While many Americans are cutting back on their vacation plans or eliminating them altogether, Barack Obama is setting an aspirational example for all of us. Sure, times are tough, but perhaps we can enjoy a life of leisure vicariously through our betters.
On July 16-18, the Obamas enjoyed their first summer vacation in beautiful Bar Harbor, Maine. The idyllic town has long been favorite summer getaway for the rich and powerful going back to the Gilded Age. Truly a resort fit for a king public servant.
Anticipating exhaustion from two long weeks in Washington, D.C., Michelle Obama is hosting her eldest daughter and several family friends on a "private vacation" to Spain, August 4-8. Staying at the luxurious Villa Padierna...

“It’s good to be the King.”
Y’know, I’m busting my butt just to keep the overhead of my business paid. My business pretty runs on the disposable income of others, and if you haven’t noticed lately, it’s in very short supply.
No matter. Skippy and the rest of the elites party hearty, because they know their excesses will be borne by the little people and their offspring. Who knew destroying an economy could be so much fun?
In a better time, the castle would already be under siege.
But Skippy and Company know that they are beyond any significant justice. And that’s the real travesty here.
On an earlier thread it was reported that Obama was claiming that his family had been forced to cut back, just like the rest of us! Somebody needs to put these stories together for SNL in time for Saturday night!
No but he is an excellent delegater :(
I stand corrected, sorry. I forgot about the root word “aspire”. I’ve been so cynical lately I almost thought the guy was jsut making it up and possibly a veiled slam on The One.
Glad to know. I thought it meant he wanted me to choke on my vomit.
This is a grindstone-nosing age all right and Bummer might tempt us to envy. However, it is probably for the better that Bummer does nothing in the White House for long stretches of time. Better nothing than damage.
Hey, I aspire to have that kind of vacation schedule! /s
Maybe a hint could be had from the Spanish word for vacuum cleaner: aspirador. The root idea is to suck.
One of the benefits of being clean and articulate.
Remember when Nancy Reagen actually had the temerity to buy a new set of china?
Perhaps he'll cause less harm than when he is in the White House.
Although I understand he murders a few golf balls and lies on his strokes...but what the hell, he is, after all, a damn dimocRAT.
“Obamas Take Four Vacations in One Month.”
It’s hard work to be that thin skinned.
I suspect he’s meeting with people he can’t meet with in DC, and of course the MSM covers for him
I think he should take as much vacation as he wants. The more time he spends on vacation, the less damage he can inflict working. I wish he would take a 2 year vacation
I can't wait for Sky King to be voted OUT!

And it’s harder work than you think trying to ruin America.
July 16 to 18, Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Sounds like a long weekend. When were/are the other three. [With 10 days of annual leave, when my children were young I used to take 4 long weekends, one full week, and the Friday after Thanksgiving.] I heard he was planning on trip on the Gulf Coast to encourage people to start going there again to benefit their local economy. More facts please.
If he does another call to people to swim the Gulf for “the economy”, watch and see if he sends his daughters into the Corexit water, first! He won’t.
I hear the $800,000 city manager job for Bell, Cal is now open. We can encourage Obama to send his resume to them. He can double his salary and obviously they are looking for someone with experience in government spending.A match made in heaven
As I’ve posted before, these guys are the Jeffersons, moving uptown, but without the essential humanity.
