Obama arrived at his home in Chicago on Friday, and treated wife Michelle to a Valentine's Day dinner downtown last night. The couple was spotted leaving upscale Table Fifty-Two, which specializes in Southern cuisine, with the first lady toting what appeared to be a doggie bag. ...

I used to wonder what it would be like to live in a Third World country where the leader's picture was plastered everywhere and he spent his time cavorting. Now I know.

He pushed through 30 years of the Democrats agenda in one bill... he deserves a vacation.

“I used to wonder what it would be like to live in a Third World country where the leader’s picture was plastered everywhere and he spent his time cavorting. Now I know.”

True, and the third world part is coming soon. Hopefully, we’ll still have the cojones to have those revolutions that Jefferson was talking about before the transition is complete.

excerpt:

The president plans to spend the Presidents’ Day weekend in the Windy City, and is not expected to sign the bill until Tuesday, when he travels to Denver to discuss his economic plan.

Both the House and Senate passed the bill Friday night.

The push to get the bill through before the holiday weekend was so frantic, members of Congress didn’t have a chance to read all 1,071 pages of the document before they could vote.

He’s also, like all Third World “leaders,” NO CLASS. Him and the wife he rode in on.

The title you created is cute, but retitling articles is a no-no.

There’s something “haunting him” in that Whitehouse. Plan for the unexpected.

Five weeks ago (Christmas) he was at that lavish resort in Hawaii. You know, where they don’t have Christmas trees. Which reminds me, have we figured out yet which church the lovely couple belong to in DC?

Whatever media I was viewing was very critical of him and his “overt casualness”..Saying he should at least “Act Presidential.

Yes, the rigors of the Presidency. After 24 days on the job, he has to get away to relax.
At least they didn’t show us what Michelle O was wearing...

“He pushed through 30 years of the Democrats agenda in one bill... he deserves a vacation.”

Too painfully true for most of us to admit. Spin off the legislation by individual topics—health care, schools, the environment, etc.—and it would look like some record first month in office. Oh, the pain in even thinking about it!

The comments after the article are a hoot. Some folks really unsheathe their sarcasm and get medieval on Zero.
