A hard-working man of the people, this president certainly deserves a well-earned break from his exhausting job.

How many billions would Obozo piss away if he were in Washington locked in full money wasting mode?
Sounds like a bargain to me.

I wanna know who told this B0Z0 he could take a vacation. He hasn't done anything to deserve ANOTHER one that's for sure.

I guess all the destruction of our country has worn him out.

Too bad Teddy Kennedy is not around to take Obama on a driving tour of Chappaquiddick.It is particularly scenic when taken in from a submerged point of view.

Will any Arugula be killed to support this trip?

“Suddenly cell phone service in Chilmark, usually spotty to nonexistent, was crystal clear, another sign that the president is coming,” reported the paper’s Peter Brannen.

This Peter is an allusion to your feeble mind as the SS and Pres probly talk on a secure net and Verison wont and hasnt changed crap for this visit.

The real question is “Why is he on vacation AGAIN?” (Or is that “still”?)

Great letter to the editor in the WSJ today in response to a Bret Stephens editorial about what a jerk Omumba is.

In Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar," Cassius asks Brutus, "Tell me, good Brutus, can you see your face?" to which Brutus responds, "No, Cassius; for the eye sees not itself, But by reflection, by some other things." Kudos to Bret Stephens for nailing our egomaniac president who cannot see himself and is blind to his reflection from others.

He's such an egomaniac that he doesn't know AND doesn't care how this plays. Well said.

The One/Won might as well take advantage of his vacations while he’s still in the WH. After all when he’s booted from same in 2012 he’ll be Persona Non Grata there in the future? He’ll have to vacation in Chicagoland exclusively in the future?

Who is advising this Bozo? Posh super luxe vacations hobnobbing with the elite is just politics an worse optics.
He should cancel his vacation, return to DC, call back the Congress, and deal with the problems Americans are facing this summer.
LEAD BY EXAMPLE BARRY!
FWIW The weather forecast for the Vineyard is RAIN ... all week long!

a hardly working man, you mean...

presidential vacations are expensive and this was known from the word go. the general sentiment on FR from the git-go of the Obama regime was that America is better off every day he’s on vacation, the ideal being that he would be on one long nonstop do-nothing vacation for four years then say goodbye. it would be well worth the money.

It’s no illusion; it is brought up to speed so that his propaganda press can breathlessly report every step, nod and fart issued by der Fuehrer and his ass-lickers.

gaaaah, better that obozo be on a constant vacation than throwing more monkey wrenches into the economy.

I can’t remember the last time we took a vacation. ‘06, I think.

Great find! Is it the real deal or photoshopped?
I guess Michelle-Antoinette doesn’t use coupons!

Well, in this case to deny the Queen.

I wonder if this stuff has at least twice as much fat and sodium than she wants the little people to have.

Actually, he is not on vacation enough.
I would really prefer a permanent vacation - - the further away and as remote as possible.

(Almost) Like Rush says “What is wrong with the ‘government shut down’? When they aren’t there they aren’t as likely to be sticking it to us”.
(Not exact quote but good enough for this exercise)

Is this for real?

If so, I am posting it to my Facebook page to annoy my liberal "friends". If it is a fake, they will nail me for it though.
