OBAMAS' VINEYARD ESCAPE
NY Post ^ | Aug. 22, 2009 | GEOFF EARLE

WASHINGTON -- DC is scorching hot, his health-care plan is on the rocks, and President Obama is decamping to Martha's Vineyard for his first-ever presidential vacation, which the White House called "well earned."

After a month when his public-approval ratings took a dive, Obama flew to the presidential retreat at Camp David, Md., yesterday to start his 10-day getaway.

He was scheduled to fly to the Vineyard tomorrow. There were reports that First Lady Michelle Obama and their children were already there.

Obama has rented the luxurious, 28-acre Blue Heron farm, paying rent of more than $25,000 out of his pocket. The Secret Service and the White House are contributing to expenses.

I think BO deserves a permanent vacation. Country will recover without him.

He is even incompetent in his “vacation” planning. Going right into the path of hurricane Bill.

Well earned as he screwed Amerika with CFC and then couldn’t run it right.

You can bet that the administration costs will three times the cost of the car purchase and then wait for the disposal costs. I bet we never hear the true dollars. Perhaps even 10 billion.

I surprised the did out source the processing to their Fiat partnera!

Maybe the should have hired Axelrod’s company to do the work? Oh that’s right the are busy working the Flag at healthcare emails for a fee. Axelrod gets 2,000,000 paid to him while in the Whitehouse and hires his old firm to do a 26,000,000 media campaign.

Yes Obama does have a plan for your health care.

Let's see ... the president's annual salary is 400K so we should keep Barry on permanent vacation for the next 4 years on the condition that he can't enact any of his agenda. We give him a plane for him to fly Shelly and the kids where ever they want to go, but no TV or press conferences. I think this way the country gets off cheap for the next 4 years.

Ever notice it’s the Democrats who can’t be happy w/the place provided for the president for vacations (Camp David) and have to go to fancy expensive places? Am I wrong about that?

Had Zer0care passed by now he would walk out on the beach , raise his hands and cause Bill to dissipate.

But we’ve pi$$ed him off so we have to suffer.

Obambi has to hang out with Vernon Jordan and other fixers because things are not going so well.

O’s failures are far worse than having sex with an intern.

He’s raping the entire country with his economic policies, his plans for dud care, etc.
