With unemployment at nearly 10 percent and the economy going down the tubes, President Barack Obama is taking another vacation. Since he has been in office only 18 months, he has taken more than 50 days of vacation. Add the cost of running Air Force One. Obama has taken a "few perks" as president in a short period of time in office. I would hope his focus would be on the economy and jobs. Immigration is a critical issue since it affects both the economy and jobs.
If I were unemployed (I'm retired), I would be very concerned about my leader taking, in my opinion, excessive vacation, rather than handling the country's business at hand. I feel this is a bad example to the taxpayers as well as the unemployed.
