Picking up on a nugget (my tweet) surprisingly included in a Wednesday Boston Globe article, on Thursday night FNC’s Bret Baier reported in his “Grapevine” segment: “President Bush is apparently more popular than President Obama on Martha's Vineyard – at least when it comes to clothing.” Baier relayed the day the First Family arrived on the Massachusetts island:
When the First Family vacationed there last year, Obama-themed trinkets were flying off the shelves. Now, the owner of a store called the Locker Room says this summer's best-selling shirt features Mr. Bush. And even Democrats are buying it. It reads: “Miss Me Yet? How's that Hopey-Changey Thing Working Out for Ya?”
In an August 18 Globe story, “Vineyard buzzes less for Obamas’ second visit,” Milton J. Valencia reported on the Oak Bluffs store:
...One barometer of the plunge in excitement has been the sale of Obama-themed T-shirts, which designers had been banking on after the craze of last year. Clothing labeled with the president’s name sold by the thousands, helping to salvage a tough economic year for the island. But this year’s T-shirt sales are much less brisk, merchants say.
“Last year, Obama gave you goose bumps, but I don’t think you’re going to see that this year,’’ said Alex McCluskey, co-owner of the Locker Room, who sold more than 4,000 “I vacationed with Obama’’ T-shirts last year. But so far this year, he said, his hot item is T-shirts of former President Bush asking, “Miss me yet?’’...
Boy....it would be a good time for a “Miss Me Yet” parade.
“I vacationed with Obama, and all I got was this lousy burkha”
“President Bush is apparently more popular than President Obama on Martha’s Vineyard.”
While unlikely the trend is encouraging...........
not many here may agree with me, but i miss Bill Clinton, man i wish those days were back. Obama makes Clinton misdeeds look like small potatoes.
LOL
Is that Michelle up on the balcony practicing “ the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain?”
Heck, I even rather we have President Hilary!
Why do all dem presidents vacation on Martha’s Vineyard?
I’d wager 0bama probably hadn’t set foot there before he was in office.
Yes I can see that, one thing Clinton’s are pragmatic versus dogmatic, they know how to play the game. Obama (et al the ones pulling his strings) on the other hand has made it his mission to destroy the country.
Hell I would have settled for a McCain presidency
Maybe he gave you goosebumps, masshole, but he gave me a headache
Yes I do!
LOL!
