One is the first lady spending an insignificant amount of money to vacation, and the other is the POTUS chillaxin for 80% of his presidency.
Sorry you're more concerned about the "8" digits.
I loved Bush's vacationing to his ranch. It didn't cost the taxpayer much, and if he was working on some damn fence, it meant he wasn't f-ing up the country. Barack should go on vacation to Illinois for the rest of his term.
I disagree. He did, but it was all about foreign policy, not the economy. Bush tried to paint those who opposed him as unpatriotic, IMO.
