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.

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.

The Story Behind Presidents' Day

Did you know Presidents' Day isn’t just about a day off?  Originally established to honor George Washington’s birthday, it has since grown to celebrate all U.S. presidents who’ve shaped the country’s path. It’s a day to reflect on leadership, service, and the values that drive national progress. Presidents' Day dates back to 1879, when it was first recognized as a federal holiday for Washington. Later, Abraham Lincoln’s February birthday brought attention. By 1971, the Uniform Monday Holiday Act combined the days, creating the long weekend many know today—but its purpose goes far deeper. From decisions that forged independence to policies steering modern challenges, U.S. presidents have helped shape history. It's a moment to appreciate lessons in courage, responsibility, and the impact of strong leadership on society today. How do you celebrate Presidents' Day?  Is it by learning about the leaders who influenced American history? Do you read their biographies, visit ...

Gary Locke, former White House Secretary of Commerce, has been nominated by the President as U.S. ambassador to China. Locke replaces former Utah governor  Jon Huntsman, who has stepped down to (wait for it) possibly challenge President Obama in the 2012 presidential race.

"Gary has distinguished himself as one of our nation’s most respected and admired public servants.  As our country’s first Chinese-American governor, he worked tirelessly to attract jobs and businesses to Washington State, and he doubled exports to China", said President Obama during this morning's announcement. "He’s been a point person for my National Export Initiative, and last year, Gary’s depa...
