Campaign 2012: Obama to skip Martha's Vineyard vacation this summer

President Obama won’t be spending his summer vacation in the well-heeled haven of Martha’s Vineyard as he has done for the last three years, according to sources familiar with the White House decision.

The Obama team isn’t supplying a reason for the decision not to go to the island -- a convenient and security-friendly place for presidents to visit that is better known by the rest of the country as a playground for the privileged. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the president’s plans.

There’s not much doubt about the mixed-message problems such an exclusive venue could bring for a president running for reelection, especially when one of his major campaign themes is to portray his Republican opponent as rich and out of touch with the middle class.

And in the presidential museum on the display of Martha’s Vinyard where so many presidents vacationed, it will also be noted that in 2012, Barry CANCELED his vacation to save America, etc.

I cannot wait until they are booted from the Whitehouse, what kind of a neighborhood will want them?

Will they be forced to live on an impregnable island surrounded by an army of their choosing?

They will make up some bloated story and will probably take off for Kenya, my money is on that bet.

Not a chance.
Baraq’s ego won’t let it happen.
He’ll have a nightly 2 hr gig on PMSNBC.
For the 60% of the time when he’s on vacation or playing golf, Blowprah will substitute.
And the family will live in Manhattan.
I’m sure there’s some $34k/year elementary schools for the kids there.

Interesting that Washington won’t tell the American people where their President is going. What’s he afraid of? Must be a huge security risk for him.

Why doesn’t he join his Attorney General at Disneyland? Well, maybe not . . . he might scare the kids.

He has a load of vacations for 3 1/2 years. Now we are rolling up to November and he’s going to skip one. Wow!
