Obama Criticizes Congress for Taking Vacation

President Obama returned from a two-week vacation on Martha’s Vineyard on Sunday, but not before criticizing members of Congress for taking their own recess.

During President Obama’s weekly address released on Saturday, the president chastised Congress: “Unfortunately, Congress left town for five full weeks – and they left behind a stack of unfinished business.”

“Congress also hasn’t passed a budget – and when they return from vacation, they’ll only have a few weeks to do so, or shut down the government for the second time in two years. They’ve had all year to do this. Months ago, I put forward a detailed plan to strengthen our economy and our national security in a fiscally responsible way. And for months, I’ve said I will veto any budget that locks in the sequester—those senseless cuts to domestic and national security priorities.”

He's a flippin idiot - it's ok for him to be vacation ALL THE TIME but no one else is supposed to take a break? He's been on vacation since he's been in the white house and it is sickening. 2016 just cannot get here soon enough.

I don't blame him. They got their two weeks. More than many Americans. It used to be that swamp where they built Washington was unbearable in August. They have air conditioning now. Get back to work you lazy bums. I am working. I didn't get two weeks off last year and probably won't this year either.

Obama takes 2 weeks, Congress and Senate take 5 weeks...when I was in school 5 is more than 2. Also, a do nothing Congress and Senate will make any president look like a do nothing president. He can't do it alone folks. I have never in my 66 years seen such ignorance concerning a president until this administration. Check your REAL facts and you will find that Obama is in the same bracket as Bill Clinton as to taking less vacation days than their fellow presidents like Reagan and the Bushes. What really upsets me is that the American people will probably put back in office for 2016 the same do nothing people. American people really need to start blaming the real people for their political problems...themselves.
