hate to say "i told you so"

Just for fun, I was reading about where all of the first families spent their Christmas holidays. I came across this little gem . . . none of it surprises me, especially the good parts:

Here’s a great question that was raised by a comment on our site: where have First Families traditionally spent Christmas?

It’s been noted that both Reagan and George W. Bush spent Christmas at the White House or Camp David, so that the agents protecting them could keep relatively normal schedules and be with their families on the holidays.

The Utopias, of course, are heading to Hawaii for Christmas, at great public expense flying Air Force One thousands of miles away on the taxpayer dime, and renting a $4,000 a night, giant mansion for them to play around in when the White House and Camp David are already bought and paid for by the public.

Their jetting off on an expensive taxpayer funded trip to Hawaii wouldn’t be quite so offensive if his family were actually still there… and since they can drag her family around on our dime too, why not head to Hawaii? It’s cold and dreary in Chicago right now, and not much better in DC. They probably believe that those Secret Service agents are so flattered to be in such an “unprecedented” and “historic” administration that they are glad to be away from their families during the holidays.

Besides, it’s been months since we’ve seen his glistening pecs and her fantastic arms!

What recession, right?

We honestly don’t know what the Clintons, George H. W. Bushes, Carters, Fords, Nixons, Johnsons, Kennedys, Eisenhowers, or Roosevelts did for Christmas, or where they spent it.

It might be a fun research project today and tomorrow to figure this out.

We never knew the Reagans decided to stay at the White House so they wouldn’t inconvenience the staff with a vacation during holidays…but it doesn’t surprise us at all that Reagan was decent and kind enough not to tear moms and dads away from their kids to do their duty when he didn’t need to.

And, frankly, it really doesn’t surprise us the Utopias gleefully abuse every perk afforded them. This is the woman who, after all, has been given everything she ever dreamed of and, yet, still asks “What are you getting me for Christmas? You should feel pressure” on national television.

Hope!

Change!

Me Me Me!


To be fair, I looked up the other Presidents as well. Most of them stayed in DC or Camp David to help their staff members stay close to their families. The Kennedy's the Bushes,the Eisenhowers, the Rooseveldt's the Reagans.

I am just glad that I was able to pull this off of somebody else's website - because I'd be tarred and feathered if I had written it myself.
