Palin thinks Obama 'tone deaf'



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

CNN reports that Palin thinks Obama is 'tone deaf' for going on holiday.

CBS's Mark Knoller demonstrates a technique CNN might care to learn called 'journalism'. Knoller has been keeping records of Presidential vacations for many years now:

So far, President Obama has taken 61 vacation days after 31 months in office. At this point in their presidencies, George W. Bush had spent 180 days at his ranch where his staff often joined him for meetings. And Ronald Reagan had taken 112 vacation days at his ranch.

Among recent presidents, Bill Clinton took the least time off -- 28 days.
If a statement made by a politician is important enough to make it into a headline it is important enough to fact check and compare against previous presidents.
