Tell me how many Americans get to take multiple vacations throughout the year ?
TELL ME ?
HOW MANY?
When most people don't have jobs or work part time.
I didn't get any vacation this year. Couldn't afford it.
If my kids hamster needs to go on vacation with us, I will be forced to haul it along with us in the car, since we don't have a V-22 Osprey handy to fetch it for us.
That sounds tough. You still have weekends and holidays, right? Like imagine if you were always at your job 24/7 like the president and everything you did was publicly scrutinized for eight straight years. Wow, I couldn't handle that! Thank god we have person like Obama who is willing to sacrifice his life as a human for us.edit on 12-8-2013 by TsukiLunar because: (no reason given)

Nice if that were true.
I am the number two man at the company that I work for and am on call 24-7.
So your are as busy and as overworked as the president (THE GUY WHO IS THE LEADER OF ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL NATIONS IN THE EXISTENCE OF MANKIND) and you still can't afford a vacation?
Maybe its time to rethink your life decisions, not the presidents.
Actually no he is not allowed time off. I dont get any time off, why should he? I work over 40 hours a week, I work double shifts, I work over time, I work 6 days a week.
I DO get paid time off. I DO get sick leave, medical leave, and I have benefits coming out of my ears.
I pay child support. LOTS of child support.
There is a reason that I am barely scraping by, and it has everything to do with Government.

So no one is allowed to have a vacation because you can't have one?
Get a better job and stop trying to spread your misery on everyone.
I don't know, am I as busy and overworked as the President?
Do I have someone to take care of my 8 and 10 year old children (I am a single father).
I know that I don't have time for GOLFING. The President seems to have time for it.
Maybe it is time for that arrogant President of ours to rethink how he brings his dog on vacation with him.

You're a liar as your statements above directly contradict one another.
You shouldn't have had a kid if you can't handle child support.
No, it's your fault, you produced a child. You KNEW child support was a possibility.
No baby = no child support.
Maybe the dog just "Caught a ride"? You don't know, it doesnt give a reason.
As busy as the president yet you can't afford a babysitter? Tsk, tsk, tsk life decisions.
I'll bet you can rack up quite the post count on an internet forum though. That you have time for.
You really don't pay attention to the real world do you? Many CEO's and other manager positions get multiple vacations per year many companies give more vacation time based on length of employment.

Why does an employer have to pay for your vacation?
Employers pay for work, not for you to take a vacation.
Wrong many companies give paid vacations. If a company doesn't give their employee a paid vacation then they are some cheap SOB's.

Please, download Firefox and use it's built in spell check function. Now, on to the meat of your little post. For starters, do you know how many people are unemployed in the United States? How many live on government hand-outs? You should, you're a member here.
And what exactly, has Obama done to warrant this time off? Nothing. Last time I checked, our economy was still going down the drain, our deficit? How about "toughing it out" (which I would call doing your job for any other president) and do some damn work?
If Obama was a diligent president, doing his job, I would warmly welcome him taking time off. It's like vacation inception, his whole presidency has been a vacation which he now is taking another vacation from.
Were you Obama haters as upset about all the vacations Bush II took? As far as I know he has the record for vacation time.
