Unreal.

Life’s a party. With the government shutdown looming… Obama plans his weekend getaway. Daily Press reported:

The leader of the free world may be coming to Williamsburg for some rest and relaxation if Congress is able to come to agreement on the budget. President Obama and the First Family are planning to visit the area this weekend in what the White House described Wednesday as a “long-planned family trip to Colonial Williamsburg.”

But the trip might get grounded if a government shutdown can’t be averted by Republicans and Democrats in Congress.

At least Obama is consistent. He responds to EVERY problem with a vacation!

That would make a great bumpersticker.

“Repugnant” doesn’t even begin to describe the evil bastard.

Is someone keeping track of Obama family vacations?

If he can fight a war from spring break, he can certainly run a unfunded government from a few miles down the road.

You have to be joking. Didn't he just get home from a family vacation in Rio????

The man is just the worst excuse for a Chief Executive in the history of the republic.

It’s breathtaking what a reprehensible slug zero turned out to be.

A REST FROM WHAT? Umpteen vacations! This is what the moron craved, not the presidency, but the money, vacations, and celebrity. If he is not impeached soon this country will become a bigger joke than it is now. He doesn’t seem to worried about his reelection. Either he doesn’t really want a second term and he is taking us for all he can get, or he thinks it’s in the bag. Something doesn’t pass the smell test.

Oh yes. And apparently, Michelle is excited to update her spring wardrobe at once of those fancy upscale stores in Williamsburg ....

Just think ...right down the road at Ft. Eustis, many military wives will be wondering whether or not they can put food on the table after the mid-month pay day.

I wonder...

Is Obama taking so many vacations in order to not be in D.C. when it gets nuked?

Give the poor man a break.

He has absolutely no idea what a president is supposed to do.

He might as well enjoy the perks while he can get ‘em. That’s what makes America great, right?

“Poor man” sounds so nice when it’s attached to him. I want to see him dragged out of the WH in handcuffs, perp walked to the police car and next seen wearing an orange jumpsuit. That would be a perk. :)

hey, where’d he get the budget for that trip? He should be stuck in the White Hut for the duration of the shutdown.
