Actually most of Bush's vacations were to Camp David or his ranch. If anywhere else it may have also been the Bush family retreat in Maine. All of these locations were already set up for security and none cost anywhere the level of Michelle's comforting a friend over a loss of a loved one.
If you want to get down to it, Obama has W beat in the vacations and cost categories. And LG, you can harp all you want and be the Obama apologist but it shows just how pathetic Obama is to 1)pretend like he is the 'common man' who relates to us 2)tell us to go to the Gulf when he himself waits until the 'all clear sign' is sounded to go himself and 3)while people are suffering because of hard times, job loss, home loss, etc. he chooses to go jetsetting with Hollywood and big global names on weekly vacations most people couldn't even dream of. So while you still pine for the W days in criticisms we can really look at just how smart the gifted one really is on making such stupid choices that demean his own image.
