    No, a million dollar weekend at taxpayer expense while his wife takes another tax payer funded ski weekend in the midst of the WORST ECONOMY SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION!Too bad Barry and Michelle couldn't both agree to go to the same location and economize like the majority of taxpayers are forced to do, assuming that the taxpayes were fortunate enough to have a job and afford some sort of vacation to begin with. What's the deal....why are we still paying for Reggie?

    It's impossible that we are in the midst of the WORST ECONOMY SINCE THE GREAT DEPRESSION!

    There is not a Republican in the White House.

    Well, I hope he shot under par after paying the top teaching pro in the country $1000 an hour for an 8 hour lesson.

    What kind of insight could this guy provide that is worth $1000 an hour. Oy vey.

    Thanks to the Stimulus, he pulled us out of Bush's recession in a mere 6 months.

    Say thank you.

    Lest one be accused of hypocrisy...
    Likewise, if one complained about the prior President's vacation, one should also complain about the current President's....

    I can't wait until we get a Republican president, just to see who complains about vs. defends things like this.

    It goes in circles all the time. Repubs won't care and Libs will cry foul.

    I'm gonna call a radio station (98 Rock, WTMD) and ask them to play Lou Reed's WALK ON THE WILD SIDE and dedicate it to my buddies, Hussein & Reggie, who are not afraid to show their once-forbidden love to the world.

    Must have been the $ he sent to the failed green energy Solyndra, and A123 Systems
    as well as the assistance to Fisker to build a factory in Finland. With adjusted unemployment in the 10% range and an even higher unemployment rate in minority community, we are still in a recession. The only thing Obama pulled was the wool over your eyes.

    Vice President Joe Biden and his family, according to the White House, will be in Colorado this weekend on vacation."

    The Bush family typically vacationed "together" at the Texas ranch, Camp David or the Bush compound in Kennebunkport, thereby saving taxpayers inordinate transportation and lodging expenses. Taking a vacation is not the issue....taking exhorbitant vacations at taxpayer expense is......especially in the midst of the "worst economy since the Great Depression".
