Add “vacation-destroyer” to the list of unflattering barbs being hurled at Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The ongoing crisis between Ukraine and Russia has placed President Obama’s family vacation plans in jeopardy, according to a new report.
Obama and the First Lady were scheduled to head to Miami on Friday for an event focusing on education, Politico reported, and the couple’s daughters were planning to join them afterward for a weekend trip in the area.
But, due to the continuing international crisis sparked by Russia’s troops moving into Ukraine’s Crimean peninsula, the first family may have to cancel their trip.
“The President had planned to stay in South Florida with his family for the remainder of the weekend,” White House spokesman Josh Earnest told Politico. “However, it is possible the President may return to the White House on Friday as events unfold in Ukraine.”
Tensions in Eastern Europe rose Thursday after Obama signed an executive order that gave the U.S. the ability to freeze the assets of certain Russian and Ukrainian individuals and companies.
Earlier in the day, Crimea’s parliament voted to join Russia, with the Moscow-backed government setting a referendum on the decision in 10 days.
i am still contemplating a Putin/Palin ticket for 2016,,,very very well balanced.
I sure wish he’d cancel a vacation based on what he said years ago when he was elected ... “we’re all going to have to make sacrifices.”
Still waiting to see his sacrifice.
That’s OK, 0dingleberry. Don’t do US or the world any favors.
Nope, China is coming up soon for Mooch, the chillun’s and mama.
I just realized that Nobama gives others on public assistance something to strive for...
Oh boo-hoo. Cry me a river baby. Didn’t they just return from Hawaii?
I imagine the chef running out of Waygu Beef and Lobsters would be a bigger International crisis to the Obama's than the Ukraine situation
Plus he's going to the GAY TOWN of Key West.....he'd NEVER miss THAT CHANCE!! He'll almost look MANLY there......well, not as MANLY as the Mooch......
Thanks, so many I lost track there..
Putin needs to be able to go on vaca in the south of Russia just like Bammy does here.
Awww, that’d just break the hearts of motorists and vacationers down in South Florida.
That tall guy in the middle looks a lot like Mel Martinez, former RINO senator from Florida.
Just awful. How can anyone expect this President to work more than 30 grueling days without a vacation?
I mean, if he doesn’t get a break soon, he just might start missing security council meetings ... oh wait...
Don’t worry. Michelle will bring you back a souvenir. Do they have a Tiffany’s there?
“...see his sacrifice...”
Only Reggie sees that!
“But, Daddy. Why should we not get to go? Momma said she doesn’t care if you come or not.”
It’s sad that blacks are so stupid as to keep supporting this fraud. I wonder what the percentage of blacks who don’t play golf and have never been on a vacation.
It reminds me of what my doctor told me when Obama got elected. He asked a black patient if he was excited about having a black president. The guy said “He ain’t as black as me.”
This family of grifters have taken more vacations in five years — and on our dime! — then 99.999% of families worldwide have taken throughout their entire lifetimes!
We haven’t had a “vacation” vacation since 1996!!!!! I’ve been able to take time off from work, but most of that time was so I could work around the house, and repair shit from winters past.
And Mom! Mom tags along on all these exotic trips!
What an utterly despicable family. Chicago grifters; the whole lot of them.
