gftChris Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 For sure, though certain things need to be accounted for - he's not exactly going to be going to coney island, or wherever with the great unwashed, for legitimate security reasons. Wherever he travels he'll need to have certain people with him making any holiday expensive compared to you and me. Also, it's not like he's getting all this stuff for free - it's part of the salary package as president. BTW, I just noticed/remembered - you guys get *zero* statutory holiday days per year? Like, it's perfectly legal for your employer to not give you any vacation *at all* (that's how you do it cleve)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevfan4life Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Please, you basically have a pull cord on your back. Everyone check your watches...10:07am here but i'm comfortable calling it now, Chris won the internet today. Laugh, my, fucking, ass......right the fuck off. Holy shit, had to spell that out cause lmfao just doesn't cut it when it lands that hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevfan4life Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Apparently keeping up isn't your particular strong suit. Let's say if somebody from the far right was attacking a left-wing president for moral values yet the right winger was regularly getting drunk and frequenting houses of ill repute... Which probably happens. (have logic explain the difference for you) WSS Tell you what steve, go find who's house that was he stayed at. Did the dude dodge his taxes, or did he pay his fair share which is the only thing Obama has been saying anyway...not begrudging anyone their wealth. If you find something like that, ok fine we've got something here. But if you don't, than stfu ok thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLD Woody Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 And everyone should be fair game when they are being a hypocritical douche. The president has come out railing against 1% while using tax payer money to pay for extravagant vacations....just like the very people he tried to rally the masses against. It is actually worse because it isn't his money he is spending on all of this. The rich guy pays out of his pocket. The Obamas are doing this on our dime while crowing on about the evil rich folks. What part does the president pay for and what part do the taxpayers pay for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 That sounds familiar. As in, happens a lot? How many stories have we seen of a mayor/pastor/good ol' boy talking anti-gay rhetoric, only to be outed via grindr a month later? Or who cheat on their wife or other things.It's not an uncommon occurrence. My favorite television preacher, Jimmy Swaggart, was once busted with a prostitute. (He's my favorite because of the quality of his theatrics during a sermon) But that was a big deal. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh alright hostile little moron. ~ he can go on whatever vacation he wants, visit palaces and eat in the most expensive and elegant restaurants on the planet with hordes of servants catering to his, his wife's and his children's every whim. After which he can return to the White House and scold rich people for not being sensitive and having too much money. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gftChris Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 No hostile, just annoyed by your act. And you still haven't answered my question... Is your question really just about what portion of the vacation should be paid for by the government? "Since 2001, the president has earned a $400,000 annual salary, along with a $50,000 annual expense account, a $100,000 nontaxable travel account, and $19,000 for entertainment" So, that's his salary and expenses. Outside of that he pays himself. What's not clear? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 He's being a woodypeckerhead again. What a dimwit. The question remains, does woodpecker deliberately miss points of conversations? or does he just not understand the points, and loves to change the subjects of discussions more to his engineering pov? Which often is impossible, I suppose, but he just keeps pecking and pecking and pecking.... and pecking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLD Woody Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 And did I not answer that he can go wherever he wants? WSS The question wasn't where can he go. Thr question was where can he go and still talk about income inequality. What vacation would you be ok with him taking if he were to return and talk about a growing income gap? Or is he just not allowed to talk about that at all because he's well off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Ok, and what portion of his vacation is paid for out of his pocket and what do the tax payers pay for? Depends. If his vacation is in his back yard, that's probably all expensable. If it's 4 months in Bora Bora, probably he's going to pay for that himself a bit. Why does it matter?

Whether that's where he's going, the tax payer's expense, or just the vacation in general. If its about the taxpayer, understanding what we're billed for is important to understand IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
