President Obama and his family are likely headed to Martha's Vineyard for a summer sojourn again this year.

A source tells POLITICO that the Secret Service has started booking accommodations on the toney island off the Massachusetts coast.

So far, the White House isn't saying anything, but the Vineyard is abuzz with the news. The first family is expected toward the end of August, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Just great..

Spending more money that doesn't need to be spent, meanwhile his own people are claiming that people are losing jobs because there isn't enough money.

Why doesn't he donate the cost of that vacation to keeping teachers and tour staff from getting pink slips.

 

[Black_Label]

So? Obama is amateur hour compared to W.

 

[AmyNation]

Serious question.

IF he did donate "the cost of that vacation", would you honestly say "hey, that's great of him". Or would you say something like "it's just a politcal stunt" or "that's taxpayer money anyway".

For a guy who is so openly anti one-percenter... he sure likes to hobnob with them.



Libs are so funny....

Serious question.

IF he did donate "the cost of that vacation", would you honestly say "hey, that's great of him". Or would you say something like "it's just a politcal stunt" or "that's taxpayer money anyway".

Uhm that's exactly what he'd be doing by not going... you know.... foregoing his like umpteenth lavish vacation while running around telling the peeons that their services are going to be cut.

So? The planning for my vacation to Colorado is ongoing too. What's the beef?

So, if tomorrow he held a press confrence, or sent out a mass email saying he was canceling the vacation and divertig funds to help with the furloughs, would he earn a pat on the back from you? Or would you see that as simply a stunt and something he should have done anyway?

We're not paying for it. Yes, it's that simple.

and the right thinks a black man should not have the same things every other president has had

 

[bendog]

Why can't he just use Ted Kennedy's house (-:

 

[Truthmatters]

I don't pat people on the back for doing the right thing.... or not doing the wrong thing for that matter, but I wouldn't call it a publicity stunt either.

Nobody said anything like that you fucking idiot. Go crawl back into your racist little hole.

Wanna bet? My total income is derived from VA disability and Social Security.

We aren't paying for it, but you already knew that.

I would say that he is finally putting his money where his mouth is.

His and Michelle's separate Vaca's and travels have cost the American Tax payer an estimated $1 billion in the past 5 years.

From Michelle refusing to fly on the same plane with him to a joint vacation spot, to his going to play golf with Tiger in one part of the country while she goes to another part, to her trip to Spain to show her daughter some Culture.

And all this while the economy has been crumbling and unemployment at record highs with people losing their houses and homes, food stamps doubling, and gas prices going through the roof.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

The predictable irony of Obamabots defending this is that they raised hell over Bush taking "too many vacations" when most of the time he just went back to his own house in Texas.

 

[bendog]

why cant you?

Geez, lighten up, Shirley. LOL

 

[rightwinger]

The Obama's passed up their summer vacation last year.....hope they have a good time
