Critics Hit Obama's Martha's Vineyard Vacation

May he rest in peace knowing God has the solutions to all the problems. With counter-terrorism adviser John Brennan, national security adviser Denis McDonough and senior advisor and assistant to the president for Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs, Valerie Jarrett, hopefully they can put this information together and see a picture of peace, security, unity and true prosperity and freedom.
Their best strategy is to put God in the discussions and decisions:
FOREIGN AFFAIRS:
God is against nations joining together for protection, provision and control etc.
He frustrates, confuses and destroys their plans (G-20, UN, EU, NATO, Quartet)
(Psalm 1 and 2, II Chronicles 16:7-12; 20:35-37; Leviticus 26, Isaiah 8:9-14; 30:1-7)
The United Nations, European Union and NATO organizations are unconstitutional and violate our First Amendment rights in the US Constitution. They establish a religion of rules; and prevent our free exercise of religion by establishing “human rights laws, acceptable behavior and united forces etc.” contrary to God’s word.
It forces citizens to pay expenses for travel to meetings and to interact with their programs; and amounts to bowing before foreign governments, accepting their leadership over our own government. The agreements are counter-productive to their stated peaceful and helpful objectives because God prohibits them and destroys their plans. We must not be tied to them.
COUNTER-TERRORISM – UNITY - PEACE
One God gave one Law for all. God’s commanded Days of No Work (Sabbaths) in Exodus 20 (Ten Commandments) and Leviticus 23 (memorial feasts – without animal sacrifices now). Primary message to prophet Muhammad recorded in the Qur’an is to tell the people to follow the whole Bible, Torah and Gospel. Jesus said to live by every word of God. None of the religions follow in truth as written and that causes conflicts and divisions. (Qur’an, Ahmadiyya Numbers: 5.68, 69; 42.14-16; Judge by Torah and Gospel: 5.43-51) (Bible: Matthew 4:4; Luke 16:31; Deuteronomy 4:2, 8:3; Leviticus 23, 26; Exodus 20).

General Patraeus said, “If the U.S. succeeds and Afghanistan stabilizes, the country could become the region's new "Silk Road" with the potential to extract trillions of dollars worth of minerals.” This is the US-NATO goal and the problem before President Obama came to office and after. The goal is not a vibrant economy with multitudes in enslavement to employment; it is about peace and security. Peace, security, unity and true prosperity and freedom are available, but only with God’s word. God is His word, and His word is God. If God be God, follow Him.

I saw on MSNBC that Obama was about to board the 747 jumbo jet to fly up to Martha's Vineyary on Vacation. Tell me, which commercial airline uses a 747 to fly from Washington to Boston? Any CEO of a commercial airline that would approve using a 747 to fly a 200 - 300 mile route would be fired before the day is out. Couldn't Obama use the 757 used by Michele to fly to Spain on her vacation? Pardon me, your majesty.

President Obama recently ordered two corned beef sandwiches in Columbus Ohio. Why not some gulf shrimp? What if I told you eating gulf shrimp was like chewing razor blades or swallowing glass!
The PAH in the dispersants combined with oil doubles the amount of PAH in fish. Fish are visible members of aquatic communities that are vulnerable to PAH contamination. How about the Epidemiological evidence on the relationship between polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) and cancer! You can't taste PAH.
Rescue workers cleaning up the Ground Zero after 9-11-2001 attacks were told it wouldn't bother them, more of our citizens have been infected with cancer and respiratory disease.
How about the soldiers that got sick in the Iraq war with depleted uranium (DU)ammo that is uranium primarily composed of the isotope uranium-238. How about Agent Orange in Vietnam and finally the US Coast Guard appealing the 2004 Massachusetts Tug Boat Escort Law that prevents oil spills
Does the government tell us the truth and why not?

"Really, the Bush thing is so tired and weak."
You can't be that naive. $4.2 trillion not including the planned bailout?
85% of the national debt racked up under three Republican presidents?
You can't be that myopic, can you?
President Bush nearly destroyed America; it is simply unpatriotic to ignore the extent of the damage.
Wake up.
And, for the record, as of early July, President Obama had taken 65 vacation days versus President Bush's 120.

Really, the Bush thing is so tired and weak. It's almost been 2 years since Obama took over it, stop the blame game because no one is buying it any more.

Presidents don't get "vacations".Not with the anchor of the Office around their necks. They are 24/7 on duty and as humans deserve some time to engage in human activities and enjoy some relaxation even while subject to "immediate recall". As for "Another Vacation", the current "ruinning" (even if intentionally misspelled) of the country began 9 years ago and was left to run unchecked regardless of the signs.
Complacency, ignoring corporate greed and refusal to address these among other issues during the past administration has placed the country in a precarious situation with all the talking heads, pundits,and experts bitching WITHOUT any solutions offered.
I actually believe the slide began in 1964.

This is such journalistic fluff, even for US News.

I don't think it's proper to say that Bush's 69 days is acceptable or unacceptable. Despite that fact, what does it have anything to do with Obama's vacation schedule? Last time I checked, it's been 2 years since Bush was in office so move on. Presidents don't take weekends off, they take mini-vacations. In a time of growing joblessness and hardship, a talking point in which Obama based his campaign, it does send an irritating message to those of us middle-class folks that can't afford it. Don't get me wrong, I'm not against a president taking a vacation because, let's face it, none of us REALLY have a clue how stressful the job can be. I just think it's funny how everytime your precious savior is criticized, democrats immediately scour the internet for a 'Bush-rebuttle'.

Five days of campaigning, followed by ten days of vacation...who is running (or should we say ruinning) the country??? When more than half of the US took no vacation this year because of the economy..come on...Even those who want to support the President can't get a grip on this? The President is elected for four years...he should give it his All for that time...not live the life of luxury...

George W. Bush set the record for the most days on vacation during his first year in office (69 full or partial days, 9 trips to his ranch), a level of inattention that led to the deaths of thousands of Americans and two wars.
PappyHappy, it's obvious that you wouldn't have voted for a Democrat regardless of what Mr. Obama would have said about the mosque or anything else.
