Presidents Get Winter Vacations – We Get Kirk Bado and Ledge King
Over the summer, C-SPAN's podcast "Extreme Mortman" did an episode all about Presidents – and summer vactions.
Now - time for the sequel – Presidents – and winter vacations!
Like the one Barack Obama took – which he previewed during a 2013 press conference – a few days before Christmas:
"So the end of the year is always a good time to reflect and see what can you do better next year. That's how I intend to approach it. I'm sure that I will have even better ideas after a couple days of sleep and sun."
And George W. Bush, on vacation in 2002, New Year's Eve:
"Hi, guys. Happy New Year to everybody. Laura and I wish all our fellow Americans a prosperous and peaceful and a happy new year. We are really happy to be spending New Year here in Crawford, Texas. We'll be having our New Year's hamburger here in a minute."
Just like with presidents and summer vacation, by now you're likely wondering:
• Where do our Presidents go for winter vacation?
• Do they get work done during winter vacation?
• Who pays for the trip?
• And what do political junkies and National Journal veterans Kirk Bado and Ledge King –– say about presidents and winter vacations?
