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.

You know, we are a highly organized bunch, paid for by the right-wing lobby.

Both the VFW and the American Legion lost a lot of my respect with the treatment that they gave VietNam vets in the late sixties and early seventies. If at some point during Adolf Obama’s visit to the VFW Convention I see no signs that they remember they all took an oath to defend the Constitution, it will only cement my feelings towards them.

I’ve been hearing that the volcano beneath Yellowstone is due to BLOW some time soon.

If Obama stops there, it will SUCK.

Maybe they will cancel one another.

Fitting that the individual who understands how to make a Great Depression is going to visit one.

LOL!!!

As long as it’s on YOUR DIME, the sky’s the limit on what he’ll spend. He STEALS money from US, everyday. I’d hate to know how much Michele, my belle has spent ... .

President Bush couldn’t even go to his ranch without the Dems accusing him of taking too much vacation.

Since my husband and I started a family 13 years ago, our family has never gone on a vacation. In this economy, this president’s family shouldn’t be taking any vacations, especially when we’re the ones who have to pay for secret service, etc., and most of us can’t even afford a vacation for ourselves.

“PS most Europeans hate America just as he does.”

Wrong. I lived in Europe, have traveled there, have relatives there. In my work career, have known many Europeans.
Most Europeans admire America and Americans.

I can’t speak for Obama. We heard his wife, so that is a clue.
My guess is many Europeans wonder why we elected this leftist. The general trend there has been rightward of late.

I think they will find things a bit rugged, for Chicago city folks.

I doubt he will do a Town Hall in Cody Wyoming. No local union thugs to bus in to rough up the locals.

Nobody I know can afford even a short vacation. 0 should lead by example & it is a slap in our faces he is always off somewhere. He should have to pay for his own vacations IMHO. I wonder if he has spent more time away from the White House then actually there then any other president.

Presidential family to visit the Old Faithful Geyser. August 26, 1995

“With the first family looking on, Old Faithful geyser erupted right on schedule at 12:35 p.m. — slowly at first with a hiss of steam, then powerfully as a fountain of scalding, subterranean water spurted more than 100 feet into the air.”

Pre-Lewinsky moment?

Sorry to butt in... this movie was a movie made by Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball... The Long Long Trailer..... I think that was the title. It’s pretty funny!

BTW... loved this quote on your personal page:
“Faith makes heroes; love makes saints.
...Cardinal John Henry Newman “

No wonder he didn’t want guns allowed in the National Parks.

Too bad it isn’t possible to hang “Obama/Joker-Socialist” posters on the sides of the bison blocking his motorcade.

Can we hope that the bear eats him when he tries to shake hands with “Yogi”?
