Reply #10: what's funny is they were talking about obama taking a vacation and the complaints

[ejpoeta]

on the local news. they do a segment every day with a national person split screen. the local guy at the end asked for a comparison how much vacation time had george w bush taken by this time and the other guy skirted it saying that wasn't a good comparison because he went to his OWN retreat. a better comparison would be with george hw bush because the economy was similar and he went to kennebunkport. not sure why WHERE they went really matters. i think it is because bush took more vacation than anyone else. And they don't want to make that comparison. Obama has generally taken weekends and some time during the summer.
