CHILMARK, Mass. (AP) -- He may be leader of the free world, but President Barack Obama isn't exempt from a summer rainstorm like the one that blew across New England on Monday, swamping his Martha's Vineyard vacation.

Gone was any thought of more presidential golf. Instead, his only outing was to a local school gym to play basketball - indoors, and in private.

On the fifth day of a planned 10-day holiday here, Obama was once again mostly out of the public eye.

Is he going to blame global warming for it?

Don’t worry, he will just extend his taxpayer funded vacation until he gets a week of sunshine.

What is scary is that the Secret Book - the one only Presidents get to see - and who knows what’s in it..is in the hands of a Commie America Hater...so now all of those secrets will probably be divulged to our enemies.

It was in National treasure ( and people wondered if it was real)..and it seems like Obama confirmed in an interview that he had seen it.

I hope it turns cold, too, hah.

Maybe Michelle will have to wear more substantial tops than those sleeveless horrors showing too much of her sexless floppy boobs and her "well-toned" Mr. Universe arms.

Important safety tip for Obozo. When AP includes sentences like this in their normally puff-piece about you, the honeymoon is over, and so are your chances of going down as anything other than a one-term, blundering nincompoop that will displace either Carter or Buchanan as the worst Pre__sent in history.

What kind of stupid statement is this? Is Obama somehow so special he deserves perfect weather for his millionth vacation? Sheesh. The media's salivating worship of this Marxist is really sick.

If he goes sailboarding, I'm planning a waterspout.

Nor’easters hang off that coast like a bad dream. Going to be rain, wind, and generally miserable conditions until that moves back off shore.

Being golf was rained out, it was a perfect Sunday to spend in church, doncha think?

After all, that’s where committed Christians tend to spend Sundays anyway.

obummers are self-centered narcissist Marxist bums that have leeched off of America their entire lives without ever giving anything back except their whining and griping about America’s unfairness and injustice. Pure pathetic scumbags.
