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.

That it is, Michelle, Barak, and the little kidlets off
on summer vacation....

Wish I could get a overhead shot of the presidential
ontourage, it probably stretches for miles.
It will play hell with the other tourists in the park,
if there ARE any other tourists allowed. Will they confiscate their cell phones too?

I’m simple minded..I adore that movie. I reminded me of my marriage.

Lest we not forget the canned pically or picadilly..or what ever it was.

Nice, thanks for the heads up. Plenty of time to prepare the protest.

Great. First time his motorcade stops because of a bison herd blocking the road, he’ll probably accuse them of being a GOP lobbying group trying to block his agenda.

Yes, I think we’ve all had those kind of experiences,
I remember one summer..... but then I thought I had sucessfully repressed those feelings. Oh well, more therapy.

Ya know, looking at the schedule, they are only going to be
there for a couple of hours. This is nothing more than
a photo op with the first family against the majestic
beauty of America...

How can you see Yellowstone in less than several days??

Conclusion: Photo OP.

That was one funny movie. I remember watching it when it first came out when I was a kid. Ahh, the good old days when Americans were really free and practically on one had health insurance or needed it.

You can just see them at Old Faithful.

“Ranger, can you speed this thing up, the president
is on a schedule?”

I thought they rented a spot at Martha’s Vineyard? Or is this yet ANOTHER vacation?

Hey, is this a great country or what? You give a fellow and his wife free ivy league educations and elect them to be plutocrats and then shut down the national parks and forests so they can frolic. He da king of kings, lord of lords, an dork of dorks. Not saying who he might be, of course. Wouldn’t be prudent. Might get put on report to de white house. uns

I loved that movie. The part where Lucy is trying to make a nice dinner for Desi while in motion is a classic.

IIRC, impeached and disbarred former president Clinton and his alleged wife went camping on their first major vacation in office.

Why camping?

It was determined by poll results on where to go... to fake being more like...us.

Joke was on impeached and disbarred former president Clinton and alleged wife, however. Not only did they HATE camping, but nobody really cared where they went.

This looks like a reprise of a gratuitous grand performance by a city dweller who wants to fake...being more like us.

Nice try, it won't work.
