WHAT????

What vacation spot is scheduled for Sept? Oct...It's vacation when you take the family. Meanwhile Americans are out of work and the BOSS OF EVERYTHING is on vacation.

Remember when Bush got grief even when he 'gave up golf for the troops' in 2003. Said it didn't look good to the moms of fighting men and women. The Left said it was a knee/leg injury disruption.

Hypocrites, the Left.

“President-elect Barack Obama said Americans will have to sacrifice to lift the nation from recession”...

Apparantly lavish presidential vacations are not included.

Spain needs to be careful. They’ve had to run muslims out before.

The Left is comparing Obama and Bush time off saying that Bush had taken over 90 days vacation to Obama’s 30+ at the 18mo mark.

So they are comparing Barry’s extensive golfing, eating out, playing with his kids and listening to Michelle whine, while jetting all over hell and creation, to President Bush going to Camp David or the ranch in Crawford.

I think Barry and the Klingon have already wore out AF-1 and are now working on AF-2.

Sooner than later, his “black base” is going to start seeing this man as a pathetic fraud that is living like a king while his “base” lives in squaller (or thinks they do, most not having seen real squaller in S Africa or Brasil).

Saudi Prince on holiday in Marbella

By h.b. - Jul 15, 2010 - 7:34 AM

The King Fahd Palace in Marbella
The entourage is over 100 people and many locals have gained temporary employment

The Saudi Prince, Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, who is brother to the late King Fahd, has arrived in Marbella for a summer break.
His entourage is of more than 100 people, and dozens of locals have also been contracted into service.

Municipal sources have confirmed the prince arrived on Monday, and note that they have also taken rooms in several hotels including the Marbella Club, Puente Romano and Don Pepe.

The Saudi Royal Family has been spending its holidays in Marbella for the past 30 years, and their yacht, ‘Shaf’ can be seen in Puerto Banús.

Lifestyle August 16, 2009
The Saudi Royal family always show up in big numbers in Marbella and Puerto Banus in July and August.But did you know the Saudis own 18% of the World´s top 100 Largest Super Yachts!

http://agent4stars.blogspot.com/2009/08/puerto-banus-again-have-saudi-royal.html
(Free-Press-Release.com) August 16, 2009 —
Should you be visiting the World famous port Puerto Banus and walk past the port office´s watch tower, you will no doubt ask who own the 2 largest yachts in the port.

Lady Haya is 65 meters,designed by super star designer Terence Disdale and althought the super yacht is from 1981, it looks like a brand new yacht.The yacht is often refitted and the ship looks absolutely faboulus.At the moment you can see the royals and their friends sitting on the top deck almost every evening.The police are everywhere in and around the port.The enormous amount off wealth on display amounts to approximately €40-45million for Lady Haya And approximately 10 million for the smaller and older Shaf, both are owned by HRH Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz al-Saud and his brothers.
They also own Prince Abul Aziz, which at 147 meters values at appoximately €50million and is to long to enter the port in Puerto Banus.But have been seen on several times in the Bay of Marbella.

Other Saudi owned super yachts include Al Salamah

Someone who is good at it needs to put together in time sequence all the trips,vacations, expensive dates, etc. all with footage and/or pictures of him golfing at all the different spots, playing hoops, along with all the entertainment etc. Every so often have him saying we all got to make sacrifices. At the end show pictures of soldiers fighting, people out of jobs and the golf spill. The last thing on the video can be him saying he won’t rest until whatever all he has said that about. And the comment from a real guy saying “I haven’t taken a vacation since I don’t know when. Who does he think he is, king of America???.”
