The first family is returning this summer to Martha’s Vineyard, the third time the Obamas have vacationed on the exclusive Massachusetts island in the past four years.

President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama will arrive August 10 and stay through August 18, the White House said earlier this month.

The vacation is drawing some criticism about the president relaxing among the rich and famous while drastic cuts to the federal budget known as sequester kick in with full force, including the start this month of furloughs for 85 percent of the Defense Department’s civilian workforce.

Yet another vacation. Rome is burning, Mr. President. Apparently you don't care.

The arrogant, ruling elite shows its scorn for the common folk.

Isn’t the Trayvon ruckus a nice distraction?

It’s good to be King................

Caligula, Nero, Caesar, Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, the Muslim Brotherhood, Castro, Chavez, etc. are alive and well in the heart and house of POTUS Barack Hussein Obama!!!

Oh, you guys... let’s be ‘fair’...

They’re ONLY going to Martha’s Vineyard this time. Why, they’re practically SLUMMING!

The first family is certainly tightening the belt and suffering through with the rest of us!

I think the Alinskyite POTUS took a crisis and used it to distract and divert attention. He has a huge scandal about to lay the hammer down... IRS...and wants attention drawn elsewhere.

Y'know ... sometimes kids on vacation just want to do nothing but sit around and watch TV in the AC.

Sometimes REAL kids want to get dirty and fight

Sometimes girls just HAVE to have a good "ain't not either ... Is so too" fight with someone else besides your sister.

Sasha and Malia have been dragged all OVER the world while mommy and daddy try to find the best burger and fries of that particular nation

I always feel bad for the kids .... except when they grow up and become mommy and daddy ... then I cry for us.

Couldn’t put Humpty together again.

This is indicative of the trash that's currently residing at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The only difference between the Obama’s and EBT users who swipe their cards on cruise ships is the balance on Obama’s card is much, much higher.

Shouldn’t that read “Worst” family?

[ThomasMore]

How about the “Worst First”!

[JohnBrowdie]

let them eat cake.

I haven’t had a vacation in, well, can’t remember when yet these clowns have had a 5 year vacation on my dime.

They just got back from a 2-3 week vacation in Ireland and then all over Africa. What do they dare? It is just white people’s money.

[Blood of Tyrants]

dare = care
