Obama's 27-hour Gulf 'vacation'

Come on, Swamp, if you are going to report a story, try to report the complete story. You failed to state the seconds, though you did mention the hours and minutes, President Obama and his family will be down in the Gulf of British Oil Slicks!!. Please, clean-up your disorderly reporting habits!! Minus that gaffe, you aren't doing to too bad a job, at the Swamp.
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

This visit is an insult to the people of the Gulf region!

The Obama family should of just gone off to New England to spend time with the elite and famous that it appears they are much more comfortable with. Maybe John Kerry could teach the President how to wind surf.

Oooooooo, a whole day!!!! Way to go, Obama family!!!

That trip will include a roundtable discussion between the president and first lady with small business owners about the pace of recovery.
--------------------------------------
Oh this is good. How will the first lady contribute? I know!
The first lady will tell them the recovery will happen quicker if just could get that oil of the lobster tails. Then they would be more like the ones she had in Spain last week.

Well, they're fantastic hypocrites, so this is par for the course!

Once again, it's do as I say not as I do for the Antoinette Obama family.

I forgot to add, God forbid they sully themselves with the slightest hint of any tar.

Good God, what are they thinking? Do they think we're not smart enough to see that they're not "vacationing" in the gulf? That this is just grandstanding until they go to their "real" vacation where only rich people go?

How soon until we can get rid of them....

Hey, let's all take the next two years off. As our fearless leader says, "I do believe at some point you've made enough money."

What the heck, let the government worry about all that debt. Thanks BO.

You know, there's plent of stuff for which Obama can be rightfully criticized. Why do people have to criticize him for going on vacation, or even for staging a photo op that poses as a vacation? Every president has done this kind of stuff. If you want to talk about expensive and opulent, just remember the Kennedys. And so what if the Obamas have expensive tastes, or BO wants to shoot some hoops or play golf? The American People elected a president, not a monk. As long as all this stuff is on the Obamas' dime, the Obamas have every right to do it, and no one has any reason to complain.
.
Spend more time complaining about how Obama's political agendum has resulted in the suspension of American laws. Complain about his runaway spending and futile attempts at controlling an economy beyond government control. Complain about how his legislative agendum kills jobs, retards business growth, and expands government at the cost of individual liberty. Complain about how his runaway spending is going to run us into a financial wall very soon (and even more so than the Democrats have already done with Social Security and Medicare). And you can also complain about his arbitrary and capricious dictatorial methods of taking over government businesses, suspending leases, and so on. If you complain about this stuff, you are on solid ground. All the other stuff is fluff and eye candy; so forget about it.

At first glance, I thought the headline for this piece read "Obama's GUILT Vacation."

Actually, that works rather well, doesn't it?

Just think, if the Republican-Libertarian-T.Baggers had a worthy agenda, a viable candidate and not the Party of No, we would not have the "enlightened", yet, whiny, posts above, excluding, of course, the opener!!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

They will probably be confined to Bay Point and flown on taken by boat to Shell Island where they will not be bothered by the "peons."

Let me guess, they have to fast for 24 hours as part of some religiously observation that day.

How will we be able to tell if the "Tar Baby" Obamas get any oil on them, assuming they even go into the ocean?

I bet more than half of you posting here voted for him....don't be suckers and do it again

Come on Don F. Even the scientist are curious as to all the marshes coming back so soon. Look at the picture with the story. Beaches are clean. Allwas done to make this look as if the Gulf was killed. It is coming back faster than expected. If it needs to be cleaned faster have someone hire the 18% without jobs to do it.

Why not rename Air Force One to White House One since he pretty much spends all his time flying around from place to place to spend more taxpayer money and little to show for it.

Obama Itiniary:
* Land at the gulf.
* Take a few photo shots near water
* Take a few photo shots with the common folks
* Leave gulf
* Arrive at Martha's Vinyard
* NOW, the vacation begins!

remember in november- to drive off the cliff put the car in D!to back away from the cliffR.

That's not even enough time for Barry to kick some A##, nor for Michelle to be proud of her country for the second time in her adult life.

Just what we need. Another pompous speech by our Dear Leader. A whole 27 hours for vacation. I bet he blames his short time her on Bush.

To all you right wingnuts bitching about President Obama vacationing on the Gulf of Mexico: can any of you post links to vacations taken by President Dubya on the Gulf of Mexico during the 8 years he was in office?

So the FIFTH Vacation since June ... goes to FL for a quick stop (photo op) and NOT to Mississippi or Louisiana where thousands were put out of work by Barry and his clowns! Oh so sensittive!!

I am surprised that they are not closing DisneyWorld (at our expense of course) so that the Royal Family can spend time there!

obamas do not care about the people just therselves they are conns,liars,thieves, and iam sure he is illegal they stink

Seriously people. I love the comments but how many of you voted for him? Have you been able to get the last of the Obama/Biden bumper sticker off your car?

I do not like the president personally, nor do I like his policies. I also do not like his wife's face.

It just looks bad. I'm not sure 27 hours in Florida is really any better than not going at all. And, the "round table" discussion will be a photo op with sympathetic plants in the group. For an organization that ran one of the best campaigns in history to get BO elected, they've sure dropped the ball on handling him after the inauguration.

obama goes out of his way to insult Americans every chance he has. Damn fool.

If he wants to make a boost for the area, he should put on his Hawaiian swim trunks and wade in unannounced in the midst of the Sunday afternoon crowd. Instead, he'll probably have them close off a beach from locals and tourists for both days for a photo op, and ruin everyone else's weekend.

