Already planning to spend 15 days vacationing at a sprawling oceanside resort home in Martha's Vineyard, President Obama has told the town that he is coming a day early, arriving Friday evening.
[Snip]
The Vineyard Gazette reports that the first family will be staying for the second year at the Chilmark home of Obama and Hillary Clinton contributor Joanne Hubschman on secluded North Road. Photos show it is equipped with a large infinity pool, a tennis court and comes with a huge sandy beach. The 17-room home is worth about $12 million.

The poor overworked Wee Wee ... needs a vacation ... from all those other vacations ... and from you-know-who ... and as long as you poor tax-paying slobs are footing the bill ... why not?

Any chance of a Cat 5 hurricane hitting the Vineyard this week or next?

....Um, he will NEED a day early start after seeing the reviews coming from tonight’s headliner GOP debate. Could it be a certain Mr. Trump that takes the keys to the WH when he leaves?

How nice!
How nice for vacationers who can’t just roam freely.
How nice for downtowners to move for him when he decides to stop at his fav ice cream store.
How nice for DC not to have him there!

Just wait until Michelle Obama announces a big family vacation across the globe in the summer of 2016 just before her taxpayer junkets will come to an end.

Isn’t it really more like their 240th Vacation?
Or maybe the author meant their 40th THIS YEAR.

Off to their Dacha. They’ve earned their time away from the proletariat scum for all the wonderful equality and redistribution he has brought upon them.
Or, in other terms “I got mine, it’s good to be the king”.
I fantasize about a Louis XVI moment, but mind you only fantasize knowing that it will never happen.

I bet the people who own cottages on Martha's Vineyard are pissed. The best time to go is in the summer and especially in July and August when the water is the warmest. And they have to put up with him and his entourage which means their vacations will suck. Can't go get ice cream, can't go to eat, can't go to the beach with his itinerary getting in their way.
Next summer he will probably confiscate the entire island.
