"SNIP..............
Fox bashed the Obama familys vacations since leaving office, including pricey trips to the Four Seasons in Bali and an exclusive country club in Oahu.
Citing travel experts, it said that the level of luxury the Obamas enjoy on their vacations is unprecedented for a modern-day president.
The story quoted Democratic strategist and former Jimmy Carter advisor Pat Caddell, who said these trips are like the lifestyles of the rich and famous, as well as so-called left-wing activists who said they were troubled by Obamas apparent efforts to distance himself from the grassroots of the Democratic party.
FOX included a clip from HBO host John Oliver and Seth Myers on Late Night Monday from February on the presidents vacations. Im not sure hes ever been more out of touch than he is right now, Oliver said.
The Huffington Post weighed in on the article, noting President Trumps expensive golfing trips to his own Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster resorts on 8 of the 23 weekends he has been in office.

Fox is famous for getting Dems that are a little "off" looking. Al Franken compared it to The Harlem Globtrotters versus The Washington Generals. Get a funny looking Dem to throw confetti in their face.

The Obamas are private citizens. They can vacation wherever they goddamn well please, and they don't need anyone's fucking approval. Especially not those wastes of human flesh at Fox "News".

(7,963 posts)It must be REALLY bad, their guy must REALLY SUCK for them to go after a prior president like this. I am hoping they must know something that is scaring them into such desperation. Maybe the fuse just got shorter?

For fucks sake they've been hounding him when he was in office and now they are hounding him when he is out, he can't get any peace from their bullshit and it's pissing me off!

Funny how the Trump regime and their media lackeys will try to take down people who aren't even in office in order to try and deflect attention from their own many sins.
