Nero fiddled while Rome burned. Obama jetted off in AF1 and played golf.

At least Nero was more carbon-friendly.

Heavens above, there was even a Style Section piece about this in the Washington Post this morning. I did not read it all, but it wasn’t exactly complimentary to Mr. Obama.

Bush usually went back to Crawford for vacation. I wonder why Obama never goes back to Chicago?

He’s going to Martha’s Vineyard to show solidarity with migrant farm workers by picking grapes there.

“I wonder why Obama never goes back to Chicago?”

Who is in that big house Rezko bought, and what are they doing?

Is Obama taking his weird paranoid black bus to this upscale liberal elite bastion? Or does he feel those people are 'safe'? Americans are nuts who vote for a guy who slaps them in the face with every choice...

Are machine guns mounted on top of Obama's bus?

Obama would NEVER take that monstrosity to the middle east - Muslims might be offended that the President of the United States thinks they're all killers. But for us? Those who cling to religion and guns? Yep, he's got to encased in layers of weirdness...

Tells us about how he feels about middle class American....

This vacation will not go over well with the American people and I bet the Won has been advised to cancel it but the Won Won. Countdown until he is out of office....

I wonder if he’ll be exploring the unemployment problems in that area. If so, here’s the government report to get him started...

WOW—That is quite a house. A fascinating piece, too. I had no idea Stalin had so many dachas. What a vile man he was.
