Examiner ^ | Aug 8, 2015 | Sciott Paulson

President Barack Obama is likely hoping that the sixth time is the charm as far as vacationing in Martha’s Vineyard for a sixth time during his presidency.

It’s another gorgeous day in Boston and it’s been a perfect stretch of weather too for Obama Vaca.

We were supposed to go to MV, but because of Hussein we had to go to Nantucket.

The Preezy’s entourage & security army pretty much lock down the entire island.

Wonder what all his wealthy liberal supporters who own/vacation there must be thinking?

My brother is on the ferry to the Vineyard right now, just like he goes all summer long back and forth. He just said it hardly makes any difference Obama being there. I guess there are just so many who can actually afford going there.

Barack Obama and his family have vacationed on Martha's Vineyard way before he was elected President, if I remember correctly. Besides, isn't there a substantial African-American summer community there that dates back several decades?

Impossible.

He’s a communist.

Him and his family are pulling turnips at Turnip Commune #43.

More like getting drunk on the fermented turnip squeezins, while the white slaves of Turnip Commune #43 bring in the harvest for their inebriated overlords.

Let me tell you, I doubt that the Husseins are staying in Oak Bluffs. The Blacks who have been going there for some time, were/are considered *the help*.

** If you haven’t been there before, you might think that black Vineyarders are all elitist, insensitive and economically monolithic. People bring their own perceptions and personal context to Martha’s Vineyard.

The thing is, the Vineyard never started out as a buppie haven. It’s far from it. The majority of the earliest black summer visitors to Martha’s Vineyard were the families of late 19th-century laundresses and hairstylists working for white Bostonians. In his article, Touré notes that Shearer Cottage was the first black-owned inn. But it wasn’t the first, nor was it the only one. Blacks of varying professional backgrounds shared their homes before Shearer Cottage. Some of these thrifty folks saved enough to purchase the guest cottages of their employers. They, in turn, invited their friends—chauffeurs, doormen, butlers—to stay with them. And in time, Oak Bluffs became the destination spot for black folks. Black Bostonians, and to a lesser extent, New Yorkers, from all walks of life, called Oak Bluffs their summer home. Blue-collar workers, merchant marines, schoolteachers, housewives, itinerant artists and part-time actors mingled; their children and grandchildren became lifelong friends.** [snip]

Nan is a better choice, anyway. Not so spoiled. Not so crowded. [Except at this time of year....the whole Cape is a nightmare. Best to go *off-season* if you *must* go.] :)
