…is bad? Don’t a lot of Americans travel to Hawaii because it’s not as expensive as traveling abroad? And didn’t Bush break records for taking the most vacations–even during the most inappropriate times? Why is everything that Obama does scrutinized (that don’t have to do with important issues), while these same people never said anything about Bushes abuses?
They’ll try to find anything to put Obama down!
Lately it was his ‘pecs/man boobs and lack of chest hair’ … now it’s his holiday destination … next they’ll probably complain that he doesn’t buy his underpants at Wal-Mart like Joe the Plumber!
They’ll complain about Obama no matter what he does.

Aren’t whiny libs promoting class warfare when they say Bush shouldn’t be spending time at his (own) Texas ranch?

You didn’t mention who you think Obama had to blow to get use of the multimillion dollar houses in Hawaii.

i love how liberals defend everything obama does like he’s their god.

It’s okay for Bush to vacate office for a third of his term,because he’s a republican, but woe be it if a democrat needs to rest up a bit before cleaning up Bush’s mess.

Obama considers working people as trash.
Is that class warfare?

We’re only giving Obama the same gentle treatment Bush received. Sucks, don’t it?

With him saying the economic situation rivals the Great Depression. Barry shouldn’t even BE vacationing. Or getting a dog or spending $30,000 on a ring. He should be working, or at least seen to be working, 24/7 fixing this economy. If he’s got time to tan in Hawaii, then he must not think things are as bad as he says.

Yes, they are trying to play on class warfare. The usual childish thing that both sides do, ie "you said it was right/wrong back when you/me did it"

What liberals want to believe is that Obama actually paid for this trip on his own dime. Talk about naive.

Because they have nothing else. And they will moan, complain and accuse until they are blue in the face.
BTW, I love all the intelligent responses here. When all else fails, say something stupid. ROFL.

It’s pretty damn expensive to go to Hawaii.

Well, apparently Obama is not doing enough about all the CRAP that Bush left, even though the man is not even inaugurated. Did you catch some of the answers, like the one who said Obama should not even be vacationing? Why not? Bush has been vacationing for the past 8 years after being inaugurated, so really, Obama deserves a bit of paradise before facing the HELL in January.
References :
Because Obama ran as the normal American while criticizing McCain for being wealthy. Now Obama is taking vacations that the normal person can not afford. It is not that he is in Hawaii, it is where he is staying in Hawaii, a couple/few thousand a night rented mansion.

EDIT:
If you say you are a regular American, wouldn’t you stay at a nice hotel not a ridiculously expensive mansion. I have nothing against a vacation, he has been busy, but the mansion, that defies what he claims to stand for.

I believe Bush spent his " Vacations " at his own home and not at a $30,000 whore house.
References :
Im not a liberal and I don’t glorify Obama. but I am glad he will be our president. As far as I am concerned he can vacation anywhere he wants. The neocons are always complaining, but they didn’t complain about their little puppet -bush – now did they.
As far as I am concerned, the neocons are nobodies.
They are also my enemies. Thus I have to keep an eye on them.

Gee, that’s funny. The only pleas I have seen here begging BO to cut down on the inauguration and feed the poor have been from the liberals. And yet, you think his vacation in Hawaii isn’t just a little too lavish for the times? Come on, even with the required rooms for the secret service and, if it is a working vacation, the transition team, a little less extravagance would have gone a long way in public opinion.

do you call a vacation going to your home or giving the secret service agents a christmas in hawaii away from their families on christmas …obama needs to conserve just like the rest do ..we cant help if the hut he was born in didn’t have cold chicago winters

Barack Obama isn’t even president yet and he can’t vacation without hypocrites whining since they can’t find anything else to whine about.

No. Now that I have answered your question a little observation…first of all, your saying "neocons" as a derogatory remark, would that make you a "neolib"? and could you tell me how great of a vacation spot Crawford Texas is? Could it be that the press seems to enjoy Hawaii, versus Podunk Texas?

In Hawaii again, and hes just like us??.lol

Who is saying that? He isn’t president so let him go on vacation. Who cares!!!!!!!!!!!

lol…the Dem’s are up bushes butt ho for every little thing. and

god and savior Obama.

What the hell are you smoking? Bush quit playing golf with his DAD because of the BS and grief he got over it from the bubble headed bleach blonde’s in the media. When Bush did take vacations, they were working vacations.
What has a lot of people are pissed over is the fact that, while telling us that we have to sacrifice, His Highness is on a 30 million dollar vacation And you’re a little confused.The right wants everyone to succeed. The left promotes class warfare to garner votes from ignorant people Once again… HYPOCRITES . And the moniker fits ya.

OMG! Someone is complaining about your Lord & Master???? Stop the presses! How dare they!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously…you really need to get over your case of Obama worship! He’s the President-Elect…so of course his actions will be scrutinized! Quit acting like a brainless twit. Oh wait…your a Liberal.
Never mind then. You can’t help yourself!
And in case you hadn’t noticed, that’s all you Liberals DO on this site. Bush bash, Palin bash, Cheney bash, Republican bash. So get over it.
By the time The Messiah gets done with us…no one will be able to afford to travel to Mexico…let alone Hawaii!
