Celebrity-in-Chief Vacation time yet again

[Justyntym]

Don't get me wrong...I'd RATHER have him on vacation, he can less
damage that way but this is ridiculas (10 day vacation and he'll have had
48 days vacation since he took office). Between that and jetting around for
fundraisers, golf, and photo ops....

Kills me when this arrogant fool doesn't have time for a governer because
he's got a photo-op with a basket ball team or on his way to a fundraiser...


R&R time for Obamas on Martha's Vineyard

VINEYARD HAVEN, Mass. (AP) — Fleeing the heat and headaches of the
capital, President Barack Obama arrived on Martha's Vineyard Thursday for a
10-day vacation - and a chance to rest up for the coming fight for control of
Congress.

Obama landed at the airport on this island off Massachusetts after an Air
Force One flight from Washington to a Coast Guard station on Cape Cod,
then a short helicopter ride across Vineyard Sound.

Arriving under sunny skies, Obama - ditching his tie and jacket - greeted well-
wishers at the airport, then motorcaded to the rented compound he, his wife
Michelle and daughters Malia and Sasha are staying at.

Obama's summer trip will be his ninth vacation since taking office.
By the time his trip to the Vineyard is complete, he'll have spent 48 days on
vacation as president, according to Mark Knoller, a CBS News reporter the
White House recognizes for his record-keeping.

I like vacations. Maybe I should run for president in 5 years.

 

[racerV]

Didn't you stick up for him when all of us were bashing him?

 

[Busanova]

He should take a 365 day per year vacation. And Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi should join him for the festivities.

I'm not an Obama fan by any means. This is the same criticism the democrats had of GW when he was in office, always on vacation. When the President goes on vacation, it isn't like when you or I go on vacation. They are still fully plugged in and functioning.

 

[BigBadDodge]

Yea but we cant afford vacation lol

:bs:

Yeah there is access to whatever crisis may be at hand, baring that...vacation
is vacation.

Ever seen him take a conference call while on a golf course...nope, nada.

BTW....Functioning ???...oh you mean like this...

And Air-Force one doesn't fly for free or the extra Secret Service, etc., etc.
Least he didn't go to Spain...

 

[Blanca BusaLess]

But he works ever so hard !

 

[Rev. 6:5]

He deserves a restful vacation. Last week's vacation looked pretty hectic!

 

[Fastfrog007]

Better watch out GW, your vacation record is gonna fall

Are you serious....he's doing a whole lot more than just veto.
Wake up America...

I think the biggest thing that bothers everyone is how many people are losing their jobs and homes, while he vacations and does nothing to bring jobs back. Our country expected change and hope......not 48 days of vacation and 196 more of playing golf and posing for the camera.

At least he went on vacation to Crawford, TX, instead of jetting off to Spain with 40 of his closest friends.
