Last night President Obama and First Lady Obama dined at State Road Restaurant in West Tisbury on Martha’s Vineyard.

...

As they departed the restaurant at 9:55 pm ET, reporters asked the president if he was enjoying his vacation even with the rain.

"I'm having a great time,” the president said. “Doing a lot of reading"

[Huskrrrr]

It takes a special man who can still enjoy himself after so many vacations. Frankly, I would have been bored by now.

[Marathoner]

It’s good to be the King.

[Le Chien Rouge]

Obama is probably hanging with cousin Eddie at a barbecue eating hamburger helper without the hamburger.

I’d love to see his Aunt Edna.

[Carlucci]

A sound-byte of him saying this contrasted against the dismal economic/employment numbers would be a very effective commercial leading up to November.

[paulycy]

Since it rained will he and his family have to have a “do-over” vacation, also on the public funds?

I KNOW what the “breaking news” is: The Obamas had lobster tempura for dinner last night.

Holy cow. These two are on Martha’s Vineyard, and they’re having lobster tempura?

Godfrey, that’s like going into a deli and ordering a PB&J.

The Titanic is sinking but the band is still playing....

NO...he DOES NOT care how it looks.

As Neil Cavuto said last night on Fox...He’s not gonna run again. He’s LBJ in 1968...unelectable...he’s gone so he’s gonna enjoy the trappings of office...he did his job...he took America into socialism on several levels...he’s done.

Sounds like Barry is happy catching up on his comic books.

You can bet that this muslim will be off during the month of Ramadan.

[faq]

“Any photos of him eating food?”

The article says he left the restaurant at 9:55 pm and that would have been well after sunset. He’d be OK with Ramadan.

“Doing a lot of reading”

??? Health Care Reform Bill????

[SMARTY]

F’ing half of the US wears you out

[PowderMonkey]

"Having a great time."

Oh, the joy. I'm simply breathless...

[GQuagmire]

I actually kind of feel bad for his kids. The weather has been horrible here and they’re stuck with those two inside for four days with (I assume) no friends their age.

You RACIST!!

Oh, wait...

[melancholy]

Aunt Zeituni, an illegal alien like him, is right nearby in Boston.

I wonder if she was smuggled to MV under the cover of darkness.

[Hulka]

Like every African tin-pot dictator, out for himself only, to grab as much as he can while the “fun” lasts. . .no thought about what is best for the country. . .just what need be done to seize spoils and reward cronies.

Typical African behavior.
