And that does not count the parties and golf outings. Talk about fiddling while Rome burns! Some FINE example Obama sets. FDR at least had the class to serve coffee and donuts in the Rose Garden rather than throw million dollar shindigs and spent his vacations at his own properties.

Off Topic, but important.
Want to sabotage the liberal traitorous media, especially the lefty Hollywood idiots?
Want sound values and want to be a part of getting them out to America and the world?
Want to be a Citizen Producer of quality pro-American movies?

It could be the best money you ever spend for your kids and grand kids.

I hadn’t realized that the oil spill was contained and the environment returned to normal. He said he would not rest until…oh, wait, all Obama promises & statements come with an expiration date.

What’d you expect?! He’s Oilbrahma, the Last Oilbender.
brian commented:
Cut the man some slack!
He hasn’t had a day off since, like yesterday?
kansas commented:
I hope he stays on vacation. That’s about the only break we get from his constant regulating.
Everyday we find out new stuff they crammed into the health care bill. Check out the 1099′s small business has to file. And that’s just one paragraph.
xxx commented:
Hussein really does imply something. He takes about as many vacations as Saddam or Pol Pot.
Mrgoodwench commented:
What is everybody complaining about ?
Aren’t we all dying to see what our tax dollars bought for Michelle Obama ? Her outfits, shoes, handbags, her mom’s vacation, Hussain’s date-nights, all the Secret Service details, his entourage of doctors and chefs…..etc….etc…
Don’t tell me the country is not looking forward to the royal style and pomp and circumstance in all its lavishness ………….;-)
Its not like our tax-dollars will spend themselves, thank God we have the Obamas to help us out on that.
Everyone, go back to work now , the royals need financing for their next vacation .

Oilbama does no favors for his “legacy” by acting above it all.

Yep. He behaves in the style of a true dictator.
Bob commented:
It is hard work destroying the USA. He is stressed out and needs sometime off.
USMC Thomas commented:
Never thought I’d see the day the POTUS resembled a tinhorn, third world African dictator, abusing all the privileges of office.
IMPEACH THE BASTARD.

Obowmas job IS done in the gulf, the drilling rigs are moving out and the drilling has stopped.
He’s so proud, he’s taken another vacation………….at our expense…… of course.
Songtan1 commented:
Obama keeps his word about as good as the North Koreans…
down with dems commented:
Hopefully someone out there is keeping a tally of days he goes to parties, goes golfing, or is on vacation. When the 2012 election rolls around, it will be fun to trot out the grand totals.
Then again, the more he parties, the less damage he’s doing (other than the cost of his partying, which the American people are still paying for… the legal ones)
I still think 50% of his reason for running for president was to get to have celebrities come visit him, (poorly) throw out pitches at ballgames, and go on vacations on a whim… to live the high life, all while being followed around by a fawning press. The other 50% is the advancement of socialism and social justice for anyone who isn’t white.
maria commented:
I don’t understand why everybody is against Obama, as he was so deeply needed after Bush, to change America…. what a change he made until now….. congratulation….
America, you got exactly what you’re asking for. Voting for a man without suit……..

I will not rest until….

“Then again, the more he parties, the less damage he’s doing”
Traditionally this is true, however with this one it is not true. It’s everyone behind the scene that writes and orchestrates the agenda. While barry is a part of that process his main job is PR, the salesman, the pitchman…..The Slap Chop Guy.
MrBlonde commented:
He also will not rest until:
unemployment is solved.
all involved in Christmas Day underwear attack are found and held accountable.
until we reach a day when not one single veteran falls into homelessness.
businesses are investing again.
businesses are hiring again.
his handicap is lower than his shoe size.
police stop acting stupidly.
he has thrown more million dollar parties than the Perons could even have imagined.
Thundering Tiger commented:
If we are really lucky he will go on a permanent vacation!
Fionnagh commented:
“oh, wait, all Obama promises & statements come with an expiration date.”
Yep, like about ten seconds after the words fly out of his deceitful, pouty little mouth.
Callipygian1 commented:
Bowing to the Governor of Maine is on his bucket list.
Besides, he’s less dangerous outside of DC.
Jennifer commented:
To Obama the presidency is a 4-8 year vacation, and the recession, joblessness, gulf disaster, etc. are merely inconveniences.
SS252 commented:
We (My family) havent taken a vacation in two years? We used to every year, but now that our income has dropped by 50% we just cant do it.
Yet this idiot has a party a week? So how do we get the morons that vote for this idiot to get the joke?
I think they are so fukin lazy that they love this moron and his policies..
I guess just wait for the foodlines huh?
CrankyOldLady commented:
What ever the crisis, Obooger always says “I’m not going to rest …” blah, blah, blah.
He should rest in peace.
newton commented:
My friends, don’t let your hearts be troubled!
As Obama goes on his next vacation and fiddles around, the brew is mixing quite nicely. The rumbles are only increasing by the day.
Let me give you the quote from here:
“I believe we are on the precipice of a seismic shakeup. White independents have already left Obama in droves, I believe it is only a matter of time till the young adults and postgraduates begin fleeing him and them its only a short time till his base of black voters begins to abandon him due to his policies.”
And this:
“Charisma, hope and change can only get Obama so far. Once his hardcore supporters also begin to realize that their situation has actually gotten even worse under Obama, look out. A seismic shift of epic proportions is in the works. Never underestimate a population that can’t find work…black or white, young or old. And unfortunately for Obama, the group that is being hit hardest by his ill conceived policies are his base — the young and black. [Emphasis mine.]”
If a huge part of his base abandons him… the tsunami coming his way is going to make the French Revolution look tame by comparison.
Remember one other thing: the last time this same exact thing happened, the one sent packing was… Jimmy Carter!

Really, I see The One being on vacation as a good thing! It is hard to see his “progressive” decisions as…….progress, on any front.

C’mon, it’s hard work acting like a President.
Charles Collins commented:
How many vacation days has Obama had since taking office?
Jerry Brown commented:
Is it just me or is the big O checking out the cracker whore blond standing in front of him in the video? That would make him a target for King Shabaz and the New Black Panthers. He better go hide on a vacation before the Panthers come after him with a night stick.
Iconoclast commented:
I suppose it is too much to ask zero to vacation inside the caldera of an active volcano . . . but one can always “hope” that will “change.”

JKB commented:
Vacation, this is not vacation. This is Obama’s attempt at personalized stimulus. As opposed to Al Gore’s idea of personalized stimulus. Think of the jobs he’s saving by vacationing when so many Americans are selfishly hoarding their savings to pay the coming jacked up winter heating bill.
John W. commented:
Cut the guy some slack. It’s hard work healing the planet, stopping the seas from rising, and generally being the Messiah.
Bill Fabrizio commented:
If Obama would just buy a super absorbent box of DEPENDS and start wearing them over his mouth, then the “Leak would be Stopped”!
FB commented:
Would somebody please inform Mr. Obama that the White House is not a vacation timeshare? Thank you.
JustSaying commented:
I certainly do not want them up in my neck of the woods….I was ticked when I read he was coming here. Him and his ilk spend money like drunken sailors..I have never witnessed such disregard for all the poor souls without jobs to go to, let alone take a vacation this year…I hope to God people who voted for him are wakening and realizing what their vote did to this country…I wonder how many who voted for him are out of a job since his election!

“He couldn’t get his judges appointed. He had trouble getting his legislation passed, and he lost control of the Senate. His approval ratings in the polls began to sink. He was already beginning to look like a lame duck president. With everything going wrong, he did what any of us would do. He went…. on vacation.”
