Way back when President's vacations didn't matter

This post is specifically for a person who doesn't think the Obamas should be spending their Christmas vacation in Hawaii and that they already take too many vacations. Of course, that person never said a word about vacations or the costs when the Bushs were in office.
President George W. Bush spent even more time away from the presidential mansion in the nation’s capital than Reagan. Of the 77 total "vacation" trips the former president made to his Texas ranch while in office, nine of them — all or part of 69 days — came during his first year as president in 2001, according to Knoller.
Seventy-seven trips? That's almost 10 times a year flying his stupid ass to Texas. And, that doesn't even include the 487 days the Gump family spent at Camp David..

These pathetic teabagging wingnuts have a problem with presidents taking a vacation although they didn't have a problem until about four years ago. The three most 'vacationing' presidents; George W. Bush, Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. But of course, I realize it's different now; those other presidents were white.
