Island ambulance service bears the cost of Obama vacation
The Martha's Vineyard Times ^ | Jun 15, 2016 | Rich Saltzberg

When resident Obama returns to Martha’s Vineyard in August, Tri-Town Ambulance will be expected to dedicate a crew to the security detail.

In the last year of his residency, and for the seventh time in eight years, resident Obama and his family will vacation on Martha’s Vineyard in August. Past vacation itineraries have included almost daily golf outings, trips to the beach, and dinner out with friends.

Each time the resident sets out on Island roadways, he will be accompanied by a security contingent that will include State Police and Secret Service. And within the motorcade as it speeds along the Island’s rural roads will be a Tri-Town Ambulance ...

The responsibility and cost for meeting that request fall on the Island’s volunteer ambulance departments.

...

Last year the Obamas enjoyed 16 days on the Vineyard. This August, they are expect to remain on the Island for 17 days ... at the home of Joanne Hubschman on Gosnold’s Way off Prospect Hill Road, which overlooks the north shore and Vineyard Sound. The seven-bedroom, nine-bath, 8,100-square-foot house sits on a 10-acre lot and features 17 rooms in total, expansive water views of Vineyard Sound, an infinity pool and hot tub, and a dual tennis-basketball court.

...

August is a busy month. In order to maintain normal EMS coverage when the resident arrives, Tri-Town must temporarily add personnel.

...

After five years of providing an ambulance and personnel, Chief Rose said he asked the Secret Service to help defray the cost to provide ambulance staff. Essentially, Chief Rose was told it was the town’s “civic duty” and “an honor.” No funding was offered.

“So we politely told them that we couldn’t do it anymore

Every volunteer on the Vineyard probably voted for the schmuck. Embrace the suck.

So Obastard can shift around billions of dollars without congressional approval for his illegal amnesty, Syrian refugee program, and globull warming UN slush fund, but he can’t find a few thousand dollars to pay the cost burden he places on others by his choice of where to go for vacation? He’s a low-life.

The only year he didn’t go to Martha’s Vineyard was 2012......bad optics leading up to the election. Why, oh why don’t the sheeple see through this manipulator???

Why the answer is simple. The wealthy residents of Martha’s Vineyard. should vote themselves higher taxes to subsidize the support requirements for the Obama vacation. After all these elitists insist higher taxes are the answer to every problem in our society. Have a problem, just tax the serfs more and throw money.

Thank God they don’t have to pay for it. And Moochelle and the girls, including her abominable mother, and 100 staff members will be tired after their trip to Spain and Africa soon.

Is that extortion or slavery?

So, put an ambulance on the transport plane from Andrews AFB and a crew composed of military medics. Problem solved.

It’s not required under any law. Refuse or demand payment. It’s a SS responsibility.

The Obamas are once again expected to stay in Chilmark at the home of Joanne Hubschman on Gosnold’s Way off Prospect Hill Road, which overlooks the north shore and Vineyard Sound. The seven-bedroom, nine-bath, 8,100-square-foot house sits on a 10-acre lot and features 17 rooms in total, expansive water views of Vineyard Sound, an infinity pool and hot tub, and a dual tennis-basketball court.


Send the bill to Joanne Hubschman.

From the article:

Reached by telephone, Special Agent Brian Deck of the U.S. Secret Service field office in Boston told The Times that the Secret Service had no mechanism to reimburse for ambulance services, whether provided on Martha’s Vineyard or anywhere else in the country.

Then there ought to be no special ambulance coverage.

For ANY president, if they will not pay the cost.
