Amid crisis in Ukraine, Obama will vacation in Florida Rick Moran

What will it take to get President Obama to cancel a vacation? Apparently, the prospect of war in Ukraine doesn't rate forgoing a little fun in the sun for the Obamas. According to CNN, the White House schedule still shows the First Family jetting off t Key Largo following a presidential appearance in Florida.

Daily Caller reports this will be the third tax-payer financed vacation for the Obamas this year.

The foreign policy crisis has occupied the bulk of Obama’s workdays this week, though he’s also carved out time to introduce his budget proposal, press lawmakers to raise the minimum wage, and encourage Latinos to sign up for Obamacare – all topics Republicans fiercely oppose. On Friday the President visits a school in Miami to encourage more teenagers to apply for college financial aid.

It’s a balance Obama has attempted to strike throughout his presidency, from navigating the Arab Spring to sizing up the young new leader of North Korea – all while attempting to shore up a sputtering U.S. economy.

The President also isn’t letting the incursion of Russian troops into Ukraine’s Crimea peninsula prevent him and his family from enjoying a weekend away from Washington, currently beset by cold temperatures and sloppy piles of melting snow.

While the White House signaled earlier in the week that a long-planned getaway in South Florida could be nixed due to overseas events, the official presidential schedule still shows the commander-in-chief and his wife remaining in Key Largo for the weekend.

The President always vacations with a full retinue of aides and secure communications equipment, meaning the requirements of the job won’t be far away during Obama’s stay in the Florida Keys.

So will Joe Biden.

My guess is he’s staying with Jon Stryker one of his biggest supporters. Not all of the residents of Ocean Reef are Republicans.

He has a pen and a phone and a bitch-en' vacation in Florida, his third vacation this year.

Crimea must not be too much of an issue for B. Hussein O.

Putin - 1

Obama - 0

Merkel - 0

My pets who have traveled with me have always had to fly cargo when, I think, they should be first class!

There is a airline that caters to flying pets. Cargo often presents dangers to animals.

The owners of the pet airliner found a niche and filled it - Obama must hate that what with them being a small enterprise.

I meant Biden...too much coffee today, not enough concentration on my part. Thx.

[Dr. Thorne]

I should think Key West would be more to Obuttboy's taste.

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

Good question - Oh wait, I think when the gop caved two times ago the tours were restarted.

[morphing libertarian]

When the going gets tough, the poof goes golfing.
