Obama Faces Perils of the Presidential Getaway

[TexanMike]

The election has NOTHING to do with this criticism.

[NWsubmom]

Now is not a GOOD TIME for America to have Barack Obama as our POTUS.

[baraxor]

George W Bush went HOME to his ranch. Barack Obama has no real home, hence he goes to posh Martha's Vineyard with the other champagne lefties.

If the President needs a vacation to unwind, he can stay at Camp David...we're already paying for it.

[RamenReturns]

@baraxor Would you like some cheese with your whine?

[baraxor]

@RamenReturns

No, thanks, you've obviously cut the cheese enough times

[RamenReturns]

@baraxor Really? Really??? Wow.

[NWsubmom]

I don't ever want to hear liberals ever again attacking republicans about vacations the way they did with BUSH. Hypocrites.

[RamenReturns]

@NWsubmom But George W Bush took triple the number of vacation days as Obama has by this time in his presidency. Hypocrisy isn't the issue, it's that you and your Fox-new watching buddies are utterly ignorant and embarrassing.

[NWsubmom]

So glad HE can get away from it all while the REST OF AMERICA CAN'T!

[hawkermustang]

@NWsubmom No kidding!

[joekiddone]

Our so-called “leader” needs to come out from under his campaign/vacation umbrella -- it‘s raining cold hard flash mob violence out here. Let’s just hope Obama isn’t allowing this issue to fester because he drinks “from the cup of bitterness and hatred” Dr. King warned us about...

[RamenReturns]

@joekiddone You would know all about that cup of bitterness and hatred, you've displayed that well here

[joekiddone]

@RamenReturns Like many Americans, I know of Dr. King's legacy. Thank God.

Unfortunately, it seems our self-proclaimed "post-racial" prez doesn't. Nor you... Peace. Out.

[RamenReturns]

@joekiddone Jesus is a myth.

[joekiddone]

Obama told America his “laser beam-like focus” produced another cool plan creating-or-saving more jobs -- but that it’s unveiling would have to wait until AFTER his vacation was over. But we know his plan: Waste taxpayer funds on nothing except union coffers and new “recovery” signs. Or a tee-shirt saying “Obama spent another trillion and all America got was a lousy shirt the government already took off their back.” No word yet on whether Obama has flash mob campaign stops planned. Stay tuned...

[joekiddone]

Obama had embarked on another one of his never-ending campaign swings -- allegedly -- with the goal of luring back rural white middle class voters now fleeing him in droves. Sadly, the self-proclaimed “post-racial” prez chose not to get out in front of the news that flash mob violence was occurring across the country. Instead, Obama used his bully pulpit literally, spewing lies and stirring his pot of Hate, before corporate-jetting off (naturally) to Martha’s Vineyard! Talk about “tone deaf”...

[joekiddone]

Once upon a time there was this tone deaf prez who HAD to have something to balance out his lifestyles-of the-rich-and-famous vacation he had been intent on taking. So Obama went off on a “three-day tour” to conduct what his minions in the media called “official presidential business.” Then Gilligan, er, I mean, Obama toured middle America...on a Canadian-made Greyhound One. Wow. Talk about being “tone deaf.”

[megamaniac76]

14 more months and Obama can vacation at Martha's Vinyard all he wants

[SoulPower00]

People who are saying the guy needs a break need a reality check. I've seen doctors, lawyers, soldiers, and all kinds of people sacrifice vacations, anniversaries, the birth of their children, etc in order to fulfill their honorable duties. When you have a country where every day millions of people are struggling without a job, why would you take a vacation, let alone one subsidized by tax payer money???

[RamenReturns]

@SoulPower00 He works for the government, it's not a "subsidy." And yeah people need to take a vacation, you obviously have no idea how busy being president is. If you want an effective president (sounds like you really don't) he's going to have to take some time to collect his thoughts sometimes.

[SoulPower00]

@RamenReturns if you want an effective presidency, then let's not stop at getting Obama out of the White House for vacation. Let's get him out of the White House for good.

[RamenReturns]

@SoulPower00 You have recited your Fox News talking points well, padawan!

[TuskAmerica]

@SoulPower00

Please stop making sense SP, Liberal heads all over America will explode if you keep it up.

[RamenReturns]

@TuskAmerica Obama has spent just 61 days on vacation during 31 months in office. For the sake of comparison, George W. Bush had racked up 180 days at his Crawford, Texas, ranch at the same point in his presidency, and Ronald Reagan had logged 112 days at his ranch in California. (At the other end of the spectrum, Bill Clinton had taken only 28 vacation days 31 months into his first term.).

No, they won't.

[captquest1]

@RamenReturns But, Obama and Michelle have the most expensive record so far. And in a bad economy.

Bush has the record number of vacations, but how many were as extravagant as this? Bush spent most of his at his ranch were he did much work as well.

[RamenReturns]

@captquest1 Did you know they took the word "gullible" out the dictionary? It's true, look it up!

[mariaseahorse]

Ron Paul.

[ggrammajudy99901]

There are a lot of Americans that would love to go on a vacation and spend time with their families like those dying for their country overseas...

