The president and vice president will ring in the new year at two distant island resorts:
With President Barack Obama and family vacationing at a resort in his native Hawaii, the White House announced this morning that Vice President Joe Biden is bound for:
The U.S. Virgin Islands.
Biden and family will be away today through Jan. 3, the White House says, adding that "no public events are scheduled.''
(Biden, by the way, was born in Scranton.)

Can they stay on vacation for a long time? That way they won't screw-up the country

Four Million people have lost their jobs since obama took office, unemployment is over 10%, teenage unemployment is a staggering 50%,and home forclosures are at an all time high.
So one goes to Hawaii and the other to the U.S. Virgin Islands to vacation.
Yep, we got change we can believe in...and it's nauseating.

At least when the Bush' went on vacation, they stayed at thier own properties (Crawford ranch & Kennybunkport home).
This crew eats up Millions of US tax payer dollars to live the high life in Hawaii.
So, why don't they go home to Chicago and relax a bit? You know, let those darling little girls spend time with friends and M & B can relax with their buddies, Rev. Wright the racists and Billy the terrorist.
