According to local reports, roadblocks surrounding the Obama vacation mansion in Martha’s Vineyard are frustrating locals, who can’t get to their businesses. “August is our make it or break it month,” Vineyard Artisans Festivals manager Andrea Rogers said to the Vineyard Gazette, “So this is the worst possible time of the year to block access. It impacts a lot of people.” Obama’s vacation week coincides with the heaviest time of the year in Martha’s Vineyard, known as Fair week.

Patrick Jenkinson, who co-owns a gas station, says he “really rel[ies] on this third week in August, especially Fair week…We do as much business in that one week as we do in three weeks in February. But we’re way down from what we usually get in sales, more than 15 to 20 percent.” Jenkinson called the visit “extremely intrusive.

Of course I was talking about the high tea crowd who live there. There are many folks who actually work for a living (and who, like their counterparts on the Cape) look forward to Labor Day Weekend every year.

Yes, indeed. As a good Christian woman, I am struggling mightily with imminent schadenfreude.

From Politico 2012 election results for Dukes County (Martha's Vineyard)

Obama 7,955 (72.9%)
Romney 2,789 (25.6%)

I guess the Romney voters own most of the businesses there.

I have friends who are full time residents on the Vineyard who are flaming, social justice seeking, hybrid driving liberals. We have been friends for nearly 60 years, since our own parents were friends. Of course, we never discuss politics when we are there. I keep hope alive that Mr. RightField and I will eventually have some positive influence on their politics. Call me an optimist.

To protest, maybe they could dress up a mannequin on their front lawn as a clown and put a mask on it.

I know why. Ugly is, as ugly does. Buttgly is what I call her. Ugly inside and out, with a big butt that she continues to stick in everyone’s business.

“Baloonbutt” and odumbo could care less about the problems their presence creates as they lavishly vacation on our money. Their days are numbered.
