DescriptionMitt Romney said on Thursday that President Barack Obama is partially to blame for a recent scandal over excessive spending at the General Services Administration because he takes "elaborate vacations."

"I think the example starts at the top," Romney told National Review Online in an interview published Friday. "People have to see that the president is not taking elaborate vacations and spending in a way that is inconsistent with the state of the overall economy and the state of the American family."

Lavish spending on GSA conferences predates the Obama administration, with a 100-plus percent increase between the 2006 event and the 2008 event, Politico reported earlier this month.
