Most can't afford a vacation; Obama will jet to Martha's Vineyard
WTKK-FM | 7/19/11

Posted on 07/19/2011 6:47:44 AM PDT by pabianice

Per WTKK news --

56% of families that usually take a summer vacation cannot afford to this year and will be taking "staycations" at home. Meanwhile, The White House has announced that the Obama family will again head to Martha's Vineyard with an entourage of over 200 people (including scurity, cooks, butlers, staff, etc.), requiring half a dozen Air Force and Marine Corps aircraft, to stay at a $50,000/week mansion that will cost over $1,000,000/week in your tax money all told.

Obama -- he feels your pain.

I wonder if Jaws is in the area.


Some members of my extended family were vacationing on Martha’s Vineyard at that time, and actually appear as extras in those beach panic scenes. They never went back though as they found the island too heavily over-populated with Leftist cretins.

$40-44.00 for a few short ribs? I’ll but a chunk of beef tenderloin(for less) and make my own dinner ;-)

“her most horrid dress to date”

Didn’t that dress receive hallowed comments from the fashion community? lol

...a potato sack with a twine belt would have looked more attractive.

I could be wrong—but I think short ribs are one of the cheaper cuts of beef.

We just wrapped up a 4700 mile road trip from California thru the upper and lower midwest......the lack of RV’s and trailers was shocking.

I remember when Bush went home in August to the ranch to be just a TX rancher again and the BIG DEAL made over that.

Well Baraq wanted “European” levels of gas pricing.

He got his wish.

I like the Senior Menu Fish and Chips at Carrows for $7.95.
I take my Aunt or my Dad with me and use the 50% off the second entree coupon, which covers the tip. You do have to buy two beverages though.

In Obamaville, if there isn't a discount coupon, it isn't on my Daily Schedule. As long as Obama is in office, the coupon printing business will be thriving.

Maybe on Daisy Duke or Ellie Mae Clampett, but not on Moochelle.
