I regret every vote that was cast for him. Easily the worst President in my lifetime and I'm old as dirt so that includes Jimmy Carter and LBJ.

So this thread just outs the 8-10 idiots who voted for Obama?

Well ... the honest ones at least.
These days there are a lot of people who voted for Obama who are not admitting it. It's funny really.

So you would have him pretend to look busy while actually being on vacation? That'd end well.
Or just not vacation at all? Or cut every vacation short when someone acts a fool? Even though these are very much working vacations?
I just want him to have 15 days vacation like the rest of us after being there for 5 years. He gets like a week off every month it seems.

I "wasted" my vote on Gary Johnson.

I realize at this point that he really doesn't care about how things are going in the world. He honestly seems like he's tired of being president, aside from running up 30m bills taking the fam to Spain for a month, or to Hawaii, or going to Martha's Vineyard for a 3 week getaway.
Joe Biden might spend more time in the Oval than Barack does, which is a scary thought. I imagine the briefings in the VP office take place with a bottle of bourbon and 5 minute breaks every half-hour to piss and have one of those ring girls from boxing walk around the room to announce the next round of the meeting. Ol' Joe slaps one on the arse and mumbles something sexist or racist while she giggles and scurries away.

i've voted for very few democrats in my life, but i don't think i would have regretted voted for him first go round. I did not vote for him, but McCain was the worst presidential candidate i've had an opportunity to vote for, nonetheless maybe in my life.
I don't think Bush was a saint or great president by any stretch (i'd argue that he was half decent to good at times at best) but he was so polarizing at the time, that there was no way a republican was getting back in.
I voted with confidence on Romney. Wasn't the greatest choice in the world, but i don't regret it at all and think that we'd be better off today with him as president.
while i have some fundamental differences that i'd just never agree with President Obama on, I do think he's just trying to do best by his personal view of the world. I don't like it, but I don't find him to be the evil that republicans want to make him out to be.
I fault him more for keeping V Jarrett and E Holder around than anything else. Terrible people. That and the fact that he did nothing for race relations.

I don't regret voting for President Barack Obama. I was very aware that the president doesn't run anything and that all of the sudden things in my country would get any better for my race. So yes I voted for him purely based on him being African American. In America money talks and bs walks. Skin color doesn't matter in the end. Again mt and bs walks. The recession would have happened regardless. Gitmo would have been a shite show regardless. In the end it comes down to the haves and the have nots. So you stay in school and get a degree or be a sidewalk like me and work real hard and see to it that your child has the resources to go to college and maybe live a better life than me, which he will hopefully. God Bless America and MIZ-ZOU.

I have a problem with any President taking any vacations. You're the leader of the largest military and economy in the world. There's enough stuff to work on day and night nonstop. You hold the job for 4 years, 8 tops. Then you're set for life.
I think a President should dedicate that time in office fully to serving the country. Vacation when you leave office. Suck it up and get to work. That's what I would do if I were President

I voted for him. Don't regret it at all. As I've said many times, he will go down as a middle of the road President who had to deal w/ an intractable congress.

I voted for him in 2012. (Wasn't old enough to vote in 2008.) I wouldn't say I regret voting for him, because I really wasn't sold on Romney. But I am disappointed in the job he's done.
I don't care about his vacation. This job is 24/7. It's not like he turned off being the president for a few weeks.

Step outside the 24 hr news cycle w/ me for just a sec: thirty years from now, what will Obama's legacy be? The ACA, Dodd-Frank, two or three SCOTUS justices, withdrawal from Iraq, the stimulus package, killing UBL, repeal of DADT, and maybe one or two other things. For his Presidency to be viewed as anything less than middle of the road, one of these things is going to have to fail spectacularly or there has to be some other event that you think will still be remembered far off in the future that will tarnish his presidency.
Things in Iraq could get so bad that it could have an effect or the IRS scandal could expand and come to the forefront again, but as of right now he's been mostly average.
BTW, Presidents work while they're on vacation, guys.

Honestly, if Obama wasnt black, he never would have gotten out of the primaries. Hilary would have kicked his arse to get the democratic nomination. Personally I do not think she would have won the National Election as she is still a devisive character.
Obama got about 98% of the black vote just because he was black and the population saw this as an opportunity to gain perception of racial equality in America.
Unfortunately, reality has set in. He's a great speaker, a shitty leader and his economic and international policies are fricking up this country worse, not making it better.
So, I have to imagine many who voted for him thinking they would profit from it, are disappointed it hasnt worked out that way.
"Yes we can!" turned out to be "No I cant".
