Fresh off three days of barnstorming in the Midwest, President Obama will spend the morning at the White House in two closed-door meetings, first with his senior economic advisors in the Oval Office then with his national security team in the Situation Room.
In the afternoon, Obama heads to the island oasis of Martha’s Vineyard off the coast of Massachusetts, where he’s expected to spend the next 10 days vacationing with his family.

But think about it. This is a good thing! A least he's not in Washington trying to destroy the American economic system.
Can’t cut into 10 straight days of wall-to-wall ice cream and golf. So this morning’s meetings will produce the new wonderful revolutionary jobs plan, Tada: )collect more taxes, borrow more money, buy more votes for 2012.
The market down 500 and Obama goes to Martha’s Vineyard. All the while, talking about “shared sacrifice”.
If the GOP nominee can’t use this, and can’t win... it’s time to scrap the GOP.
I realize that any President does not really “take” a vacation.
With the malaise this country is in, taking 10 days “off” just doesn’t look good...especially with so many people not working.
Face it, “O” w ent on the bus tour because he literally did not know what to do with himself.
He had a hole in his calendar and wanted to get the most MSM bang for the buck and went out ‘into the country’
It’s not like he had anything to say he COULDN”T have said right in DC
Hasn’t been mentioned much yet, but if Obama wants to win Florida ( which he will NOT) he should have vacationed down here..
“I realize that any President does not really “take” a vacation.”
Have you been paying attention? When Obama is at work, he barely works. I’d bet he takes a vacation the same way any average non business owner takes a vacation.
Notice I stipulate non business owner. I believe an average business owner has more responsibility and dedication than Obama.
This guy is such a train wreck, the one thing we did not need is him here drawing in a hurricane.
“Hasn’t been mentioned much yet, but if Obama wants to win Florida ( which he will NOT) he should have vacationed down here..”
Naw, too many folks would have asked him for his citizenship papers..........
LOL
“A least he’s not in Washington trying to destroy the American economic system.”
BUMP!
Notice that his bus tour was only in productive white areas. He didn’t take it to the inner cities. He was probably afraid the tires would get stolen. As for his vacation, this is what happens when people have nothing, live off of credit cards and then fall into money, someone elses. They spend it as fast as they can.....before it goes away and it will go away if the people have anything to say about it.
Obama is a typical welfare recipient. He's at the grocery store piling lobster and steak into the shopping cart, paying for it with his food stamps, driving back to his section 8 housing on public transportation without a care in the world. Meanwhile, the tab is really getting handed to his clueless kids.
I don’t want him here eiher..but from a political perspective, it woudl have given him great publicity..he cod have visited several cities..Orlando ( done Disney World with the kids) Tampa (Busch Gardens) Miami ( South Beach)
Maxine Waters isn’t happy with him. That’s not a good sign.
0bama should invite 30-40 kids from the Hood to share his vacation home.
Look for a dem challenger soon.
Dang it, and thanks to our investment portfolio tanking, I have to break it to my kids and the dog that our 10 day break in Martha’s Vineyard is on hold
Hey Barry, send us some t-shirts! I can let you know the sizes....
So the bus tour is over?
Anyone with any credibility whatsoever has run away from Obama like he's fallout in Jonestown Kool-Aide.
What the guy is going to do for the next 18 months is quite problematic. He needs to be rescued and extracated from office. He's got nowhere to go and nowhere to hide.
Martha's Vineyard is Obama's Corsica.
