The
Republicant propaganda machine is out with another of their tired laments. This time criticizing Pres. O for renewing
his vacation in Hawaii, the vacation he had to cut short because the can't
shoot straight Republicants in the House wouldn't deal with the fiscal cliff.
AAAuuuuuggggghhhhhh
… the FISCAL CLIFF.
Complainer
in chief (surprise, surprise) is Rush Limbaugh, followed by Sean Hannity and
the other Faux News professional Obama criticizers.
"Our
dedicated Commander-in-Chief has returned to his wonderful vacation in
Hawaii," Hannity sighed, "showing us once again that he does not have
your best interests in mind."
Nancy Reagan didn't joined the Republicant propaganda
campaign. She knows better. Here's what she said years ago: "Presidents
never have a day off." She might
know. Her hubby was Ronald, who took
plenty of get out of Washington trips to his California non-working ranch to
ride horses and cut brush.
For the record Obama has had 84 days off since he took office in 2008, George Bush, Jr had 250 days off from January 2001 to August 2003. For comparison, that looks something like this:
Jan
2008 – Jan 2013: Obama 84 vacation days in four years
Jan
2001 – Aug 2003: Bush, Jr 250 vacation days in TWO YEARS EIGHT MONTHS!
I don't recall Limbaugh and Hannity making an
issue of Bush's excessive time off.
Maybe I just missed it.
And speaking of excessive time off -- the Congress has set its agenda for 2013. The do-nothings will be in session only 126 days this year and just 2 days in August. These are the people we pay $174,000 a year, 3.58 times more than the Average American earns. Those Average Americans are lucky to get two weeks' vacation.
