A magical place.

Country road in Chilmark.

amusing how the recent democrat presidents, workin’ for po’ folks on the democrat plantation,

have to head out to be with the ultra rich that they despise.

This should help his polls.

As unemployment passes 10% and average Americans struggle to make ends meet, Obama goes on vacation at a $50k per week rental. A real man of the people.

[COUNTrecount]

Will Cindy be protesting there like she did in Crawford during President Bush's vacation?

Those who fight capitalists and fascists (and racists) on behalf of the workers are entitled to these tokens of gratitude which are cheerfully given on behalf of the workers.

Maybe Christie Brinkley can take Michelle clothes shopping before hand.

I hope he is careful not to run off any bridges.

I wonder if the 50 grand includes a security deposit to clean the place up after they trash it.

The Boston Herald reported that First Lady Michelle Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha would arrive at Martha's Vineyard mid-August with the president joining them a few days later.

It is assumed that Grandma (Michelle’s mom) and their dog Bo will be joining them as well.

And when Professor Gates peddles by on his hand-made 24-speed tricycle and jingles his bell, will the President of the United States join the admiring throng that calls out, "There goes Henry Louis Gates, Jr."? Surely the news media will keep the waiting public apprised.

[Sacajaweau]

Since Gates lives at the Vineyard....Maybe we should go back and look at that whole “Let’s take down the white cops”. Was this a setup??

...Obama was due on the island for the last week of August and was expected to pay the rental out of his own pocket.

I wouldn't bet a nickel on that happening.

Didn’t this dickhead just HAVE a vacation?

[AU72]

I’m imagining what the MSM would be saying if President Bush and Laura, in the middle of the worst recession in 60 years, spent a week at the ‘Southfork Ranch’ the guest of JR Ewing.

FARM STAND SELLS BASKETS OF LOCAL PRODUCE

The senator was running a bit late; but when he finally glided into the auditorium, escorted by an assortment of aides, he was greeted by a tremendous swell of applause as he took to the stage. Dressed in a brown jacket and red tie, Obama approached the podium, flanked by two giant screens enlarging his image, and began a softly spoken but compelling speech that recalled his own days, after his graduation in 1983 from Columbia University, as a community organizer in poor neighborhoods of Chicago. “You’ll have boundless opportunities when you graduate,” he told the students, “and it’s very easy to just take that diploma, forget about all this progressive-politics stuff, and go chasing after the big house and the large salary and the nice suits and all the other things that our money culture says you should buy. But I hope you don’t get off that easy. There’s nothing wrong with making money, but focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a poverty of ambition.”

Yes it is. It's only 8.8 miles from Chappaquiddick.
Maybe fatso Teddy can take Bary for a Sunday drive
