The impact of Obama’s visit to Maine
Hot Air ^ | July 15, 2010 | Slublog

Posted on 07/15/2010 5:52:24 PM PDT by C19fan

The details of the Obama visit to Maine are starting to take shape, and if you’re a family who has planned a visit to Acadia National Park this weekend, or a small business owner who has set up shop on Route 3 between Hulls Cove and Bar Harbor…good luck. ...............................................

In addition, lobster fishermen who fish near the area will not be able to drop traps between midday Friday and midday Sunday. In the midst of a recession, it seems unwise to prevent people from doing their jobs and earning money. Many of those who may lose business as a result of the travel restrictions related to the Obama visit depend on the summer tourism season for the majority of their income. One weekend may not seem like a big deal, but tell that to the restaurant owners who could lose thousands of dollars or more because customers cannot get to their establishment.

Zero is like locusts just destroying everything in their path. These town in Maine have 10 - 12 weeks to make all their tourism dollars which for a place like Bar Harbor is the prime source of income. Then Zero comes in and screws everything up for his little trip.

King Obama doesn’t care about the “little people”. Why should he, there is nothing they can do about it.

Enjoy Sire, at the end of your life you will discover that all of your 72 virgins look like Michelle (talk about Hell).

Maybe Snowe and/or Collins can fix it for them. /s

Maybe as he rides by in his armor plated SUV he can command one of his SS agents to toss handfuls of coins into the crowd.

Has any other President shut down entire communities like this guy does? I honestly don’t recall this magnitude of shut downs & security with any other President.

Mayhap, but it won’t be coins, just freshly printed and worthless paper money.

From your lips. Maybe I live in a dream world, but I still envision awakening one day to the news that Obama has been found constitutionally unqualified to hold the office-AND that people care.

If only...

What I actually, honest to goodness, had in mind were some leftover souvenirs from the inauguration. Do you remember those ordinary quarters that somebody taped pictures of Obama on, and hawked for, iirc, fifteen or twenty dollars a pair? Throw the ones that never sold to the crowd. Surely the out of work fisherman and restaurant-people will cherish these timely keepsakes. /s

Considering that “Maine” has .005% of the US population yet has 2 “Senators” that have pretty much single handedly enabled the marxist takeover of the US Government, I don’t have a lot of sympathy for its residents.

He sure parties like one and thinks he rules like one. Thank God he isn’t one - yet.

I seem to recall the media giving Bush all kinds of grief about spending time in Crawford, or Walker’s Point bothering no one. Yet not a peep about the present occupier of the Executive Mansion vacationing here, there, and everywhere messing up folks vacation. Not surprised. Going to Bangor in the AM to get groceries at the Commissary next to BIA. I’ll be pissed if it messes up my schedule.

Well any novice president who will give the Queen of England and Ipod preloaded with his own speeches would probably think that quarters with his mug taped on them would be a grand and generous present. ;)
