America's "Vacaying" First Family: A Portent?

America's "Vacaying" First Family: A Portent?

. . . As I’ve previously speculated, it may just be that Barack and Michelle smell major changes on their horizons, changes they believe in with as much intensity as they felt in 2008.

Former White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs recently opined that Barack Hussein Obama isn’t wedded to his job as president and Obama has said much the same thing. He also predicted to Matt Lauer in February, 2009 that his presidency would be a “one-term proposition” if the economy did not recover in 3 years.

See his prediction, and his subsequent retreat, here: http://bit.ly/qXlPtj

In view of the unfortunate reality that, 2 1/2 years into his tenure, the economy shows no signs of recovery and is swirling in the toilet, it makes sense that the Obamas are packing their bags even as they continue to milk the president’s job for all its worth.

Recent actions by the First Couple reinforce the idea that they are planning to vacate the premises at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on or about January 20th, 2013, or sooner should they get a better opportunity or if the president finally concedes ineptness and was unqualified to hold his office in the first place.

How else can we explain their contemptuous, callous disregard for the concerns of the American people during a critical time other than, one, either Obama simply wants out of the presidency or, two, he doesn’t have the slightest clue on what to do about the unemployment crisis, or both?

Now, no one could possibly begrudge the leader of the free world taking some R&R time and Allah only knows how hard Obama works–25/8, according to his bride!

Still, as in comedy, timing and appearances are everything in politics. . .

How Obama Spent (Some) of His Summer Vacation

How Obama Spent (Some) of His Summer Vacation

“V-A-See-A-T-I-O-N, we’re on vacation, we’re gonna have a ball!” (Connie Francis)

It may be antiquated and not “with it” today but a popular back-to-school, first week assignment to get kids back to the grind used to be to have them write about how they spent their summer vacations. Most kids could write at least something on that easy topic.

If little Barry Obama were heading back to classes following summer vacation 2010, he would have a lot to write about. If he included where and how he spent this year’s vacations, to date, he could almost literally write volumes.

Compliments of IOwntheWorld.com, we present this pictorial insight into how our commander-in-chief, our president, our leader and chief bottle-washer, who had vowed, “I will not rest until everyone has a job, a good wage, and benefits,” has been spending his last vacation during this, America’s “recovery summer.”

Suffice to say, Obama, now being termed President Clark Griswold in a few quarters, has never, ever rested on his laurels nor on his vacations. Maybe he simply forgot that pledge to the American people and forgot those many millions of Americans still without a job, still without a good wage, and still without benefits.

Then, however, it would seem he has a surprisingly bad memory for such a smart dude since he’s forgotten any number of pledges and promises.

The pictures depict the president and First Lady thoroughly enjoying some ice cream during their vacation up there in the playground of the very rich and very famous, Martha’s Vineyard, where, for some very bizarre reason, GWB tee shirts were outselling BHO tee shirts. . .
