MIAMI - Forecasters issued a tropical storm warning for the Massachusetts coastline Saturday as Hurricane Bill sped toward the U.S.

The warning, which includes the islands of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, means tropical storm-force winds of 40 mph or more could hit the coastline in the next 24 hours. President Barack Obama and his family plan to travel to Martha's Vineyard on Sunday for vacation.

Meanwhile, a hurricane watch was discontinued for the island of Bermuda, though a tropical storm warning was still in effect.

Forecasters at the National Hurricane Center in Miami also say more watches and warnings could be posted for Nova Scotia and Newfoundland in Canada.

I hope Bill decides to hang out over Martha’s Vineyard the whole week.

If some of this rain would come to central Texas, I’d be mighty grateful! We are scorched here.

I hope Bill decides to hang out over Martha’s Vineyard the whole week.

That'd be just like Hurricane Bill to insinuate himself into where the action is.

Wonder what his partner "thunder thighs" is gonna be doing.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Ping!

[rdl6989]

Me too.

[mkjessup]

Gosh, I hope a random thunderbolt or tornado doesn’t chase 0bama’s ass down while he’s on Martha’s Vineyard.

On the other hand, God DOES have a sense of humor about such things. King Herod for example, gluttonous pig that he was (and murderer of little babies) was eaten up by intestinal worms, I’m sure that demise rated at least a buck-snort from the Almighty.

I guess Bill is going to wee wee on their vacation....

[MNJohnnie]

Never fear, the Mighty O has gone to Martha’s vineyard to place himself between the storm and his serfs.

[Will88]

I guess Obama will have something to ponder if his vacation is ruined by a hurricane named Bill.

[NautiNurse]

A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for
the coast of Massachusetts from Woods Hole
to Sagamore Beach...including the islands
of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.

No worries, OdumbO is going to stop the oceans rise.

[FDNYRHEROES]

I hope Bill decides to hang out over Martha’s Vineyard the whole week.

Most likely, Obama is hoping for the swift passage of the Hurricane Bill...

—Might I be the first to say— “Rove, you and your weather machine, are both Magnificent Bastards!”

[DollyCali]

oh that is too funny~!

[LadyPilgrim]

Good morning dear friend! Thanks for the ping!
Other than the waves and rain from Bill on the coast,
looks like it might be a bit calm for a few days.

[NautiNurse]

Happy Saturday! :o)

It's hard to get wee weed up about Hurricane Bill threatening TOTUS' vacation destination.

Bertha Big Butt is just about as attractive as ole’ thunder thighs.
