The entire family has not had a vacation together since the holidays (Christmas, I'm guessing, at least for most Americans) in Hawaii.

The Poor Dears! Can you imagine the deprivation that they suffer to serve us so nobly? I know I couldn't bear the load they have taken upon themselves.

How about working on fixing the economy Mr. President?

Please, NO!

(Maybe another vacation isn't such a bad idea.)

Hey, the guy needs a vacation (or whatever the muslim word for it is). It’s hard work trashing the economy, nationalizing industries, dissing our former allies, bowing in servitude to our adversaries, being on tv every day, mocking his political opponents, being arrogant, and trying to get in some hoops in his spare time....

To: I still care
You know, when I got my first job I got two weeks vacation. A year. When I made plans to go away on it, and told my mom (who ran her own business all her life), she said, I never in my life went on two weeks vacation. She was over 70 at the time.

Me too. Even when my husband worked for others and got a lot of days vacation as part of the package, he could never take them. Now, we have out own business, and we can never take off. Our last vacation was 8 days in Ireland, and guess when? Over 9/11/2001. They shut down all the flights to the US, and we almost didn't get home. My husband is over 70 and he puts in all nighters at the plant all the time, just to keep the shipments moving.

It's a beautiful Sat. morning. The yard is calling. And we're at the plant putting finishing touches on a shipment that has to go out before 2 PM. I have a new grandchild, born in November, whom I haven't met yet. We can't get away, and she lives in another state.

I'm not complaining, but it would be easy to despise someone who comes up with such lame excuses as "The whole family hasn't had a vacation together since the Holidays in Hawaii." He'd better not say that to my face! Billary didn't even have that many vacations when they couldn't stand to be in the same house at the same time!

He probably wants to size up the Biltmore house to see if it would make a good summer cottage for the king and his family.

Yep and he can get in a few shots at capitalists such as the Vanderbilts, practice his bowling at the Biltmore alley, and get Michelle and the girls to work the gardens. Sounds like a winner.

Mine hasn't in a few years. We are working too hard to pay our taxes (you know those taxes we were mocked about a couple of days ago by His Highness).

Here’s hoping for rain.

Wonder if Tax-Rev Bev will make a pilgrimage to see him.

“Who takes family vacations every 4 months?”

The same kind of family that takes a private jet from Washington, DC to New York for a “date night”.

Well, North Carolina did show us that they were a Blue State in 2008.

Gee, I wonder if they’ll visit that citadel of the very capitalist system he and his fellow Chicago thugs are destroying, Biltmore House?

Might want to consider changing the name to Biltnomore House.
