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. [See photos of the Obamas behind the scenes.]
This weekend's jaunt was announced after first lady Michelle Obama said during a recent trip to Panama City Beach, Florida that, "One of the best ways that fellow Americans can help is to come on down here and spend some money," She's expected to be joined by the president and 9-year old Sasha. Malia, 12, is away at camp for the first time at an undisclosed location.

The list, ping
The 0bama’s are the lowest of the low.
It’s good to be the king and queen.
Not even Shakespeare could write this bizarre a farce.
The King and Queen are going on vacation again? Amazing. Just amazing.
What a jerk he is taking off on weekends. He should work 7 days a week only. Why doesn’t he do what Bush did and go back to Chicago and work out of his house. Yes people complained about Bush but he did what he wanted.
They need a vacation from vacations. It’s so boring in the White Hut with nothing to do.
Obama the XIV and Michele Antionette ... the let them eat cake regime. Pray for Obama Psalms 109:8
Can we send them on vacation permanently and as far as possible... I can chip in.
I guess that the Obamas are just too stupid and selfish to stop going on vacation on the public dime.It’s only going to further damage the Democrat brand in this years elections.
So evidently to be president you not only don’t have to demonstrate any legal qualifications for the job, but you don’t even need to actually do the job.
He could do anything from there, once security was set, it was set.
By traveling like a shotgun burst all over the world he is working security like dogs. He has no real"outpost" set up, it is a damn 4 year long spring break party with a open expense account.
Gee. Didn't July start like, six weeks ago?
Hey, give Obama a break.
He and Michelle work hard at making life so very, very better for all of us.
So what if he works only occasionally? What he does in that short time has made the US into a paradise on earth, not just now, but for generations to come.
MSM will not touch this — only if it were G. W. and his wife and daughters would this be a BIG deal!!
According to Carl Rove, he doesn’t even show up for work until around 9:00 am.
....living the high life....I suppose they better enjoy every moment before the fulfillment of their Cloward and Piven strategy and the collapse of America as we know it..... =.=
Obama is doing a “Racist Gloat Dance”.
He is laughing at the critism and so are all his Progressive Pals.
He has blown the greatest chance ever given to one human being to be great.
He is the smallest man I’ve ever witnessed alive on planet earth... and that is saying something.
