Romney Strikes at Obama Vacation

By /
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is making jabs at President Obama for choosing to vacation this Christmas in Hawaii.

Excerpt:

He told Congress that they need to stay in session and pass his tax breaks for the payroll tax and that they shouldn’t leave for vacation until they did that. And yet, he’s going off for 17 days and for golf in the sun.

Democrats fired back, noting that Romney was absent 212 days during his last year as Massachusetts governor.