[oygp]

@ggrammajudy99901 Why so much senseless bias against Obama. I will never understand you old people.

[wolfgangfaust]

Blahblah Oblahblah needs to GO AWAY-AND STAY THERE.

pray for FedStoogeOne-PSALM 109:8

[andrespereyda]

@achzdck oops, go eat some mushrooms man. you make your own reality out of your beliefs. just create the life you want instead of arguing with the system

[andrespereyda]

I imagine it can be stressful being in that position, always concerned about people's reaction. I wish more people would realize that the economy is a reflection of people's sentiment. If people in general had a more positive outlook, that reality would be created and reflected.

[ggrammajudy99901]

@andrespereyda It wouldn't be so stressful if he had any idea what he was doing! Perhaps if he even knew how to find an adviser with just a little bit of commonsense we could have a little more positive outlook...

[andrespereyda]

@ggrammajudy99901 i'm sure you could do a better job. enjoy your life

[ballershanelle]

Wow, federal workee cant take a 10 day vacation after working. I guess congress should be ashamed with a 30day break. smh, I suppose his young kids deserve not to see him or vacation. Amazing, they keep lying about his days, though. Vote in a new congress so we can get back to working together

[andrespereyda]

@ballershanelle all ov us just work together now, starting with relaxing our ego. were all one no matter what anyway

[cdjo23]

Obama haters make America look bad and the world is laughing at them; it's very sad. The t'baggers are also traitors to this country!

[andrespereyda]

@cdjo23 just be the change you want

[cdjo23]

@achzdck lolol, jealous! Get a life clown!

[AtheistDaddy]

@achzdck just like you the tea party is NOT racist. You give Americans a bad name.

[schwartsbruder]

Ron Paul all the way! END THE FED.

[i8hy6e3]

i don't want to work

[imbubba56]

It's just one big vacation for the Marxist-in-Chief and the Big Wookie...

[thechangeling613]

Even an illegal president needs a vacation from sectarian baby killing. Gosh.

[derberg19486]

Every President takes holidays. Remember George W he boasted about reading at least a DOZEN books a week, but he had the time Dick C ran the country.

[Leonnidik]

You need to bring the troops back and it will save billions for tax payers. Also, send the billions in foreign aid to the states, there's someone at the pharmacy who can't afford the medication.

[Stinkpoppa]

@Leonnidik Ron Paul vows to bring the troops home .. Vote Ron Paul 2012 V V V

[Josephdaz1]

Must watch video >> watch?v=7BaylVcfm88

[avmcokiejohn]

This is ridiculous. A president doesn't call congress back. The congress calls a president to explain his actions. But this congress bows to presidential orders as if they are his subjects. Until we have a congress that assumes their rightful place in the hierarchy of the US government they will continue to be the surfs this congress has proven to be. Vote them all out of office if you want anything to change for the better.

[bahamaboy25]

Just take a Break Obama Than Come Back To Work Everyone Needs A Break...

[cazyblood3]

Yeah, but none of these schmucks is going to do anything but vote for obama in 2012. Their remorse ends at the point of actually admitting that their progressive ideology is wrong. Most of these fools are complaining not that he has been wrong but that he has failed to bring them a progressive Utopia.

[cazyblood3]

I was there when the networks declared that Obama was the next president. People cried and hugged. I got teary myself. A black president. The times they are a-changing.

Indeed. They keep getting worse.

. . . So here we are almost 31/2 years into his presidency. We’re still in Iraq, still in Afghanistan. The economy is still in the Dumpster. U.S. credit has been downgraded. We’ve got a half-baked health care reform law that is being challenged. The middle class is still getting crushed.

[cazyblood3]

all obama cares about is his job because he loves the million $ paychecks

[cazyblood3]

We can shout at each other over whether he's actually up to the job, but not about whether he's willing to make the ideological sacrifices necessary to do it successfully. He is so determined to transform the nation into his own ideal that he's still pushing the same class-warfare nonsense he did three years ago, though now his record makes his aim more obvious.

[drefish99]

This sickens me. They guy obviously has lost touch with the people. Even after his costly 3 day bus tour.

[cazyblood3]

But strip away even that contention, and the facts are still the facts. The world is spinning dangerously out of control and America is edging closer to the abyss by the day. Yet amidst a global crisis of confidence, the chair in the Oval Office is empty, our leader pretending he's engaged and relevant when he's merely aiming to keep his job.

[cazyblood3]

Although 25 million Americans -- 25 million! -- are in want of a full-time job, our president is stuck in political navel gazing. He has a pronounced fetish for self-reverence and, according to many eyewitness accounts, regards himself as not just the smartest man in every room, but also the only moral one.

[Dpearrow]

@cazyblood3 All you did there was copy/paste a Newyork post article. Why don't you educate yourself on the real number of unemployed rather than regurgitate that circle jerk of an article said?

[763873]

IMPEACH

[bahamaboy25]

@763873 how can we impeach him on what grounds... Because he's Black Aww u are so laim

[Josephdaz1]

@bahamaboy25 That's " lame" and stop with the racist comments.  If you were informed you'd know the reasons and there's more than one.