TO Don Fitzgerald: ALL OF YOU WHO KEEP CALLING US TEABAGGERS-KHARMA WILL COME BACK AROUND ON YOU-TAKE A LONG WALK OF A SHORT PIER

Let see, two cargo planes, one for taking the limo's and follow cars, one for the secert service, air force one, air force one back up. This stunt will cost over one million dollars for the staff and equipment. Isn't fun to spend other peoples hard earned money

Maybe they'll show their Spain vacation pictures at the round table discussion. All seems too uppity to me.

Is this President ever NOT on vacation?

I'm one enlightened conservative t partier going to S. Florida for all of next week with the wife and kids.

PS: NO IS HONORABLE IN THE FACE OF WRONG - REMEMBER THE WHOLE JUST SAY NO TO DRUGS CAMPAIGN? JUST SAY "NO" TO "O" - OH,

Don,

As soon as you add one word after "Support the Troops", you DON'T!!. We don't need fake support from naive frauds like you.

The first family is going to a location where the beaches have not been affected by the oil spill. The beaches at Panama City Beach are wide open and beautiful and the fish caught from the area is all as safe as always. The first family should be visitng the beaches in Louisana.

Wow , Obama really is a great guy

Cape Cod will be so mad that they will only be up there for 5 days !!!

What time does Bo's flight land?

Pat H -- as a New Englander--we don't need the 1st Family in MA. They can go to Ohio, and orgainze the community, PLEASE!

Pat H -- as a New Englander--we don't need the 1st Family in MA. They can go to Ohio, and orgainze the community, PLEASE!

Another vacation. I'd like to hear a montage of him saying "I will not rest" in regards to every crisis just before he goes golfing. Just another lazy liberal family in Governmnent housing suckling on the teat of free gov't milk all the while his hand is out wanting more.

Then on to Marth's Vineyard for his next vacation for the rich and famous

I think such a gesture, in light of the short time period involved, does more harm than good.

It would be one thing if they hung out for the same time they plan to spend in MV, but here it can't be for more than a photo opp, and a box check that they have appeased the 'little people'

Aren't there people advising BHO that such a move could be considered offensive?

Guess not.

I think I'll go sing at the Lincoln Memorial.

Nov 2010, Nov 2012. Hoe many days is it?

They remind of King Henry the 8th, when he set aside a day to give coins to the poor. Thank you, King and Queen Obama, to bow so low.

Just for the record. There is NO OIL in Panama City so they won't have to worry about getting in the water or smelling the fumes. Panama City is getting the business that the oil ridden areas lost. Mr. President, save our money and skip this photo trip.

I guess calling people "Teabaggers' is the type of enlightened comments the left comes up with. Talk about not being able to defned your own idiotic policies. Grow up!

What another vacation? Mischele musta over done while on vacation if she needs a vacation from her vacation, and THEN we're all off to New England for another 10 day vacation to recoup from the Flordia vacation.

Surprise, surprise! ANOTHER vacation! How much is this going to cost the tax payers this time??? I'm sure he is using the oil spill as an excuse, but I guarantee he will only spend a few minutes talking about the oil spill, and the rest of the time he will chill out and spend hundreds of thousands of dollars of OUR money!! I will be so glad when he is out of the White House! Democrats are supposed to represent the poor Americans! It kills me that Democrats say that Republicans are the ones who blow money and are greedy, but O-BOO-MA has proved that is not the case!

One would hope the Press Secretary could write correctly.

Come on, Gibbs! "You'll see he...???" Get real,

I don't know many who want to see him or his family!!

They can go to Spain or MA and stay at either place eternally.

There are some really stupid posts on this site. "Round table discussion"?

What does that have to do with this article? Making things up is what the republiclowns are good at so keep it up.

Mr. Fitzgerald: Your insulting posts suggest that you lack any real defense of your position. Too bad. Demeaning one's opponents dilutes the integrity and impact of your posts.

Another vacation at tax payer expense? Have these people no shame at all? The guy has already played more rounds of golf than President Bush did in 8 years. Can't wait until November 2010 when the clowns in Congress get kicked out, and then FINALLY, November 2012 when the teleprompter in chief gets voted out of office and he and his family can move back to Kenya.

ANOTHER VACATION??? My god, this really is the Louis XVI, and Marie Antoinette administration.

The White House vacation schedulers deserve tremendous credit for being able to sequence the Obama's never ending serial vacations with no overlap. With Obama on AF1, Michelle on AF2, and their dog on a follow-on aircraft, eliminating scheduling conflicts must require a bank of super-computers. Can anyone in-good-faith justify Michelle's hyper-extravagant overseas jaunts to exotic destinations with dozens of hanger-ons, all at taxpayer expense. Anyone who can condone Michelle's flagrant abuse of the taxpayer's, thus far, good graces is in grave need of a Kool-Aid detox. We can only pray that the Obama in-your-face "joyride" on the taxpayer dime and the concurrent American "nightmare" will end with soon to be initiated impeachment proceedings. Greg Neubeck

Like Rush said today..BHO & Moochelle will show the FL unemployed what a vacation is like!

what a joke
this all just for show, 24 hrs
how much will this cost us
why is she talking with small business, who is the so cal Pres.
2012 can not come fast enough

Just another photo op. This Pretender and his wife have no clue as to how to run anything let alone a country. Why are we even giving him any face time. Another useless trip at the expense of the American taxpayer. Then off to another vacttion on Mrthas Vinyard.

Don from IL, please take your Hussain back as he has destroyed this country just as his losers have destroyed your state.

