"SNIP..............


Fox bashed the Obama family’s vacations since leaving office, including pricey trips to the Four Seasons in Bali and an exclusive country club in Oahu.

Citing “travel experts,” it said that “the level of luxury the Obamas enjoy on their vacations is unprecedented for a modern-day president.”

The story quoted Democratic strategist and former Jimmy Carter advisor Pat Caddell, who said “these trips are like the lifestyles of the rich and famous,” as well as so-called “left-wing activists” who said they were troubled by Obama’s apparent efforts to distance himself from the grassroots of the Democratic party.

FOX included a clip from HBO host John Oliver and Seth Myers on Late Night Monday from February on the president’s vacations. “I’m not sure he’s ever been more out of touch than he is right now,” Oliver said.

The Huffington Post weighed in on the article, noting President Trump’s expensive golfing trips to his own Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster resorts on 8 of the 23 weekends he has been in office.

1. The right wing is going to hound the Obamas into the grave lest the GOP base have a moment

to enjoy and connect to african americans anywhere at any time. The Southern Strategy has never been more important to the powers that be in the GOP.

2. They spent 8 long years

Giving up everything. They are private citizens now and if they are taking time to really enjoy themselves then more power to them.

It isn't anyone's business.

6. And it won't be long before the girls leave the nest.

They have every right to enjoy themselves.

3. FuckFox

4. Pat Caddell is following the money

these days.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

28. Rasputin has been doing that for a good 15 years.

He's been a Fox flunky for as long as I can remember.

Fox is famous for getting Dems that are a little "off" looking. Al Franken compared it to The Harlem Globtrotters versus The Washington Generals. Get a funny looking Dem to throw confetti in their face.

5. But Trump is great because he has a great plane and great resorts.

[appleannie1943]

7. They are paying for their own vacations and it is no one else's business. Besides, if they went to

a simple campground or family resort, they would be hounded by people wanting to shake their hand or get autographs and pictures with them.

27. more likely

To beg him to find or invent a constitutional loophole that says that in case of election fraud the current sitting President shall serve another term or until a fair election can be held. and to get his ass back to the white house to serve an eviction notice on the traitor currently occupying it.

[Dulcinea]

39. They need something to distract their viewers from the disaster that is Trump.

Barack Obama isn't President anymore. (More's the pity.)

The Obamas are private citizens now. Where they go & what they do is no one's business.

8. They never said anything about W's vacations after leaving office, but then he couldn't leave the...

country as someone might have extraodinarily renditioned him to The Hague for war crmies, same with Cheney.

Hahahahahahahahaha!

[gratuitous]

21. That's it - jealousy

President Obama and his family are free to go anywhere in the world, unlike so many of those who "served" in the previous administration.

[Doodley]

29. Is W black?

[brush]

43. Exactly.

[Coventina]

9. More Obama derangement syndrome.

When we have a modern Louis XIV currently in office.

[GoCubsGo]

10. Fox So-called News can go fuck themselves.

The Obamas are private citizens. They can vacation wherever they goddamn well please, and they don't need anyone's fucking approval. Especially not those wastes of human flesh at Fox "News".

[smirkymonkey]

13. +1000

It's nobody's business what the Obamas do now that they are private citizens. Why do they even care? God, FFS, can these people just let this hate go?

[Takket]

[AgadorSparticus]

19. What a cheap, uncreative distraction as only fux news can do.

It must be REALLY bad, their guy must REALLY SUCK for them to go after a prior president like this. I am hoping they must know something that is scaring them into such desperation. Maybe the fuse just got shorter?

[nolabear]

25. The only thing that keeps them going is creating enemies. They feed off of it.

The entire party, and the little man in particular, would be nothing without monsters and boogymen.

[lunasun]

26. I saw the Fox article on Googlenews . Sick

They can't let go of Obama just like trump

[ZM90]

30. For fucks sake they need to leave the Obamas alone.

Seriously he is out of office and they are private citizens now. Since when is it any of their business how a private citizen spends his money? For fucks sake they've been hounding him when he was in office and now they are hounding him when he is out, he can't get any peace from their bullshit and it's pissing me off!

[JHan]

31. desperation from faux news.

[Beartracks]

32. And OMG have you heard about Hillary's email server?

Obvious deflection tactic is obvious.

Funny how the Trump regime and their media lackeys will try to take down people who aren't even in office in order to try and deflect attention from their own many sins.

[Vinca]

38. So a private citizen who happens to be wealthy is taking vacations. Where's the scandal????

[nikibatts]

40. More Obama envy. Good. I hope a lot of folks can't sleep knowing they are enjoying their lives.

[nikibatts]

41. Trump takes a vacation every week-end. And it costs taxpayers much more than anything Obama does.

Haven't heard or seen any complaints from FOX on that.

[ConnorMarc]

42. The hatred of Republicans

Is palpable.
