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.

0bama should go BACK to Hell where he belongs.
Actually, 9:30a.
“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...”
That’s because everyone is pretty scared to part with those shiney dimes they clutch. Four in my family are now out of work and desperately looking for anything.
They won’t be joining the Obamas at the beach other than doing a gig picking up their dog’s “leavings” or any other gainfully employed positions like that since the job market is just awful.
Hmmm...I wonder. Does the Secret Service pick up after the Obama pooch or is there a position open?
You, Sir, have a way with words.
The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.
- Michelle Obama
But obviously, none of it's going to come from her pie!
Scum generally doesn't pick up after themselves or their pooch.
Michelle needs to recoup from her vacation in Spain.
Do your really want this ultra leftist Prezbo hard at work?
I say more vacation, brother!
If anyone should quit for being over worked it should be the person that plans all of these vacations!
Add both houses of Congress to that and it probably would be cheaper.
When did Bush go to Chicago?
More like the queen and the queen.
I wonder if they have already written off 2012, and figure on gettin’ as much as they can before its over...livin’ large (especially Michelle Antoinette) and pilin’ up the bling. The pardons he makes in 2013 will probably exceed the bounds of comprehension.
Ewwww....I don't even want to think about that!!!
A bunch of possibilities surround this scene.
Either, they’re supremely confident that they can ride this gravy train forever because they know something we don’t know,
or, they’re fully aware that this ride is going to end in January and they’re milking it to the max while they can,
or, they’re unaware of the political tsunami rising up and they think they’re entitled,
or, they’re evil and don’t care.
Louis the XI and his lovely bride Marie Antoinette refused to believe that they were in trouble, and even while fleeing they opted to use their gold-covered coach as a getaway car, thinking that nobody would notice, giving rise to the rumor that they were graduates of Ivy League schools.
I believe he mentioned 9:30 AM. What time does he punch out,
11:00 AM on a busy day?
Should be Louis the XVI.