Don Fitzgerald of IL - you want to support our troops?? Really?? Then quit supporting the man that wants to gut the industrial military complex. What do you think will happen to all of those soldiers if BO gets his way? Maybe we should put you in charge. I am sure you couldn't do worse than the current POTUS.

The height of hypocrisy has been reached by the Imperial's....errr the Obama's. What a bunch of phonies.

do you think anyone will notice the tar on them?

"Let me guess, they have to fast for 24 hours as part of some religiously observation that day." --- No, I think Ramadan fasting only goes until sundown.

"ANOTHER VACATION??? My god, this really is the Louis XVI, and Marie Antoinette administration."

Remember what happen to them.

So it's not so much a vacation as much as it's just a photo op? K just wanted to get that straight. I'm sure Obama will have ample oppurtunity to stuff his face with every kind of food under the sun. That's honestly about the only thing I've seen that he's good at. That and hiding his smoking habits.

Man must have some real gonads, if he can't even bring himself to quit smoking.

I'm sure this is Bush's fault. If it hadn't been for GWB, no valve would have blown. No oil would have leaked and Obama would not have had to go to that god forsaken gulf in the middle of August.

Tar baby?
Uppity?

Wow are you hillbillies racist!!

Hey dickrichardsfromdixmore...The article states "round table discussion", you Dick. Did you read the article or just look at the pictures?

I'm relieved when I see Barry on vaca. The more time he spends frolicking with the rich and famous the less damage he can do to our country. A few hundred grand for a week or another 30 billion bailout? Ill take the vaca. Michelle "let them eat cake" is another matter altogether however. She's a disgrace!

Frankly, I think the Gulf region is far too good for the likes of the plasic president and his equally plastic family. Let them go to Spain and Martha's Vineyard. Phonies, hypocrits and total losers.

TO: White man (really?). Look up the definition of uppity - doesn't say anything about race/racism:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/uppity
–adjective Informal .
1. affecting an attitude of inflated self-esteem; haughty; snobbish.
2. rebelliously self-assertive; not inclined to be tractable or deferential.

come on swamp, the only reasons he decides to go to Florida is to help crist, I just bet we see a pic of crist and obama together again , he has gotton flak for not going to the gulf so he goes for a few hours with his family but why not help crist without making it look like he is endorsing crist instead of meeks, as soon as I heard he was going to Florida I just knew crist would take advantage of this as obama will also, we all know crist has people helping him who worked for democrats and also with obama, is this not obvious or what. How anyone could vote for crist after seeing what kind of a person he really is , the biggest flip-flopper , two faced person I have ever seen is beyond me. Talk about a total selfcentered man, all political arrogant person, could he really fool Floridians?? could he really sucker these people, sadly I think so.

The Obama amatuer hour continues...these people would screw up a two car parade. Nov 2010, take the keys away, Nov 2012 repossess the car and send these losers back where they came from

Suppose America's first "royal family" were to come in contact with some "nasty" tar balls while strolling on the beach. Would that not give a whole new meaning to the term "tar baby"? Just a thought.
These clowns won't go near the Louisiana, Mississippi or Alabama beaches because they are all in really "red" states. Florida is a relatively safe RINO area. I know firsthand that Gulf Shores and Orange beach are beautiful and oil free because I was there just last week.

Why even bother going? Seems a waste of jet fuel for a photo op. Geez, Michelle spent more in Spain...

The area that he should have visited is Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi. I don't believe that the beautiful Florida beaches have had near the problems ....even though I know their business is off considerably. BC said had President Bush ever in 8 years gone to the Gulf Coast.....almost all of his vacations were working vacations and at the Ranch....I can assure you that he would have been all over the Gulf Coast if he was in office. It is just a matter of priorities..and we know what President Obama's priorities are ...Good Luck to Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama and Florida on the recovery....we are all praying for you.

Can 2012 get here fast enough?

BC said "To all you right wingnuts bitching about President Obama vacationing on the Gulf of Mexico: can any of you post links to vacations taken by President Dubya on the Gulf of Mexico during the 8 years he was in office?"
Calm down, wipe the froth from your mouth. LOL. You will be wiped out in Nov. This isn't about GWB. Great defense you libs have, btw. "Bush did it first so we'll do it 10 times worse" Not a great defense.

How much would we have to pay Obama to just STAY on vacation? I'd pay him triple - it would be cheaper. I'd extend the same deal to Congress. We'd have a balanced budget in no time.

Another photo-op farce at tax payers expense. They just don't get it and never will.....until November, maybe.

Come November 2012 we need to put him and his hag wife on vacation for good.

Every time I read these types of stories (and they are occurring on an almost daily basis!) I keep hearing in my mind the theme song from The Jeffersons: Movin' On Up. Unlike the Jeffersons, however, there is nothing remotely humorous about the manner in which these people spend our money and embarrass our citizens.

Poor Michelle. She has to grin and bear it for a whole 27 hours in nasty ol USA for a vacation? Bah humbug, let them eat lobster and kobe beef.

Wow. 75 posts because the President went to the Gulf for a photo op. Mission Accomplished.

You wingnuts are the most tedious, simplistic, childish creatures around. You spout the same silly things about every story that even mentions Obama (e.g., Craig Murray @3:03; Judith Robinson @3:24.). You say nothing; you merely express hate.

White-Hooded Russ N.: while you've got your dictionary open, look up "denotation" and "connotation" and see why your idiotic post does nothing but betray the racism that permeates your worthless being.

To save the Trib bandwith, I propose that in the future, if you zombies simply want to weigh in with stupid expressions to the effect that you hate Obama: "Zombie 1." We'll all know what you mean. If you have something interesting to add...we'll deal with that the if and when it ever occurs.