[bahamaboy25]

@Josephdaz1 your kind been wanted him to fail but being black its nothing new we dont stay down for long we get knock down to get back up even stronger sorry jim crow

[Josephdaz1]

@bahamaboy25 Your kind? He's already failed .. get a grip and go have a Happy Meal!

[bahamaboy25]

@Josephdaz1 he failed in who eyes only urs, everybody know that the republicans cant stand a chance to go against Obama.. The polls show he's lost approval rates but all of america didnt vote those polls ever heard never count the eggs before it hatches? Black power over all bitches..

[Josephdaz1]

@bahamaboy25 Listen Bahama Momma .. I can see by your comments that your grammar is under consideration. All joking aside .. did you graduate high school? In any event read these and then come back and talk to me: The US Constitution .. The Bill Of Rights .. and The Declaration of Independence. Read the executive orders Obama has signed and see how your rights are being taken away. Obama will not bring our troops home he will only start more wars. Up to you if you want to pick a LOOSER!

[bahamaboy25]

@Josephdaz1 one thing about white folks U TALK TO DAMN MUCH and yet not saying anything

[edtheball69]

@bahamaboy25

Congress did not approve the war in Libya he is a war criminal he went to war with a zionist UN mandate and didnt put it to congress this means he UN run congress and the USA wake up people.

[763873]

@bahamaboy25 Get off his dick already ,Obama is nothing but a jim crow dancing for his zionist masters, Everywhere he travels the bows down and kisses all them white foreign leader's ring fingers like a true uncle tom. Why is he supporting the Lybian rebels that are Lynching all the blacks they see on sight?? What type of "black leader" would do that?

[capucchan8]

first there is the tax payer funded bus trip (in a Bus made in CANADA) and now he goes on vacation, not quite the 30 days at a ranch but still pretty bad

[Archangelshithead2]

This guy is such a joke Ron Paul 2012

[tfhgw921]

fuck that nigar.i am not ganna vote him agian............

[thegroove2000]

He is guilty of war crimes and treason.

[1XMarksSpot]

All Obama has done is spit hot air, lie, play golf, go on vacations, and campaign. 

[cazyblood3]

The magic is gone. Obama's campaign team has bared its strategy: attack, attack, attack whomever the GOP nominates. Vote your fears, not your hopes.

But wait -- the president has a plan to create jobs and deal with the debt, the White House declares. Finally, in the 32nd month of his presidency, he's going to show his cards.

[cazyblood3]

That's not what he had in mind, yet it's the only accomplishment of his misbegotten adventure. The highlights are his expensive motorcade rumbling through Iowa corn fields not far from GOP candidates, and stopping so he can squabble with Tea Partiers, propose more taxes, and blame everybody else for everything that's happened on his watch.

[DeathDOer01]

OBAMA FAKE AND GAY

[VernonKrudlik]

Obama is a fraud and a liar. Someone who misrepresented who and what he was to get into office, then lacked the political acumen and skills to be an effective politician to attempt to enable even his fundamentally flawed view of how modern democracy works.

And now must go around the country peddling his sad excuse for a presidency to Americans who are jobless, homeless, on food stamps and without health care.

Note to Obama, Lilly Ledbetter is only going to get you so far.

[LetsTalkPolitix]

Why isn't the video resonse I just posted showing up which is a 21 second documentation of the fact that the 3.3 trillion in backdoor bailout report from Bloomberg was censored by the Internet kill switching FED

[LetsTalkPolitix]

SEE MY CHANNEL FOR INTERNET KILL SWITCHES IMPLEMENTED ON BEHALF OF THE FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM. THEY'RE DOING THIS TO KEEP YOU FROM FINDING OUT ABOUT THE TRILLIONS IN BACKDOOR BAILOUTS PLUS THE FACT THAT THEY CENSORED THE TRILLIONS IN BACKDOOR BAILOUTS TO FOREIGN BANKS

[floatingcompassmedia]

sucks to be him

[DeWellstein]

@max1news2 every elected politician is a joke.

[NWOTruther]

He takes more breaks than he does fix actual issues. And actual issues are a second priority to him.

[olgadel1]

@NWOTruther What issues has he fixed? Rhetorical question. I agree!

Those buses he is cruising around in were built in Canada. He tells us he is creating or saving jobs? Maybe in Canada. He has saved or created more jobs in China.

[NWOTruther]

@olgadel1 I don't disagree with anything you have said.

Technically he acknowledges any issues we have but truly never fixes them. He makes them worse.

[Searching4Truth1]

"When the president accuses the Republicans of putting party over country, and at another stop he said they want America to fail so they will succeed politically. That is a sophisticated way of essentially accusing the Republicans of near-treasonous behavior.

Now, of course, he's sophisticated and practiced and articulate, so he won't use the word the way that Perry did. But it's the same idea." ~C Krauthammer

Exactly so; plus BHO & the DNC sound-bites attacking Americans as 'terrorists'
