Guys, I'm going on a 16 day vacation at a $12,000,000, 10 acre estate
Well, I'm not really going anywhere. In fact, I haven't had a vacation in years. But I'm contributing to this schmuck's vacation with my taxes and so are you.
Quote:It's going to be hot tubs, basketball, tennis and golf for the first family this summer, having set plans for a 16-day vacation in Martha's Vineyard, Mass., on a $12 million, 10-acre forested estate on the southwestern corner of the island.
Reports from the Bay State indicate that President Obama and his family will vacation August 9-24 at the 8,100-square foot, beachfront home of a Democratic donor that includes a pool, hot tub, basketball and tennis court.
It will be new digs for the first family, who have summered on tony Martha's Vineyard every year of Obama's presidency, except in 2012 when he was running for reelection.
The Vineyard Gazette reported that the White House has no major or public events planned for the almost three weeks, typical at this stage of a presidential vacation.
The Cape Cod Times reported that several local stores typically visited by the president and his family during the past five Obama trips are making plans to welcome them, including famous Mad Martha's Ice Cream which last year developed a new flavor called “Barack My World,” espresso ice cream, macadamia nuts and caramel.
Obama is expected to be accompanied by top aide Valerie Jarrett, a regular summer resident of Oak Bluffs, one of the island's bigger towns.
It will be among the longest vacations Obama has taken and four times longer than the average 3.8 day vacation the typical American family takes.

Meh. I'll cut him a break on this one. It's not as if he hasn't been "working tirelessly" for the American people these last couple weeks. I mean c'mon, what's 16 days off when you've got all this other schit taken care of?
Peace in the world.
Economy booming.
Good will toward man.
What else you want? Gay marriage and free abortion pills?!? C'mooooon, give the guy a break once in a while...

I only get a few days from work a year, and - when I do - I always make sure it's at least a week. I guess others just don't manage time as well.
I'm guessing they mean a vacation where people go and stay the night away from home. Not all can afford to do so.
Pffffft. Commoners. Come to tha Vinyawd for a time. We'll make good sure you have a wicked vaca! Work? Ha! who works?!? Only the little people work...
This floppy eared b-rate stand in is soooo tone deaf you could solo a tuba next to him and he'd think it's a string quartet. Gawd, he's obnoxiously arrogant.

Just visited the tax office yesterday to clear up a misunderstanding. Had to make sure I chipped in for a few appetizers at dinner. How much does a dinner for the pres and staff cost at the vineyard? Maybe I chipped in for a few sodas.
