OAK BLUFFS - Even as an earthquake shook major cities in the Northeast today, President Barack Obama finally looked like a man on vacation, going for a bike ride and to the beach with his family before hitting the links for a game of golf with friends.
As he did last year, the president joined First Lady Michelle Obama, and daughters Sasha and Malia for a bike ride in the 5,100-acre wilderness known as the Manuel F. Correllus State Forest.
Their ride over, the first family was retrieved by a phalanx of ominous-looking vehicles and whisked off to a private beach in Edgartown for a dip in the ocean. Though Hurricane Irene is about to bear down on the East Coast - sorry, ferries off the island before Sunday are booked solid - the skies were brilliant blue yesterday. Taking advantage of the glorious weather, Obama left the beach and made a beeline for Farm Neck, where he joined D.C. powerbroker, Marvin Nicholson, and frequent golfing buddy Eric Whitaker.

Well the family down the street spent time together also, begging for food as the husband has been out of work for over two years and they are about to be thrown in the street.
It’s all about HIM, FIRST, LAST AND ALWAYS HIM.
Gag me with a stinking spoon. Such a waste of knee-pads.
Having been in the wilderness in Idaho, Zambia and Panama, I’m having a tough time imagining any wilderness on Martha’s Vineyard.
…..And it will take one person to write this. My request is very simple and to the point. Mr. Obama get yourself back to work and have congress lower the taxes, close down the EPA, and cut spending. This might put two or 4 million people back to work. In addition, bring work back to the United States, if Mr. Obama would do that I MIGHT vote for him. <- NOTE!-> I will not vote for him because he is a do nothing president>
He is always on vacation even when he is in the oval office he betting on the taxpayers $MONEY$.
It takes a genuine liberal to take a motorcade to/from a bike ride...lecture us on OUR energy use, will he?
