IMHO, very poor political saavy. The country’s in a severe recession and the President heads to Martha’s Vineyard for his vacation?

GWB went to his ranch which he owned, it wasn’t a “rental”...GHWB went to Kennebunkport, there again, not a “rental.” Reagan and Carter vacationed at family properties. Kennedy and Johnson, also, went to their own “places” to vacation. Only Bubba used to vacation with the Martha’s Vineyard crowd, but the economy then wasn’t what it is today.

My point is, it seems over the top at this point in our economy with the headlines being Medicare’s going to go down for the first time in years, and unemployment numbers continuing to rise.

Obama sends the message out to reporters that "he wants [them] to relax."

What a pompous ass.

He takes a lot of vacation which is a good thing for the country. Maybe he’ll take even more. I wish congress would double, triple or quadruple their vacation too.

The temptation to speak his mind may be too much for the president to resist.

This will be an excellent chance to see if the arrogant, narcissistic -14nobama can contain himself.

I predict no. He will just have to get his mug on TV sometime this week. If he doesn't, all his "Hopey Changey" friends might forget about him.

I have no doubt Bambi will be getting lessons on speaking without a prompter...and how to lie more convincingly.

Rahm and Axelrod will see to it. Soros has too much money riding on this Presidency.
