Hopefully a Great White shark will close down the beaches during their stay.

I haven’t had a vacation since 2002 :/

I live in Japan, yet am below the USA poverty line.. but I keep ticking and keep going.
A vacation would be nice, but have to survive, so it’s not an option.

When Republicans live the high life or are wealthy, they are greedy and out-of-touch with ordinary, struggling Americans. When Democrats live the high life, it shows they have class, are cosmopolitan and urbane, trend-setters, the "right" people. I remember the digs at Romney's wealth - especially his wife's interest in horses, and how that was used by the media to play the class-warfare card.

But if a Dem is interested in horses - as I said - that is a sign of elegance and class.

For a guy who demonized the one-percent throughout the campaign, Obama sure likes to play with them and live like them.

Doesn’t sound like a very diverse neighborhood

Who’s house are they infesting?

At least the Bush’s and Pres. Reagan vacationed at their own houses most of the time.
Clintons and Obamas mooch off someone else usually. Either a homeowner or the taxpayers.
