Barack Obama to spend holidays in Martha's Vineyard
Daily Telegraph ^ | July 3, 2009 | Leonard Doyl

Now Barack Obama and his family plan to spend some time next month on the glamorous island.

Just off Cape Cod in New England, the island is where America's Democratic elite comes to let its hair down each summer, enjoying "clambakes" on the beach, garden parties, sailing and golf. It has long been a favourite haunt of Bill Clinton and his wife, Hillary, who is now the US secretary of state.

Think about Hussein having a good ole time on the American taxpayers’ dime while watching this.

Killed in action the week before, the body of Staff Sergeant John C. Beale was returned to Falcon Field in Peachtree City Georgia, just south of Atlanta, on June 11, 2009. The Henry County Police Department escorted the procession to the funeral home in McDonough Georgia. A simple notice in local papers indicated the road route to be taken and the approximate time.

Nowadays one can be led to believe that America no longer respects Honor and that outside of the military, no one honors the sacrifices by members of the military. Be it known that there are many places in this land where people still recognize the courage and sacrifices of the men and women in uniform. Georgia remains one of those graceful places.

The link below is a short travelogue of that day’s remarkable and painful journey. Watch this film clip if you wish to have your faith in people restored.

Tough to watch. Thank God for heroes like Sgt. Beale.

Too bad Cronkite is ailing. I'm sure somebody has a sailboat for the Obamas.

We have these stupid, vapid self-appointed elites telling us how to run our lives. They’re not even particularly talented. It’s a mystery to me how these people are able to milk the system to achieve this status. We all can point to politicians who are just plain dumb.

My wife and I would love to stay at the Outermost Inn on the Vinyard

A really cool place owned/operated by James Taylor’s brother, Hugh!
Maybe someday when the economy returns to capitalism.

I’m wondering how the community organizer from Chicago will mix with this haughty money crowd. Obama fancies himself to be part of the moneyed elite, but really is just a machine politician from Chicago with money who really doesn’t have any real class. His numerous faux pas with European leaders and shallow intellectualism demonstrate that. Bill and Hillary mixed with this crowd because of old Billy’s aw shucks charm, not because they were pretending to be monied elite.

That was in the U.S. Virgin Islands, not a state but a territory.