Every time I think this Presidency couldn't get any more tone deaf, they prove me wrong.

Wow...a whole 26 hours in a town with pristine beaches virtually unaffected by the spill. What a clueless group these clowns are. Can you imagine the shrieks of outrage from the left if Bush had done this?

I wonder if BO will get a chance to talk to any unemployed oil workers caused by his moritorium. Perhaps he should take a trip to Pascagoula, Miss and see Rig Row.

http://www.nola.com/news/gulf-oil-spill/index.ssf/2010/08/rig_row_in_pascagoula_is_home.html

Michele,

That why we called PFUTZ and his ilk, Rearendrammers.

Another vacation ... this idiot and his family arer spending any reparations they ever might get ... might as well spend it on cases of King Cobra Malt Liquor ...

This president needs to get some backbone. Everytime the MSM criticizes him, he jumps to attention.

Whats wrong with Camp David? Many Presidents have vacationed there. Its close to DC and the price is right,

President Bush took vacations in his own home in Crawford and leftist didn't mind Cindy Sheehans hoards harrassing the President,

It's not about Race as Obama is the first President with absolutely Zero Experience in Government or the Corporate World.

Obama made the mistake and slipped when he told us he wants to "Spread The Wealth Around" to people who did not earn it.

I am all for helping the poor, but when the Politicians sign these huge Bills 860 Billion and the common person gets nothing it shows what they are all about. It amounts to Legalized Organized Crime.

Even the Poor got screwed, Obama said he would not raise Taxes on any Family making 250,000.00 or less. Well He LIED BIGTIME! Everyone is paying BIG TAXES.

If the Black Voters Vote for Obama for a second Term they are Bigger Fools than most people think they are. It's almost like Blacks are Programmed to Vote Democrat, it's like they know Black's will vote Democratic every time. It's insulting to Black people to think the Democratic Politicians feel they will automatically vote for them because they are Black.

I know a lot of Black Conservative Friends and they vote Republican because they know the Dems are hurting the Country. They want to send their kids to College and it will be impossible with the Current Administration and Policies.

FYI Lefties - Pres. Bush (both father & son) used to vacation on Boca Grande which is down by Fort Myers. They have been going there for years and years.

Maybe Barry and Shelly can splurge and buy eveyone another ice cream cone!

The golf courses in the area must not be up the calibre that Obama demands.

Will this arrogant clown ever stop spending more taxpayer money on his personal agenda and for his personal gratification?

My post must have struck pay-dirt!! I have all of the creepy, grimy, little Republican-Libertarian-T-Bagger's boys and girls throwing tantrums and stomping their little feet. They don't like it when someone tells them how wrong and silly they are. I hope you kids got all the candy you wanted, for getting out the post!! You still are a day late and a dollar short!! I wish your parents would have taught you better. President Obama is trying his best to do right by our country, but all you want to do is throw stones, call him names and whine like big babies. I hope you get the chance to grow up and realize the error of your ways. President Obama is a good guy, a good father, a good husband and a good President. Above all, he is still our President. I know that sticks in your crawl, but that is the results of winning elections!! I hope you get the chance to realize that exhilarating experience, in your lifetime, but that means you have to find an honest-to-goodness candidate. Unfortunately, I don't see one person in the ranks of the Party of No, who comes close to that qualification.
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

Wow, where did all these people posting come from? Most of them don't like Fitz. Well Fitz you make a lousy first impression it appears. Now that was some funny reading but let's keep the race stuff out of it please. That's not what the problem is and sounds childish. It's lousy policies rammed down our throats.

!!!President Obama is a good guy, a good father, a good husband and a good President!!!
and, you know this how?
If my husband prefered that my daughter and I vacation in Spain, while our other daughter spent 1 month at camp and in the meantime, he partied on his b-day with sport "celebrities, and Oprah, I'd wonder about the "good guy,good husband,good father" part.
--------------
I'm curious, how do you know he is a "good guy, good father, good husband"?

Blinky and PFUTZ,

The reason for so many post is that the article is featured on the front page of the website.

PFUTZ,

There aren't that many people interested in your rearendrammer rants.

DF of ILL. I like the support our troops, but which troops do you want to bring home, they are all around the world and did you know that more troops die in traffic accidents at home than are killed while overseas. Let them do their job well and give them the proper tools and they will get themselves home. As to BO, he is inexperienced, star struck narcissist who thinks most people are ignorant enough not to know the difference between a photo op and a vacation. I know plenty of good guys, good fathers and good husbands-but that doesn't qualify them for the presidency or being good president. He isn't trying to do right by his country, he is trying to get his agenda across no matter what those in this country think. He likes rules as long as they don't apply to him.

I take offense to the assumption that Black Obama is a golfer. He plays from the ladies tees and still shoots in the low 100's. It is an embarrassment to golfers everywhere that he has any claim to being a golfer.

"Obama is a good guy, a good father, a good husband and a good President. Above all, he is still our President"

Well, somebody must have lived with these folks and actually know the truth. I doubt it is this Don character though. I like that adjective describing Obama, "still" the president. That's like catch me if you can. The difference is when kids play it is to entertain themselves but when adults play it is to evade the law. The only guy as infamous as Obama is D.B. Cooper and that's because nobody knows who he was either. America, gotta love the drama and the fools alike.

I firmly believe that Bo & Mo could care less what the majority of Americans think about their over-the-top galavanting as-well-as his terrible legislation.

This trip has to be considered "slumming"! Michelle, will you pack your designer duds for this one???

