First lady's Aspen trip marks 16th vacation in 3 years for Obama family

Over the past three years, the president, first lady and their daughters Sasha and Malia have vacationed in Europe and Africa, and in various vacation hotspots around the U.S.

The family has spent every Christmas since taking office in Obama's native Hawaii.

It's not what you can do to your country,
It's what your country can due for you.

I wonder how many times...they went to Hawaii?
On their own dime for xmas, before being elected?

Fact:
George W. Boosh's first year in office set the all-time record for most days on vacation by any president in U.S. history.

And that was in his first year! You know, when he's still supposed to be excited about his new job!
Had 9/11 not taken place and forced him to go to work, he would have been the most absent president in American history.

US pupp... presidents have little to no power. Might as well enjoy the privileges and have a good time, because there's not much else they can actually do.

Instead he freed a country's citizens and made it possible for the first time for them to vote for their leader.......................

First time?
You may want to brush up on your history a wee bit, Rugg.

Prior to Hussein's overthrow of the government Iraq was a constitutional monarchy, with a bicameral legislature consisting of an elected House of Representatives and an appointed Senate. The lower house was elected every four years.

They did it the exact same way that American Republicans still do it today.
They held a series of round-robin elephant races to weed out all the really smart candidates and the ones who didn't have enough money to properly feed their elephant.
Once all the really smart ones and poor ones were cast aside, the two remaining candidates held a contest to see which one's Dung Beetle could roll up the largest pile of shit.
Once it was determined which candidate had the largest pile of rolled up shit, that candidate was given a mandate, by a small percentage of the people, to become the official party nominee for the position of Monarch.
Upon being nominated, that last remaining candidate was often given the honorary title of "Puppet Figurehead of Big Oil Concerns".


(you could have just looked this shit up yourself, ya know. ever heard of something called Google?)
