What have you done lately?

Republicans:

Since you were elected, you've voted to repeal healthcare, which was a big waste of time since it won't make it past the Senate, and certainly would not make it past the POTUS.

Oh, and now you're pushing a bill that would define which kinds of rape would qualify for an abortion.  So only violent rape can get an abortion, those that are drugged, statutory raped, or most other types of date rape don't qualify?

So my question is, what are you doing to create jobs?  What are you doing to help the economy?  What are you doing for clean energy?  Or maybe I should just ask, what are you doing?

Republicans in Congress want to repeal the Health Care Bill

While simultaneously signing all the paperwork for their government funded health care, newly elected Republicans already have plans to deny their constituents that same (or close) privilege.

Now, whether you support the Health Care Bill, or not, you should watch very closely at what these folks are doing.  You may not see the benefit that the Health Care Bill affords you, your family or maybe just your neighbor, but these Republicans do.  That's why they are busy signing up for their own version of it.

The bottom line, you are expected to pay for their health care, but you are not entitled to any for yourself.  Keep in mind, these folks you elected, you decided they warrant government funded health care coverage more than you do.  These men and women are already well off, most of them lawyers, big business types, etc.  Most of them have health care coverage on their own, or through their pensions.  Yet millions of regular citizens, have nothing.

So lets keep giving more and more to the rich, and take more and more from the poor, seems to be the American way.

Obamas Million Dollar Vacation? Big Deal

So the POTUS took a vacation, it's Christmas.  So it cost over $1 million, he's the President, it's expensive for him to go to the bathroom. (Consider the escort by Secret Service, etc.)  Is he not entitled to a vacation?  Because Air Force One, Secret Service, etc are expensive, should he sit at home for the holidays?  I for one would rather send the Obamas on a million dollar vacation, than spend BILLIONS on a war I don't support.  Those same folks that are okay with the high cost of "spreading democracy" are the same ones that have issues with the Obama family taking a vacation.

You cannot compare the cost of your vacation with is.  You do not have a Secret Service detail.  You do not have White House Aides. You most likely did not have to work while on your vacation.  Our President works everyday, he is the POTUS everyday, Christmas or not.

Now for the perspective....

George Bush, the Second Mistake, took a total of 977 vacation days during his presidency, that's 122 days per year, 33% of his entire presidency.  Still want to compare your vacation to the POTUS?

Many of his 977 vacation days were to his ranch in Crawford, TX.  Do you think he took a cab?  No, he took Air Force One, and so did his dog, Barney.

Now, I could do the research and add up all the costs for you, but considering Mr. Obama has taken 26 days of vacation in his first year compared to Bush taking 69, I think you all are smart enough to figure it out.

Face the facts.  The POTUS flies on Air Force One.  He also has a Secret Service (and sometimes Navy Seals) as an escort.  His family goes on vacation with him.  His aides go as well.  And he takes reporters, which may sound stupid, but if he didn't you'd say he was hiding something.  Get over your self.
