Again, why can Bush fly back and forth between Washington and the Camp David Airport 149 and no threads about wasting money, but Obama is not allowed a night out with his wife?
Bullsh*t thread.

To be perfectly fair, Bush was continually harassed about the smallest of incidents throughout his tenure as President. Personally I don't see a huge deal with Obama going on a date just as I don't see an issue with Bush taking time off to go to a Ranch. I am sure that in both cases they were not out in the middle of nowhere without any connection to the outside world. Past that how many of you have gone on vacation only to bring along some work.... maybe the president isn't that much different.