Going on vacation again. How much tax payer money are they going to spend on vacations. It is one after another. This is getting outrageous. I only wish I could go on vacation and so do most people even just once. Do they even know what work is or is everything in Washington D.C. a just screw around attitude. Spend more taxpayer money on yourself and bleed the country dry you lazy idiot. I supported you and now I see you are just as bad as George Bush was with vacations and you and especially your wife loves to spend that taxpayer money. You should be paying for your own vacations, not the taxpayers.

I hope he and his family stay on vacation for the remainder of his term. Too bad the rest of them don't take a permanent vacation. The country would be the better for it.
All of the congress and senate should meet for 6 months and spend the next six months at home facing the voters. Less time for their shenanigans and more face time with their constituents.

Reminds me of one other time he flew to Florida to give a speech at NASA. He announced his planned destruction of the manned space program at NASA.
Later he announce one of the main goals of NASA was to promote ISLAM. From his hatcht man Bolden, "foremost, he wanted me to find a way to reach out to the Muslim world and engage much more with dominantly Muslim nations to help them feel good about their historic contribution to science, math, and engineering." He demolished the space program, next it's the US. TRAITOR.

The more time he spends on vacation the less time he has to ruin our country. Party on Barry!

Michelle does not care about the American people and neither does Obama.
She was telling everyone to come on down to the Gulf and spend some money. That's what it's all about to her anyway. The oil is poisonous and there are poisonous gasses coming out of the well and evaporating from the oil slick. Anyone who goes down there increases their risk of getting cancer. She and her husband are corporate shills and money is their God. If she really cared about people she would tell them to stay away. They are going to swoop down their for their rediculous one day photo op to pretend everything's ok as a ploy to increase his election chances. Boot them out, I say.
Eat the shrimp/I mean drink the Kool-aid is their siren call. DON'T BELIEVE THEM.

no mention in the article that Joe biden's father - Joe biden, Sr worked for AMOCO Oil which later became BP.

let's headline this fact.
Joe Biden, Sr used his employment as an oil company salesman to beat the draft and avoid military service in WWII.

how about a single word of truth?

Obama Speaks! Blame it on Sarah! Blame it on Beck! Blame it on Rush! Just not my "tan." Save 10% come walk with me! Blame it on Bush! Blame it on Cheney! Just not my "tan." Save 10% come walk with me! It's BP's fault not Michelle or the kids! I executed a "moritorium." The GOP shot that down! I declared a Federal Catastrophe. BP deposited 20 Billion! Come walk with me! Save 10%! It's not my family's fault! It's not my children's fault! I declared a Catastrophe! BP deposited 20 Billion to address the claims before the claims before the claims before the law suit claims! Don't blame my wife! Don't blame my child! Come walk with me! Save 10%! We've come a long way since the Bush/Cheney "The Fundamentals of the Economy are Strong, GOP Job Creation was on the McCain/Sarah Palin "rise." Come walk with me! Save 10% Tax on that YOU LIE! YOU LIE! Rep. Joe Wilson, YOU LIE! Hispanic, Latino, Mexican American born alike TAN! I did! We did! The Family did! Just not the GOP Generational Theft by Deception post Bush/Cheney Axis of Evil Doers! Ya'll miss them now! Ya'll going to miss them in November!? Not the 8 million job seekers! Not the 4800 YOU LIE! YOU LIED about Weapons of Mass Destruction to hand out 20 million forced unattested "Z" Patches! Come walk with me save 10%! Blame it on Bush! Blame it on Cheney! Just not my 10% Tan TAX in the GULF!

I only know one person who vacations as much as the Obamas. His wife has lots of medical issues and he quickly runs out of sick leave, so he takes vacations to take her to out of town doctor appointments.

Actually, someone here ought to show the poor guy a little sympathy. He's in way over his head. For all we know, he's already thrown in the towel and figures the two of them might as well live it up before we throw them out. As for the rest of us, we've got a country of about 300 million people - who knew the odds we'd find a handful of the most incompetent ones and send them to Washington?

Don Fitzgerald,

Above all slick, you're a fool and liar.

Vacation is too long, vacation isn't long enough, when will you guys make up your mind. Face it if Obama took the weekend and came to your house and mowed your lawn you would complain there are lawns some where else that need mowing why is he mowing mine.

BTW when did weekends become vacations? Obama cuts out on Friday afternoon and is usually back in the WH Sunday eve. that's a weekend not a vacation. You can't get much brush cut in just a weekend.

For all of you that voted for the bum you got what you deserved, For all of us that didn't vote for the bum, we deserve this too. We thought that our fellow man wasn't that stupid to vote for a clearly underqualilfied person. But, we learned that our neighbor, parents and kids are mostly stupid. It is time we talk to them and make them aware of the truth. It is not to late and it is to important! God help us!

I'm from Pensacola and Obama's last visit totally disrupted our city. Thank goodness that Panama City drew the "short stick"

Just head on down to Cuba where all the good sociaists and communists belong Barry and Michelle. Let them eat cuban cigars.

Chute this competely worthless turd soon as possible!!!

Just freaking great... More tar babies, isn't there enough on the beach already?

Yes, but will it cost 500k??? Too cheap for our fancy first lady...

So he takes his gulf trip in Florida? Ummmm, the spill was three states to the west.

Don, I want results not photo ops.

10.6 percent jobless rate in your state and 12.5 in the sunshine state here with more job killing regulations coming forth and an uneeded oil drilling moratorium that kill 100k jobs.

Where is the Hope? In an Unemployment Check?

No Thanks I want to put the car in Reverse (R)

He's going to meet up with Jimmy Carter and a swamp rabbit.

