Camp David's woodsy confines lure him to 10th visit
WASHINGTON - -- Why hasn't President Barack Obama kept his pledge to make Chicago's South Side his "Kennebunkport"?
Two words: Camp David.
The ultra-private, presidential mountain retreat -- a half-hour from the White House by helicopter -- has quickly found fans within the First Family. Their stay for Labor Day weekend was Obama's 10th visit....
...With Obama's return Sunday, he has logged all or part of 26 days at Camp David, White House officials say.

They know they will be photographed, yet dress like that for travels on a taxpayer funded aircraft.It seems Republicans are the only party who can fathom a concept of respect for their office and what it represents.
I cringed when I saw photos of the "beer party" with Obama walking ahead of the police officer and the professor. W would have never left them to "fend for themselves"......because if nothing else....he is gracious and well-mannered.

I wonder how much it will cost taxpayers to disinfect the place after he leaves?

Just another "in your face" tactic by our betters.I can guarantee they are not "my betters". Even with my dismal knowledge of politics.....I could have done a more excellent job of being president or first-lady.... due to the fact I can read/understand the Constitution and respect the office of the Presidency. :0)

Right!!! It's our duty to pledge that Obozo & his family should have all the comforts available to mankind.
In the meantime, he's doing his best to make sure that the rest of us daily lose more of our freedom to live & enjoy our lives in the way we choose for ourselves & our children.

The Chosen One, Tovarisch Dunham, has progressed beyond South Chicago and has become accustomed to having access to his country dacha, i.e. Camp David.

I am assuming that Camp David is not smoke-free. That could well be all we need to know.

I puke at the sound of that retched voice. I tolerate it when Rush speeds it up into chipmunk territory.

Thank God he hasn't. It's a real pain in the butt to have him in this neighborhood.
