Obama ends Hawaiian holiday, returns to Washington (AP-"hardly the holiday most Americans seek")
Washington Post (AP) ^ | January 4, 2010 | PHILIP ELLIOTT

HONOLULU -- President Barack Obama ended a Hawaiian vacation to return Monday to the Washington he never really escaped.

Obama and his family boarded Air Force One on Sunday evening for an overnight flight, capping off an 11-day trip that would be remembered more for an al-Qaida affiliate's botched attempt to bring down a Christmas Day flight about to land in Detroit from Amsterdam rather than the hours spent on golf courses or at luaus. The failed terror attack refocused the president's trip from R&R on the island of Oahu to a river of memos from homeland security aides.

I don’t think a wig or weave hold up well in the Hawaiian climate. Don’t quote me though. :)

That lemur must have just gotten an eyeful of Michelle’s hideous blue housedress (which I can’t believe she would be seen in public wearing)!

Obama Faces Full Plate Upon Return
By JEFF ZELENY

EXCERPT

Mr. Obama had planned to make a stop on the way back to Washington – a visit to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid in Nevada – but his aides concluded that it was better to return to the White House where a full agenda awaits.

Heheh——facts on the table-—so many of the talking heads are predicting Reid’s political demise.

When you go on vacation and leave the doors and windows open on your house, don't expect to have a wonderful time.

On a side note: after fretting over whether she had left the iron on, my wife started packing it in her suitcase whenever we went somewhere.

Most Americans don't "seek" it because they cannot afford $4,000 a night resort!
+++++++++++++++

Right. What has *he* done the past 11 months? We need a vacation from his endless appearances on the RAT press channels. Truly this is what needs the vacation:

***Between golf outings, he phoned his homeland security secretary and counterterrorism adviser for regular updates.***

Do I need to say anything more?

Many Americans can’t afford a holiday since the economy is so bad.

Meanwhile, in preparation for the messiah's return [to DC], the latest headline found on google is this:

Obama consoles CIA, reviews intelligence, airport safety failures

'Cuse me while I puke.

In the second photo, all Michelle needs to go along with that pre-adolescent frock are white anklets and braids as she, her two Munchkins and the Cowardly Lion wend their way along the yellow brick road to Oz, oops.....the Zoo.

Looks like Toto, oops...Bobo..... was left back in the Emerald City on the Hill.

Arf.....

Let's hope Ohaha pulls out all the stops for the candidates' Reid.

MOMENTS TO REMEMBER Nov 2009 elections clipped the wings of Obama's plans for a permanent Democratic realignment. NJ and Va gubernatorial candidates---the only two 2009 statewide races---won Independents by a 2-1 margin, (66%-33% and 60%-30%, respectively); McCain lost Independents in each state to Obama a year earlier.

========================================

THE OBAMA SLAPDOWN Ohaha was heavly invested in the 2009 NJ gubernatorial race. His carefully-laid plans----for installing a permanent Dem majority USING ILLEGALS' VOTES----went haywire. Pulling out all the stops made Ohaha a VERY good target for voters disgusted with Ohaha’s policies.

The New Jersey race was considered a "squeaker" that would go on till all hours. But two hours after the polls closed, the Repub was declared the winner with a comfortable 4-point margin (would have been higher were it not for Dem voter fraud).

OBAMA WAS DESPERATE FOR NJ's CORZINE TO WIN. The NY Times reported:
(a) every TV ad Corzine put on the air was screened by Obama's WH team.
(b) Corzine's aides gave the WH daily briefings.
(c) Obama’s pollsters took over for Corzine’s polling team,
(d) White House operatives were on the ground for internal strategy sessions,
(e) White House operatives were orchestrating obscure pep rallies with Latinos (kept secret from voters),
(f) Ohaha campaigned in the state three times, Biden was there twice.
(g) Ohaha TV ads ran relentlessly in costly NY media markets.
(h) The crooked NJ Democrat Machine was also running at warp speed.

The New Jersey race was considered a "squeaker" that would go on till all hours. But two hours after the polls closed, the Repub was declared the winner with a comfortable 4-point margin (would have been higher were it not for Dem voter fraud).

Other pertinent facts:

>> Incumbent Dem Jon Corzine (the wealthy loser) outspent the Repub winner Chris Chirstie about 4-1.
>> New Jersey has a huge Democratic registration.
>> Corzine bragged he had 20,000 paid union helpers on the ground election day to get out the vote.
>> There was a third party candidate siphoning off Republican votes.
>> Corzine had the power of incumbency.
>> Corzine had the power of a crooked Democrat Machine cooking the vote.
>> Ohaha hid $17.5 BILLION stimlulus in New Jersey.....for Corzine's reelection campaign.

And still Corzine lost decisively.