'you'll see HE and his wife out there.'

gibbs is not only a joke, but he is also illiterate.

How many laid -off oil workers is he going to talk to?...You know, the one's that can not work because Obama still has the "NO DRILL" order in place.
And after is 27 hours of blowing hot air he goes on another vacation...Is this vacation number 4 or 5 in the last month?

"President Obama is trying his best to do right by our country" LOL! You mean he's trying his best to do right by his travel agent! When Hussein gets unelected it'll be his turn to go on vacation.

Don Fitzgerald, IL, It is so very, very sad to witness the reaction of someone so sold on the idea that government is the answer to your problems. It must be nice to pray for the government to solve all of our problems, to fill our gas tanks, to pay our bills, to bail us out when our personal decisions cause us strife, and to solve a severe jobless crisis with higher taxes. Don't worry Don, the government will pay you not to work so you can stay home and pursue your talents. Oh, and don't forget, Pelosi has guaranteed that you will also get free health care, at the expense of those of us who contribute.

Harry Reid says he cannot imagine why a Hispanic could ever be a Republican. I can never imagine any person with even an ounce of dignity cannot. Those of us who want nothing from the government vote conservative. Those of you who want everything from the government (meaning my money) vote democrat. This is not the Kennedy democrat party anymore Don.

Michelle is too tired from having spent all that time on vacation in Spain. She'd like to get back home so she can rest.

Don, your post struck nothing but that dull empty skull you have.

By the way I agree with the poster that said you don't support our troops. If you did, all you should say is: I support our troops. One more word after that is your political BS, and you are a fake using our military to push your stupid Liberal Horse chit.

Come on you guys! Michelle can only spare a little time. She has to rest up from her trip to Spain.
Hauling that huge caboose around Europe is VERY tiring.

Don F..... Socrates said, "It's not the person with whom we struggle, it's their facts that prove impossible to deny". I haven't agreed with either party in so long everything's become a blur. 13 sentences ( August 13, 2010 5:44 PM) of total rambling nothingness, that's very enlightening, Don F! Do you think your toilet is white enough, or is that your opinion as well? Do you describe "Section 8" as a color, or is this a demand from those who dislike your beloved? Dept keeps everyone a slave, including you Don F., and stimulus after stimulus is only funded by us, we the people, Don. Once the government creates more jobs than the private sector does this country is DONE because NO ONE will be able to vote against those not wanting to lose their jobs. However short that life span will be is simple; Without taxes from the private sector, none of the government workers can get paid!! Ha Ha! And you liberal/progressive dumb fucks are so stupid in all your wisdom you can't even see that!!!!!!! F.D.R. sucked so bad for the only reason as to be surpassed by this moron!! The best of luck, Don F., you child.

THIS SO CALLED GREAT LEADER , BARRY SARTORRO (EXCUSE ME - BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA ) CAN'T ATTEND THE NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER , ( AS EVERY PREZ. HAS DONE BEFORE ) BUT HE CAN HAVE A GREAT BIG SHINDIG ON THE OPENING DAY OF THE MUSLIM HOLIDAY OF RAMADAN. & GAVE A SPEECH ABOUT ISLAMS MAJOR CONTRIBUTIONS TO AMERICA AND THE WORLD ! LOL ! IS IT ANY SUPRISE THAT HE SAYS THE ' CORDOBA ! ' MOSQUE SHOULD BE BUILT AT GROUND ZERO ? ! ? WHY WON'T HE RELEASE HIS EDUCATION RECORDS ?

I live on Martha's Vineyard, and NO...we would prefer that BO and MO stay away. They are nothing but trash and stink up the place. I'd rather smell low tide on a summer day.

With the policies of BO, you're damn right I'm with the Party of No!
This is exactly what Limbaugh meant when he said "I hope he fails!"

I find it interesting that whenever Obama is criticized inevitably someone comes up with "Well, Bush did......" and "You're by definition a racist".

The points that ara ALWAYS missed is that (1) A LOT of caucasian people voted for Obama, or he wouldn't have been elected, (2) MOST Americans were proud of the fact that we elected a black man as President, (3) Obama has utterly FAILED to deliver on his most basic promises (the wars, as one example), and (4) He has continually shoved race and economic status (his) in the faces of everyone.

I have lived a long time and in my entire life I have never experienced a President who has openly insulted Americans, called them names, sneered at them, treated them like unruly children (if they disagree with him).

He has disappointed us all.

Haha! The American people are so stupid! The Obamas are laughing at the loser poor people of American every day and polls still show that about 43% of the public STILL worships their little messiah. We deserve every single insult we get from those two.

this is really just a sham visit trying to shut people up but the truth is these people think they are royalty and not bound by the rules of the masses. effete, impudent, snobs!

um.....summers over bud. This guys a joke.
I took my one vacation and took the kiddos to the gulf...Mississippi. It was great, no oil at all and just fine. Sorry for all the media blowup of the issue. The beaches were very nice and clean, just no people...

Panama City Beach is about as far away from the oil spill as Obama can get. Great photo opp though. And why is it that the Obama's aren't coming to the Alabama gulf shore? Oh that's right, Alabama is a "red" state!

Just stay home Obama's we don't want your arrogance and elitism around us. Better yet just move to Cuba where your political views and agenda fit right in.

hey fitzgerald, bite me!

