Obama pleads for privacy on his vacation (DOUBLE-STANDARD!)

Posted on 08/24/2009 6:25:50 AM PDT by wk4bush2004

CHILMARK, Mass. – President Barack Obama and his family began a weeklong vacation on this Massachusetts island with a message to the reporters who have crowded the New England villages: Chill out and don't expect much.

Pleading for privacy, the White House said Obama would have no public events while vacationing on Martha's Vineyard with his family and close friends. Aides also asked that the journalists not take pictures of the Obamas' two young daughters, age 8 and 11, when they aren't with the president.

So, Obama can get all the privacy he wants, but Sarah Palin's family was viciously attacked and never left alone for one second. The liberals are so full of double-standards and contradictions.

To quote someone I know:

"TO BE A LIBERAL IS TO BE A CONTRADICTION!"

He only wants publicity on his terms.

The Usurper in Chief requires privacy, solace while he is in fasting and prayer during RAHMadon (sp intended).

Listenhillary to Obama

Leave ME alone.

I’m sick of having to watch DC each to see what right or liberty they will try to steal today.

I don't remember Bush pleading for privacy during any of his vacations in Crawford or Kennebunkport. Something like that would have offended Cindy Sheehan and her people and in turn would have disgusted the msm.

Shades of the Klingtongs ... remember when Bubba and Hildebeast were dancing on a beach somewhere to no music, and made sure the LA Times I think it was, photographed them, and published it. No one paid any attention to the pic until Bubba, whined publicly, “Can’t we have some privacy please?” Then the pic got mega attention, which of course, is what Klingtong wanted. Maybe that was when the Monica thingy was going on — I don’t recall exactly.

So is Othuggo just axing for privacy so that he gets more publicity, and perhaps a little sympathy from the dumbo vote?

I saw an article yesterday that referred to this Martha's Vineyard outing as Obama's "first vacation". The blatant lying and double standards are just staggering.

I’m assuming you know that Cindy plans to “visit” Obama this week. I doubt if the MSM will report it.

From the Boston Herald:

Ten-year-old Laurent Span of Cresskill, N.J., who spent the afternoon on a beach chair on South Road in West Tisbury hoping to catch a glimpse of the commander-in-chief, said it was worth the wait even if he didn’t actually see the president.

“He’s very intelligent and a nice person,” the fifth-grader said. “I think he’ll bring safety to the country, end the war and get people to use more biodegradables. Like putting more blowers in bathrooms instead of towels to save paper.”

He wants privacy to consult with Bill Ayers, George Soros, and his (Obama’s) masters in the Saudi Kingdom about the depressing state of his popularity and potential collapse of his senior white citizen medical extermination program.

“Sarah Palin’s family was viciously attacked”

The left has made the Kenyan’s children are fair game.

I hope the press gets a picture of him smoking with his daughters.
