open President ever keeps much of his calendar private.

Unlike the OP, the Obama Golf Counter has real data to support his chart.

In 2010, Obama flew aboard Air Force One 172 times, nearly every other day. Just the cost of flying aboard Air Force One to Obama’s hometown of Chicago reportedly hovers around $180,000 per hour.

Most of these trips were to Democratic fundraisers or to remote golf courses. How does he avoid them being called vacation days? Easy. He just needs to have one meeting or give a short speech and it becomes "official" travel. No need to reimburse the Government. Even last month when he and Michelle took separate planes to California he justified the millions in expenses as not worthy of questions.

Imagine any Federal agency trying to do anything close to that.

Inside observers believe the root of OBama's need to travel is his hatred for the Clintons, who get to travel where they want, with anyone they want, and remain popular across a wide swath of the world. In the final years of Obama's presidency he has become obsessed with them and angry at anyone who infers that his administration is not just as successful.

George Bush spent many days in "The Western White House" so he could get work done without the Washington interruptions. Counters call these "vacation days" when they were anything but that.
