Trump To President Obama: You Take Too Many Vacations

Donald Trump, the real estate mogul, and Presidential bully thought to be running for president in 2012, tweeted that President Obama, planning to vacation on Martha's Vineyard later this month, takes too many vacations.

According to his Twitter account, Trump tweeted:  "He takes more vacations than any human being I've ever seen".

Trump also tweeted on Aug 15
Donald J. Trump


played golf yesterday. Now he heads to a 10 day vacation in Martha's Vineyard. Nice work ethic.
Trump, known for making false claims and outlandish accusations, can include forgetfullness to his repetoire.

He obviously forgot about President Bush's record.   Thanks to the Internet, we can't.

President Bush has spent all or part of 166 days during his presidency at his Crawford, Texas, ranch or en route. Add the time spent at or en route to the presidential retreat of Camp David and at the Bush family estate in Kennebunkport, Maine, and Bush has taken 250 days off as of August 2003. That's 27% of his presidency spent on vacation. Although to be fair, much of this time is classified as a "working vacation."

We also found that his father, George H. Walker Bush, took even more vacations, taking a whopping 543 vacation days at Camp David and in Kennebunkport.  (Source).
Our previous president sets the record for having taken the most vacations, and we all know the economy wasn't doing that great while he was in office, either.

Trump also called presidential candidate, Rick Perry, "impressive". This after Perry made a racially charged comment referring to President Obama as "the black cloud hanging over Washington".


Note:   We wrote this article last week, but somehow it just got posted today..... since the staff was all on vacation.

In wake of the Zika virus, travel, spring break still O.K.

Representatives from the CDC and the NIH were on hand at the White House during Monday's press briefing to update the public and address concerns over the Zika virus that has caused some babies to be born with deformities. Dr. Anne Schuchat from the Centers for Disease Control and Dr. Tony Fauci from the National Institutes of Health told reporters that a vaccine is in the making.   The pair also said they are particulary concerned about women who are pregnant, or plan to get pregnant, who have either traveled to or plan to travel to areas of South America and the Carribean known to have the Zika virus. Despite those bold statements, the doctors said there is no wide-spread concern and that Americans should continue to travel, including during upcoming college spring breaks --  when college students travel to warmer climate destinations to escape winter weather. "Travel to Zika-affected areas is very common among Americans, and we don’t think that needs to stop...
