My mother just told me tonight she saw Michelle Obama telling people to vacation in the south around the gulf to bring them business, and then noticed the Obama’s went and vacationed in Maine.
In answer to the question you inserted in the headline:
No, we didn’t see headlines like this when the Bushes were on vacation. That’s because the Bushes had class and didn’t go out of their way to strut their stuff in front of the cameras.
It’s all a giant photo op, but I’m OK with it. I like it when Barry0 is distracted and out of Washington.
(Flying that unruly dog on his own plane is a bit much, the Obama version of “let them eat cake.”)
I suspect the Obana PR office issues a press release each day and the MSM rewrites it and sends it to press. They all say essentially the same thing.
Very crowded place in July. I’m just thinking of the people who planned their whole family vacation around this place and aren’t able to go anywhere now because of the Obamas.
Who cares about that Communist?
Since we live on a farm and have younger children, we are active by default.
It’s kind of comical to see the Obamas making such a big deal about being SO active ... only to end every outing at an ice cream parlor. 500 calories of Cookies & Cream or whatever to make up for the 50 they worked off hiking or biking ;-)
Obama is praised for being such an active, family man on his vacation.
But when Bush was in office, the media trashed him for being a free loader. Double standard anyone?
“Bush on track to become the vacation president”

“At a White House press conference Thursday, Bush appeared to be already inhabiting his vacation mode, shedding the businesslike, sometimes grim demeanor he’s had of late to slouch against the podium and be avuncular.” http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/mason/5042364.html
"Weezie" and Bambi...."Movin' on up"!
Well I spent my weekend vacation removing candy colored rocks around in my garden..it was hot sweaty work..no ice cream cones here...don’t ya know by 2014 all of us serfs have to be weighed like cattle and a BMI index put into electronic medical records...so we don’t get ice cream cones or ice cones or fancy white house pies or even popcicles now...we have to do the Michelle 0bama diet program so we will be ready to report to weight watchers.
If the President goes to Maine, he gets thick news coverage in Boston and in ALL the New England states.
The Democrats are trying to shore up their stronghold up there in the NE because things are starting to crumble for them as truth gets out more and more about the corruption in the Dem party.
It’s great to be the King.
The first stop Friday was a 90-minute bike ride on the lushly wooded trails around Witch Hole Pond.
WITCH HOLE POND Ha Ha I never knew they had a pond in Maine named after Michelle.
Stewman’s Lobster Pound. A restaurant named after her too.
The President and the first lady dined on lobster, while their daughters shared a shrimp basket.
Barack has decided to go with budget cuts. He is cutting the kids food budget so Michelle can afford to stuff her face with lobster.
I loved it when President Bush would vacation at his home in Crawford during the Texas summers... meant the press would be p***ing and moaning about the blast furnace combination of heat and humidity.
The press ate a lot of cake back then... and it was good... not :-)
Michelle and her freeloading mother know they only have 4 years to travel the world with first-class accomodations on the American dime. They intend to spend every last penny. God forbid they get eight years!
