so yesterday im at the barber getting a cut, and and 3 barbers and 2 customers start talking about Obama. Well must of it was so-so/good opinions about him. One of the customers and another barber both started talking about these damn extravagant vacations that Obama and his family have been taking for the past month or what have you. I was shocked to hear this because I hardly if ever hear black people criticize Obama, but they were pointing out that as much as they disliked Bush, when he went on vacation majority of the time he went to his ranch or you might see him golfing. Basically that in this economic times that its not a good look for Obama too be taking these nice vacations

what says you

    do what clinton did. take polls on where the public thinks he should go. most will say keep it in the US and thats where it should be, parks and ? .

    and the obamas i think do pay for their trips (their own money and obamas president paycheck) but their security is paid from taxes.

    lmfao.


    in reality, there's nothing wrong with taking vacations to europe, but perception-wise, it's bad news. obama should ease off this unnecessary distraction and stay in the US for his vacations.
