And yet, they still party like rock stars, have glad handing meetings with special interest groups every day, and travel the world.
Nearly everyone in the .gov is tightening their belt right now, except Obama's administration.

I can hear the White House accountants now "Well, cancelling the Blue Angels saved us $38 million for the year, oh, and by the way, Syria just cashed that $750million dollar check we gave them last month!"

Yeah, cut the Blue Angels budget, but Beyonce will still perform for the president. Glad to see Obama suffers with the rest of us.

Don't forget Egypts check!! also don't forget we just gave them 4 more F-16's! We need to keep ours grounded and take away our gun rights, but let's give a muslim terrorist nation that hates the U.S. our best firepower to use against us!

It's entirely possible that a performer...ANY performer...invited to perform at the inauguration of a president...ANY president...might actually consider it an honor and do it gratis?!

But it's a matter of public perception. He asks us to suffer. He asks us to do more with less. He asks us to share our paychecks with those who don't work, or live in Syria, etc. He asks us to pay a little more in taxes so he can give it to the Muslim Brotherhood, but he doesn't seem to do the same. He does not feel our pain. As much of a disapointment that Bush became, he wasn't seen on the golf course (in fact, he gave up golf after 9/11 because of public perception), he wasn't seen on the beaches of Hawaii, he wasn't seen travelling the world vacationing on my tax dollars. He went home to Texas. Obama doesn't go home to Chicago. He seems to rub it our faces that he vacations like the world is coming to an end and spends out hard earned tax money like it's water!

Frank must be working for the new Bush Li-Berry re-writing history.
The Shrub averaged 4 months of vacation time PER YEAR during his 2 terms.
Seriously. If you're going to criticize at least use facts.
Bush spent 1,020 days of his presidency on vacation. To put this into context, John F. Kennedy spent fewer days in office, 1000, than George W. Bush spent on vacation. Bush spent 487 days at Camp David, 490 days at his Crawford ranch, and 43 days in Kennebunkport. George W. Bush spent 69 days in Crawford during his first year in office. In contrast, according to FactCheck.org, Obama spent all, or part of, 26 days of his first year in office on vacation. This was less than all three previous Republican presidents, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush, but more than the two previous Democratic presidents, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.
During Bush’s two terms, the cost of operating Air Force One ranged from $56,800 to $68,000 an hour. Bush used Air Force One 77 times to go to his ranch in Crawford, TX. Using the low end cost of $56,800, Media Matters calculated that each trip to Crawford cost taxpayers $259,687 each time, and $20 million total for Bush’s ranch flights.

Obama used Air Force One 172 times in 2010 alone.
I also don't see how using the actions of a president you hated justifies the actions of a president you support.
You should ask your current "savior" to act better than his predecessors.

If the GOP gives that loser a third time to be a loser, they really will get what they deserve, 12 years of democrat rule.
