Has Obama eclipsed that awesome vacation record that W set? Did you rage at W?
My understanding is that all of Obama's vacations are paid from his own money, as was Bush's I assume. Granted, the President's salary is paid by taxpayers, but until Congress decides to reduce their own salaries and the President's, it is their money to do with as they please.
Speaking of which, several Congress members have said they are in favor of decreasing their salaries...but they just so happened to fail to vote on it before the deadline, and now they "can't do it." The fuckers (including the President) could make a donation to the treasury if they are seriously worried that they are being paid too much, but it's clear that none of them are actually willing to give up their money. They're too busy playing golf with Tiger, Tiger Woods, y'all.