Don F., the truth really hurts doesn't it. I think the only ones name calling and throwing stones are you and the others like you. I read the whole article, and all of the comments and it has occurred to me that with your last post that you must be one of those "paid" observers, lurking about to come to Obama's defense whenever someone says something that might make him look bad. Well, no one has to say anything to make him look bad, he's doing a fine job of that himself. His lack of experience along with his arrogant behavior will keep him from doing anything that will move this country forward. Before you throw the first stone, take a hard look at yourself and your remarks. Name calling is something you guys on the far left are famous for.

Interesting that our "first family" are going to a swing state and a beach where there has been NO oil on the beach. Wonder why they didn't go to where they really have problems, like Gulf Shores, AL. Of course, they vote Republican, as well as Mississippi and Louisiana.

First Family my ass......maybe the first family in kenya!!

BHO is the worse president and he was elected by the population that was asleep and did not bother to research beyond the government infested media-msnbc, abc, nbc!!!
BHO is a one termer....so ms.mooochhell and BHO...enjoy your 2 year vacation....the party clock is ticking....November is coming!!!
BHO is the WORSE PRESIDENT EVER!!!!!!

More (bad) political theater from The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight.

To Don Fitzgerald how can the Republicans be the party of no when the Democrats control both houses? It's not like they need their votes to pass any legislation.

Don F. You're an idiot. This dumbass Obama is the worst thing to ever happen to this country. He does't have a clue what he's doing and neither do the people around him. If you voted for him you belong in the same padded room with him. All the SOB does is spout what the people that voted for him want to hear. Sit on your ass and make crack babies while I tax and take from everyone who gives a damn and actually fends for themselves. I'll give you their money. And oh by the way, vote for me next time and I'll screw them even more!

I just got confirmation that I was correct...the Secret Service did a pre-visit to St. George Island yesterday. Their only worry is that some red-neck oysterman might get lucky with a pot-shot.

Don F, you're an imbecile with no understanding of what this country was founded as nor why! Our Constitution was intentionally set up so as to restrict the power of the Federal Govt. to certain "Enumerated Powers"...everything else was left to the individual, local and State Governments to take care of. There is nothing in the Constitution that authorizes the Federal Govt. to STEAL money from people that have earned it (at the end of the IRS' gun) and give it to people that have not, will not and still clamor for MORE! The man (Obama) is a menace to our country, our security and our soveriegnty and simply by persuing his Marxist agenda has done more irrepairable damage to this country than any other person or group of people in history. Good God man...the US Federal Budget Defecit for just the month of JULY, 2010 was more than ANY SINGLE YEAR of the Bush Administration.

CREATE MORE MISERY, CREATE MORE NEED, CREATE MORE JOBLESSNESS, CREATE MORE DEMOCRAT VOTERS!!! IT'S ALL BEING DONE ON PURPOSE!!!!!

Chris Christie anyone?

I think we do have to blame GW Bush for running the country so bad that Obama looked good two years ago. Otherwise, BO would have never been elected. I didn't vote for Obama, but it was a sad state the country was in Nov 2008. BUT...things now are sooooo much worse than two years ago. Who is going to ask in 2012, "Are you better off now than you were four years ago?" The answer is going to be easy.

Don't stop now, kids!! You have three more months to convince America, just how able the rank and file of the Party of No is!! I really, really hope that "Run, Sarah, Run ", makes a race of it, although a few of the candidates, she supported, slipped badly and lost their primary races. What a shame!! I wonder what message America was sending her or more precisely, the Republican-Libertarian-T.Baggers!!? My hunch, it was: Get lost, you snide, sniveling stooges, America doesn't need your small-minded, mean-spirited, phony patriotism!! Get back to school and find out what real citizens of a democracy do, which is certainly not to attempt to undermine our very democracy!!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

The guy is not even american... where is his long-form birth certificate. You dumb Americans have been asleep for too long and got conned. This f0cker will destroy what's left of this country, and the people in charge are all laughing while making tons of money. When will you wake up? If not for you do it for your children and your grandchildren. YOU GOT PUNKED!

I see we have liberal Don Fitzgerald, IL on here to apologize for Obama.

Don, where are all the Oil slicks you are talking about? Show me the photo's of the oil covered beaches down there right now? Oh you can not because the whole thing was blow up out of proportion, so liberals could try to stop us from drilling for oil.

Remember when the news say's it is BP's fault.... BP stands for Black President.

Face it Don, it was just a photo shoot, 27 hours is not really a lot of time for a real vacation.... when you add a round table discussion and just travel time between places in the area.

Wow. I haven't seen this much hate mail since last year when I suggested Michelle is as glamorous as Jackie Kennedy.

Bush and Shooter got a lot of hate mail in their day, but it was more directed to their policies.\: useless war of choice, bankrupting the US, self dealing with Shooter and Halliburton.

The hate mail here is far more pathological. Like that columnist Krauthamer trying to slam Barack during the 08 campaign.

"Projection" is what the shrinks used to call it, at least with regard to some of the haters.

O, and the Obamas have taken far fewer days off the public calendar than any other First Family since they started keeping records of such things.

Very few vacation days.

All these attacks on Obama and his vacation time. How soon they forget the amount of time Dubya spent clearing brush at his ranch, while ignoring the wars he started. How many trips did Dubya take to New Orleans? Fly overs do NOT count. How many president take a surplus and turn it into record deficits. Lets not forget Obama inherited the messes Bush created. had McCain won, would you be just as critical, even if the end result was the same? I doubt it.

Hey FLORIDA.... seems I recall some 4 million of you voted the bastard Oilbama into office. How do you like him now? Are you all going on to the airport to watch him land... maybe he'll actually get off the plane and wave to you! Of course, he doesn't want much to do with you now that he's the first black african bastard president... but... it doesn't matter. What matter FLORIDA is that YOU voted him into office.

