Obama: `Having a great time' despite vacation rain (Date night with M'antoinette, part deux)

WEST TISBURY, Mass. — The wind, rain and gloom that have curtailed most outdoor activities for the past three days have done little to keep President Barack Obama from enjoying his Martha's Vineyard vacation.

While he's been able to sneak in two rounds of golf, he told reporters Tuesday he's "doing a lot of reading" at the farm compound he's rented for the first family. "I'm having a great time," he said.

The president made the remarks, his first in public since heading out on vacation last week, as he escorted first lady Michelle Obama from the State Road restaurant.

The couple dined out for the second consecutive night, this time with Washington power broker Vernon Jordan and his wife, Ann, as well as Chicago friends Eric and Cheryl Whitaker. White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett also joined the group.

I've given up on MO’s wardrobe . . . but do hope she finds the time to put her hair on.

There is just something weird about the interaction in this family.

Didn't the older daughter just come back from 2 months at camp? Maybe this family likes being apart? Grandma must be tired of being used as a perpetual babysitter. I wonder if she ever gets a break.

Greandma gets a 4 year break mooching off of the United States. Don't worry about Granny.

Believe me, I am not worried about her. The whole crew makes me ill; however, the family dynamics are odd.

I'll never forget Obama telling us in an interview that his kids were not impressed with Air Force One. What kid wouldn't think a ride on AF1 was the coolest? Then again, he was probably lying.

I just cannot imagine any sane woman seeing that whatever it is on a hanger, and thinking how great it would look on her.

She’s in competition with her daughters, imho.

I usually look at what she is wearing and wonder what the heck is going on in her head. But this time I have to wonder what went on in the ‘designer’s’ head. I use the term ‘designer’ loosely. Gads! What a - a - a - —what DO you call that thing??

And MO would wear it?? I think she IS playing with us! That’s the First Lady folks! And I use that term loosely, too.

I completely agree. She dresses too young for a woman in her mid forties. I think she believes she is a fashion model and wears the bizarre outfits 20 something anorexics wear on the runways.

Tweens and teens can get away with that, but not forty-somethings.

Yes. Imho, she’s immature and not terribly bright.

Her clothes would just be sad, except that the fashion columns keep writing about how fashion forward she is - praising her style.... there is no way they would say that if Sarah Palin was wearing the same ridiculous outfits.

Oh my! She's wearing a vintage Mrs. Roper housecoat...with leggings. I haven't seen one of these in years...

She could pick up a few two-packs for really cheap.

Why would anyone admit that their child is NOT impressed with AF1? Because I know why they were raised to hate the USA that is why. They are two future American haters. I hope his ungrateful girls only have two more years to use AF1 and then we can kick them out of the WH on their ass.

The weirdness of this family, I think, has something to do with the fact they they “mingle” by design.

I'll bet ma and pa don't want the kidlets to hear what they talk about, and so you don't see them dining as a family in a restaurant. I'll betchya that the kids and ma dine together with grandma in the kitchen, and obama does not join them. obama is not part of the family equation, except by “design.” And I believe that obama just “tolerates” kids in general. And dogs, And.... Unless he can be the “dog” or the “kid.” It's all about obama, ya know?

They are weird socialists/marxists/revolutionaries/muslims and/or sympathizers. What else could we expect from “them.”

MANchelle is playing with us. She is going to “go ugly” on us first, before we can confirm that she has ugly down pat, and further reinforce her belief that she has ugly taste...

She does not feel attractive, and she is going to beat us to the punch in driving home that fact.

Hate is a ugly thing. It permeates every nook and cranny of our being, if we allow it.

I noticed that too—he looks annoyed. He doesn’t like being bothered by photographers when he’s on “vacation.” I really don’t think he enjoys his job. And Michelle’s outfit looks like the designer ran out of fabric and thru together whatever they had laying around. Awful!

It’s Ramadan. Hussein can’t eat until sundown. Moochie can’t wait that long, so she loads up in the afternoon.

WH chef cooks for the kids down on the Farm.

This explains the vacation “date nights”.

Also, why no one will tell us what he eats. You can bet it’s all halal.
