Obama's Vineyard Vacation Will Cost Taxpayers Millions

the Carney comments in time in 2001 juxtaposed against his comments today are exactly what is to be expected from these smarmy, cynical, self-important, mental midgets....I agree with the comment that says just stay gone..I have never been so ashamed of my President (and that includes Nixon and Clinton)....these guys have to go and the sooner the better for us all.

"I don't think any American will fault him for getting away, especially if he comes back with some fresh ideas on how to create jobs."
Actually we do fault him and Mooch-ele. Seems all these people do is party and vacation, in between fund raisers and golf each and every weekend. Exactly how much time he spending on the nations business when he has a full schedule of golf, parties, political speeches, and fund raisers that obviously take priority?
Each time they take off it costs us millions of dollars. We're broke and deeply in debt. Broke people don't throw lavish parties, or go on vacations every couple of weeks. It's disrespectful and contemptuous (of the rest of us) for the Obama's to be living large on our dime while we're struggling just to get by. No "shared sacrifice" there, no thoughts of economy or austerity. How many poor people could be fed with the monies they're burning on living a jet set lifestyle?
Adding insult to injury, the money they're spending on themselves is borrowed Chinese money.

To quote Marie Antoinette before the French revolution "let the the poor slobs eat cake"
Switch Marie's name with Obama and the quote brings us to a another asinine era in this country

Will Michelle make it back from her Oregon vacation in time to go to Martha's Vineyard? You bet the house on it. She never misses a plush, expensive vacation. They manage to take their long time friends and family with them on their vacations. Since her family and friends were with her in Oregon, maybe she will wait until December's Hawaii vacation to take them there. Don't bet on it. Parasites.

He goes on a multimillion dollar vacation while most Americans are hot, unemployed and broke. Plus Moochelle is a threat to Lobster population since she stuffs herself with 73 lobster at a single sitting.
What a bunch of leeches and parasites.!!!

Of course not. But, that result is so far-fetched in terms of happening.
His undergrad is political science, his graduate degree is in law, and his background is in community agitation. That is not a receipe for economic genius.
