CHILMARK - President Obama made the most of his first day of vacation, playing 18 holes at the chi-chi Vineyard Golf Club after taking daughters Sasha and Malia book shopping in Vineyard Haven.

The prez, who has played more than 40 rounds of golf while in office, continued his links roll at the private, 18-hole course in Edgartown where he teed off with his favorite golfing companion, White House aide Marvin Nicholson, Chicago BFF Eric Whitaker and House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn.

What exactly does "chi-chi" mean? I'm a little behind on the latest jive talk of the rich and famous. If I'm President Obama, I think I'd just settle for a quick game of putt-putt right now. Anyway, I hope a good time was had by all.

Good gravy, doesn’t he nauseate you? Bammie golfs, while Iran loads up with nuclear fuel.

The nation’s in a “recession” not the White Hut.

Absolutely perfect names for these two a-holes. And they are definitely the worst Presidential couple in history.

Someone should put that slogan on a t-shirt....

I heard the “George Bush do you missed me yet?” tshirts were big sellers on the vineyard right now. Wonder if he has seen one?

I did a google search and found this (at the bottom)....man they protect him from everything....is it coincident that Republicans are said to have taken more vacations. The reason that President Bush II took so much vacation is because he had a ranch in Texas that he went to during the month of August. Reagan had a ranch in California that he would ride horses and clear brush. The Obama’s did not have that type of vacation house to go to and have to rely on vacations in various places as opposed to one destination. Perhaps he needs to purchase some kind of vacation place where he can spend time just there.

Q: Has President Obama taken more vacation time than his predecessors?

A: According to one count, Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush spent more time on “vacation” during their first year than President Obama did. Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton spent less time on “vacation.”

According to “one” account? Sounds like it is a Democratic account.

It looks like a cutesy version of “chic” to me.

[napscoordinator]

Probably...too coincidental that the Republicans took more vacations than the Democrats.
