Then you must apply the same standards. You're quoting spun news sources. That's what only going only 2 or 3 Google news results deep gets ya.
If staying at the White House and playing golf all day is not considered a vacation day for Obama, then Bush working/having meetings at Camp David or his Ranch should not be considered vacation days for him. If you count the 'trips' then you can achieve a fewer tally for Obama, but if you count the scheduled activities that's not the case, O's been off the clock a lot more.
Also it should be pointed out that shortly after a crisis, Bush gave up golfing for the remainder of his Presidency, because it set a bad tone for the President to be wasting time while there where major problems. Whether you like the guy or not, Obama would do far better to follow the same work ethic - heck any example of genuine self-sacrifice would be really nice to see from O.
As far as Obama taking more vacation than Bush, please stop, you're embarrassing yourself. A vacation day is a vacation day, and comparing Obama to Bush in this regard is ridiculous. 1020 days. That's how many days Bush took. About a third of his presidency.
Really, the things you people forget. It's amazing.
Actually it was his own campaign that tried to convince us of that.
Always doubted that O had any "collectivist" witchcraft or "hope/change" magic.
More likely its Steve asking "Don't tax me bro!"
Perhaps Steve will ask him to resign, or at the very least go 180 degrees of his economic policies?
His economic policies are tax cuts for small business and the middle class. The opposite of that is exactly what republicans want: Tax cuts for big business (as well as pretty much full control of the pig's votes) and tax cuts for rich.
Oh but wait, the trickle down effect will help us all! It's all those RICH people that create the jobs!
The comments here are worse than the shit I read on youtube, and there are plenty of imbeciles there.
Wow dude, bitter much? Or are you just a troll hater?
He's not trolling, jackass, he's speaking the truth! Obama and every other presidential candidate after him now has to whore themselves out to large corporations to compete for campaign donation.
Literally, Exxon could give the next republican candidate a billion dollars, and we would never know. We might get some inclination when we are bombarded with misinformation and lies everywhere we look, but we'll never know who donated.
Isn't that decision GREAT? So who are you voting for in 2016? The senator from Wal-Mart, or perhaps the congressman from BP?
Democrats are in deep trouble (No fan of republicans either, but facts are facts).
The President needs some way of supporting his candidates. Steve said the 51B was for "Strategic moves", and I can't think of anything more strategic than having PotUS owe you a favor.
So from now on every model of Government Motors will be made in China
That's new! GM has never built a car in china after all.
You're talking about a company who's the number one foreign auto maker in China, has been there long before Obama, and saw their sales over there rise 64% in 2009...
Run, Steve, run. You've earned your money and lots of it. And that's not fair. Obama wants it. He's going to ask nicely before he attempts to tear it out of your hands. Just like the government is doing to the rest of us producers.
Dude, you do realize that he's had far fewer vacation days than GWBush?
Plus, I know you'd think meeting SJ would be considered a vacation, but this is work for the Pres.
Whoa. That is simply not true, unless ur comparing the entire 8 years of Bush to the 2 of Obama. Of course, you also fail to mention the vast number of days our president has played golf compared to the former. In that comparison, Obama has played more golf in two years than Bush did in 8.
I do agree that meeting SJ doesn't qualify as vacation. It's actually a good move for Obama. Maybe this meeting is the start of his campaign to bring back jobs.
Actually it was his own campaign that tried to convince us of that.

You quite obviously know less about Steve Jobs' political leanings than you do about the economic policies of the current administration (and the last one's as well).

You are incorrect in every statement you made including the joke about W's non-golf time. That was demonstrated repeatedly to be just another Big Lie like WMD.
If this is your attempt at humor or political philosophy it fails on both counts.
I frankly have never read anything like this on any tech blog.
Tasteless and crude.
If you think this is bad you should read the comments over on Endgadget under the thread about the new Macbook Air. You would think Steve is making these things out of baby seals, using child labor to build them and charging prices never before seen on a thin a lite notebook. The personal attacks were so bad I re-read the article thinking it must have been a Ford Vs. Chevy article.

Don't fool yourself. This meeting is all about convincing Steve/Apple to give money to the Democrats.
Since our senile supreme court has opened the floodgate, Apple can give as much as it wants to special interest groups.
And they don't even have to report it.

How about they find a mutually agreeable way to get a bit more tax revenue from Google?
http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-1...loopholes.html
Apparently Google is joined in this legal tax scam by MS and others. Sickening.
once they shake hands, Jobs is cursed. it will be the Obama death touch. Time to sell my stock.
Jobs will be dead in a year.

Best news when two great minds meet.
But what does this have to do with the story?
Spot-on.
Spot-on stupid.
Can you blame him? Now that corporations can give unlimited amounts of money to any candidate of their choice?
I think you are referring to political advertising, not to campaign contributions.
Man oh man, would I love to be a fly on that wall.
lol !!

For those that aren't convinced of Obamas intentions just look at how the U.S.A. is looked upon by other countries.
this is what happens when u announce $51b in cash is available around campaign time.
