I just heard a wingnut give the stupidest explanation ever for Western European type socialism

3. yeah, they seem to pick up certain stories from somewhere and then they all seem to spread it across

all their networks including social media - The recent story about Obama being constantly on lavish vacations was one example:

Obama is on track to take about a fifth of the vacation days George W. Bush did over his two terms. Obama took 131 vacation days in his first term – which would amount to 262 if he kept that pace in his second term. Bush took a staggering ......1,060 vacation days over eight years, by far the most vacation in history (he also took the longest single presidential vacation in the modern era, a full five weeks.) Can someone explain why Obama is supposedly the vacation-hog? Joan Walsh for salon.com
