Vacationing President to Press: "We're Buying Shrimp, Guys. Come On."
ABCNews.com ^ | 08/25/2010 | Jake Tapper

Posted on 08/25/2010 1:04:44 PM PDT by OldDeckHand

President Obama, First Lady Michelle Obama, and their two daughters Sasha and Malia traveled to Nancy's Restaurant on the waterfront of the Oak Bluffs section of Martha’s Vineyard Wednesday afternoon.

Crowds gathered to watch as the president, wearing his White Sox baseball cap, noted the abundance of Red Sox caps. He and the First Lady shook hands and posed for pictures with folks in the crowd. The president ordered from the take-out window of the snack bar section of the eatery.

"I love your watch," one woman told the First Lady, referencing a purple watch on her left wrist.

"Oh, thank you,” the First Lady said. “It was a gift.”

She gestured towards her husband, who was shaking hands behind her.

"I think somebody told him,” she said.

"Where's my wife?" the president asked at one point.

Crowds shouted for her attention.

"How you guys doing?" she asked. "Drying off? Finally."

You’ve noticed that too, huh? Of course you know you’re a racist for pointing it out though, right?

Now, I lived in Falmouth, MA, years ago.

There ain't NO WAY that the group of "yewts" shown here are residents of Martha's Vineyard, period.

These were bussed and boated in to the photo op, without question.

This is consistent with the phoney idea that living on welfare for four genrations gets you as ticket to buy a multi-million dollar residence on "The Island".....right.....

"Oak Bluffs has a large black population and they’ve got bucks"

Is there any Section 8 Housing on Martha's Vineyard, or Nantucket ?

Why not?

Is she drinking out of some other guy’s cup? Or is that her assistant holding the Queen’s drink?

Here's the Reuters caption:

U.S. first lady Michelle Obama takes a sip of a drink from friend Dr. Eric Whitaker as President Barack Obama looks on as they arrive for lunch at Nancy'sRestaurant in Martha's Vineyard in Oak Bluffs, Massachusetts, August 25, 2010.

Must be some weight loss drink he's concocted for her.

Shrimp?

What a bunch of maroons.

It is all about belly clams and lobster rolls.

What arrogant, cold hearted, selfish and despicable creeps!

God bless and protect our
brave troops. Their CIC

Check out Marie's latest "let them eat shrimp" getup. Probably only set her back $982.

Caption ?

To add insult to injury, publications such as Women’s Wear Daily have the gall to say she is “best dressed”!

Delusional, aren’t they?

I could see a grandma making a little dress
out of leftover scraps for her 2 or 3 yr. old
little granddaughter, but hefty Marie ?

The president and first lady were out for the second evening in a row on Martha's Vineyard. For tonight's dinner date, Mrs. O chose a loose-flowing, multi-print tunic dress, paired with black leggings and flats. Gold bracelets, earrings and a slim clutch completed the bold, easy-going look.

Update: Mrs. O is wearing the “collage dress” by the London-based Nigerian designer Duro Olowu, known for his luxurious fabrics and vibrant prints."

Olowu is married to Thelma Golden, Chief Curator and Director of the Studio Museum in Harlem:

I have a feeling I was WAAAY off on my speculation of the cost of Marie's dress in the post above.

I think his job was to get elected and then others took over. The One and the Wookie are taking full advantage of their four year all expenses paid vacation.