How does it feel to be screwed by a muslim bastard? We're all finding out.
Thank you Florida. Now back to your regular scheduled program.

.....the economy today in Florida is testimony of what happens when you don't pay attention to details Floridians.... ....... ...... .......

Hmm, a vacation on the beach. Obama walks along silently and alone and reaches down to some mysteriously placed tiny seashells. He kneels down and fashions the shells into the shape of a crescent and a star. After apparently giving thanks for the reborn beaches, he rises to continue his solo walk along the beach...afterwards turning back to wink and grin to the throng of camera men and reporters a few steps behind.

Look at all these people hammering Fitz. It appears recent polls don't lie Donny boy.
The dems are due to get hammered the fall.
I don't want to sit here & tell all the people that voted for Obama I told you so. They got conned by Obama and John McCain was ran a lousy campaign (and followed that guy named Bush that nobody liked in the end). It reminds me of that Simpsons Halloween special where Kang & Kodos said it was a 2 party system. You had to vote for one of them. Well now most of you are saying they should have voted for Kodos right?
Fitz would have still voted for Kang no doubt.

Herr Fitzgerald: What an insignificant wee insect thou apparently are, wriggling round in the vilely contaminated, brackish, Dailey Land-Chicago-Cook County-political-slough mire from which your America-hating, educational largesse benefited Hussein Obama, and his Michelle, emerged and into which your life form was evidently introduced far too soon following gestation. And Mister, please don’t get me wrong, I don’t hate or detest you, for to hate or detest someone I would have to consider that person worthy of my hate or detestation, and that disqualifies you, sirah, for in your comments here you have proven to be incapable of originality, having merely repeated stale, oft used insults, much like a grade school student who writes only that which his or her teacher dictates. Ah, so, ‘nough said, and so, I herewith--at 84, soon to be 85--remove myself from this exercise in futility.

WHAT DID "HIS MAJESTY" DO FOR FLORIDA EXCEPT ADD MORE FILTH TO THE BEACH?HE AND HIS FAMILY CAN GO BACK WHERE THEY CAME FROM OR ANY OTHER PLACE THAT IS EVEN HOTTER THAN WASHINGTON, D.C.EVEN IN WINTER.

Let's bring Bush back...NOT! If he doesn't go everyone screams...if he does go it is not long enough! Fact is with politics....no one is ever happy and no one is ever satisfied!

There will be plenty of people to talk to because Obama's moratorium put them all out of work. What a doofus.

Stupid racial comments about the president really say more about the poster than the president. Liberal racism is much more damaging to their victims and insidious because their policies while appearing to be helpful really entrap people into a life of dependence on others (gov.) But racist comments allow libs to deflect attention from the real problems and causes.
*****
Obama being black has nothing to do with our problems. His ideology does.
*****
Anyone who thinks Obama and his cronies are stupid, does so to the peril of all of us. THEY ARE NOT STUPID !
*****
They know exactly what they need to do to make America into the type of country they want it to be, and they are doing a great job. No one could possibly be enacting their agenda while seeing the results here and of similar programs in Europe and not be expecting the same outcome.
*****
When the situation gets bad enough here in the good ole USA, there will be only one entity able to step in to maintain order and save us -- the federal government.

Just more show and hype from Chairman Zero & Baboona.
27 hours isn't a vacation enough from the last vacation.
Watch how fast they go back to another vacation destination.
It's elitist entitlement at its finest.

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WELL - AS SOON AS THEIR MISSION IS ACCOMPLISHED.

Yet ANOTHER vacation, it's like every weekend. NOW, the President shows up, after it's fixed. He wanted nothing to do with the gulf when it was a problem. I wonder who this guy is pandering to? Does he think he's kidding people? What a joke. He's so insignificant now, this guy could only lead a boy scout troop. Oh wait.... he snubbed the boy scouts, they don't want him!!

It sure is good to see Fitz's stupidity get spread to a broader audiance. More people will read just how stupid these Democrat-Socialist-Rearendrammers really are.

Zowie. NEWS would be if Barry did something OTHER than Vacation and Campaign, But if he had to spend time in the White House then he would have to listen to his Morher-In-Law.

Google massive fish die off and every state up the east cost has one, the beaches are full of dead fish. Brazil just had massive oil hitting their beaches. This is far from over ! The reports are now it has affected the Gulf Stream movement and it has stopped.

Hey, " JamesO'D....", you should have stopped at " James O'D...", once. Twice, and you lost all that God gave you, which in your case, was only a wee bit!! In your case, I'm sure you didn't lose any sleep about it, or you shouldn't have!!
As for the rest of the Moronic Right, keep them cards and letters coming, we need to show America just how vacuous your criticisms are. America is on her way back and you want to throw stones, throw tantrums and lie about our President, who has been instrumental in bringing our economy back, from the Bush&Cheney chasm! Don't hold it against President Obama and Vice-President Biden, praise them, support them and above all, give them the credit they deserve. America's bacon is safe, because of our executive team of Obama and Biden!! Now if we can get those obstructionist rummies out of our Senate, we can solve some more of America's Republican-induced problems!!
SUPPORT OUR TROOPS, BRING THEM HOME, ALIVE AND WHOLE. NOW.

inresponse to BC on 8/13 at 12:02 pm - you are right, i believe, the only time i can remember " W " being in the gulf was when the secret service finally cleared him to show up for 'katrina'! remember? and he went there dressed for presidential business, not with a 'clown-like' smuile on his face. that's the difference, BC. presidential instead of nat'l comm. org-izer!!!

Does Camp David have a golf course?
