Good news: Despite economic apocalypse, Obama’s vacation still a go
Hot Air ^ | 10 Aug 2011 | Allahpundit

I know what you’re thinking. “It seems like just yesterday that he was talking about a ‘new sense of urgency’ on deficits and job growth.” You’re wrong, though. It was two days ago. Maybe the mood passed?

Over to you, Zero Hedge guy:

We bring you this special announcement courtesy of the White House which has informed that American plebs that following a fantastic job well done, in which the market is now back to pre-QE2 levels, unemployment is near record highs, delays for presidential press meetings compare with Newark airplane take offs, pessimism is at record highs, America’s credit rating has just been downgraded, the country was nearly bankrupted, and sales of end of the world provisions are through the roof (not to mention ammunition), president Obama is taking a well-deserved vacation at Martha’s Vineyard at the end of the month…

Our advice: buy ELY stock: with the market about to implode, the president is sure to make at least one company’s year.

The Bidens have already decamped to the Hamptons, you’ll be pleased to know, and plenty of European leaders are still on vacay despite the tremors in the eurozone and ominous economic forecasts coming out of Germany. Although that’s beginning to change: Sarkozy canceled the rest of his trip to deal with the risk that France is next up for a downgrade and the Netherlands’ parliament recalled its prime minister to discuss the Greece bailout agreed to last month.

But you know what? If O is dead set on a little Vineyard frolicking while the global economy shudders, let him go. He knows the political risk of getting caught by a photographer playing hacky sack on a day when the market drops another 500 points.

His approval rating’s already perilously close to breaking through the 40th-percentile floor; 73 percent say the country’s on the wrong track; and just one in four Americans still has confidence in the federal government to solve economic problems. ------------------Keep it up Barry soon you'll be on a permanent vacation!

Unfortunatly his frequent vacations are far more than that. With all the security he can do some nasty dealings over the phone and no one is wiser for that.

When he was a “Constitutional Law Professor” do you know what the main objection of his colleagues was?

That he was LAZY.

And he **IS**.

Didn’t he just get back from a vacation? How many vacations has this guy been on since he’s been in office? How many golf games has he played?

This is good news. He can’t cause any further damage while he’s vacationing. Or at least there’s hope that he won’t.

He is vacationing at the end of the month? That’s plenty of time for more televised addresses to the nation.

As someone educated me the other day on FR, Baraq was never a professor, only a lecturer.

The MSM was too busy investigating the DNA of Palin’s Down Syndrome child to mention that fact.

Uh, that would be almost every day lately.

And an adjunct instructor at that which means it was a temporary job with no tenure possible and at the very lowest rung of the academic employment ladder. No status, no permanent employment, probably no office, and bottom-of-the-barrel pay. This guy has been a zero from day one. If we were living in a parliamentary democracy there would have been a vote of no confidence months ago and he would have been thrown out on his ear.
