So here we are in August, time for a little summer vacation. President Barack Obama is taking Michelle and the kids out on a Western swing to see some of America’s most famous national parks.

Next Friday, August 14, they will fly out to Bozeman, Montana and the next day will visit Yellowstone National Park, home of the Old Faithful geyser, in nearby Wyoming. Later that day they head to Grand Junction, Colorado.

On August 16, it’s on to the Grand Canyon in Arizona. They end up in Phoenix for the president to address the convention of Veterans of Foreign Wars. Weather prediction: It’ll be hot in Phoenix. They’re back in Washington on August 17.

Does this guy take a vacation every two weeks? Bush never could have got away with this.

Omama is so European, taking the month of August off for vacation. No wonder he want us to enjoy European levels of unemployment, taxation, government bloat and a single payer one size fits all health system.

PS most Europeans hate America just as he does.

Hey cut the guy some slack, you know how hard it is to turn the United States of America into Iran/Venezuela, it’s hard work. Doesn’t happen in a day

God forgive me but my first thought was--collateral damage notwithstanding--I hope that mega-caldera blows while they're there.

Lap it up Kos Krowd and DU.

I thought they were going to Martha’s Vineyard. Is that already over? Time for another vacation? These people are worthless. Utterly worthless.

I haven’t had a vacation in 7 years. Is it just me or is he off and about more than George W. Bush?

The old soldiers in the crowd will give him a smattering of polite applause. I suspect it'll be a different matter outside.

Let them stay down there in the canyon. They are not needed on the higher ground!

Now, now, let’s give Obama some slack. His daughters have been forced to shake hands with Bill Clinton. And Ted Kennedy. And John Edwards. JUST ONCE, shouldn’t they get the chance to see something that can be called “old faithful?”
