It's good to be the king.
From US News:
Obamas Plan Fifth Vacation Since July
There they go again. For the fifth time since July, the first family has set plans to board Air Force One for a frilly vacation, a 10-day return trip to exclusive Martha's Vineyard where they are expected to stay at the 28-acre oceanfront Blue Heron Farm that rents for up to $50,000 a week.But first the Obamas will be traveling to the Gulf Coast of Florida for a mini-vacation as a way to encourage other vacationing Americans to head to the beaches that have been shunned by tourists worried about oil-slicked sands due to the Gulf oil spill. They are expected to travel to Florida this weekend, return to Washington for a few days then it's off to the Massachusetts island August 19.
Maybe Barack should actually get to work on the economy in the form of helping small businesses to encourage others to get to work.

I can’t afford to drive the 45 minutes to one of the best beaches in the world and this fool is doing this. argh
They just don’t care what people think do they. Makes me think they expect 1 term.
The only thing wring with that title is the word “LIKE”.
Pull it out and it will be accurate.
It just never stops with them huh? Out of touch? Privileged now? Owed to them... ????????
But, but, Hussein himself said he was “not that far removed from what most Americans are going through.” He wouldn't lie, would he? After all Joe Wilson was censured for saying "You lie!" to 0bamao.

It was our first real vacation in almost 3 years. We are now in total Hunker Down Mode. We've almost completely paid off every credit card we have. In less than 6 months we should be completely debt free except for our mortgage.
As we didn't get caught up in the RE market lunacy we've got almost 50% equity in our house and the payments are under $1,000 a month.
Every thing else gets saved or put into food or other SHTF items.
Queen Moochelle should shop more. And bring the LameStream Media with her to report it in living color. How about an Oprah show on location for the vacation? What fun!
As bad as things are, every time Barack "works" on the economy, it ends up being a bunch of freebies to the lazy, entitled class that we're paying for, or some useless, expensive "stimulus" initiative that drives us even deeper into recession.
Perhaps we're all better off if Barack just keeps on taking vacations.
To them, “sacrifice” means ordering Prime Rib instead of Chateaubriand................
If 0bummer declares amnesty for illegals by executive fiat he is thinking two terms.
And in 4 months...they’ll be off to Hawaii...
Maybe they just see the future and are taking of advantage of the situation while they can... Won’t be long that the “people” will not allow such extravagances!
He be gettin’ while the gettin’ is good.................
I envy you. We’ve been hit hard with customers who don’t pay and employees that don’t do their job.
Man,I must be doing something wrong. Either that or I like work way too much.
I haven’t had 5 vacations in 4 years.
