Obamas Plan Fifth Vacation Since July
There they go again. For the fifth time since July, the first family has set plans to board Air Force One for a frilly vacation, a 10-day return trip to exclusive Martha's Vineyard where they are expected to stay at the 28-acre oceanfront Blue Heron Farm that rents for up to $50,000 a week.
But first the Obamas will be traveling to the Gulf Coast of Florida for a mini-vacation as a way to encourage other vacationing Americans to head to the beaches that have been shunned by tourists worried about oil-slicked sands due to the Gulf oil spill. They are expected to travel to Florida this weekend, return to Washington for a few days then it's off to the Massachusetts island August 19

Eric, I half agree with you. Clinton's golfing and W's "endless summers" bugged me. Obama? He's pushing for a record. Still, him coming to Florida? Please, thank you, come again and bring friends. THERE IS NO FREAKING OIL!!!!!!!!!! And yet people's livelihoods are being ruined because journalists keep hyping this. Even in the Keys I got a very nice room at a blue collar motel for $60 (unheard of during the tarpon run in Islamorada). Hell even the guide wanted to discount the trip by $50 but I wouldn't let him as it wasn't his fault. THERE IS NO FREAKING OIL!!!!! Props to BO if he gets cameras to focus on oil free beaches.
FQ13 whose preceeeding rant is just about being a good Floridian and has no political implications.

the last vacation I had was after I got bit by a spider and was unable to move my arm for 5 weeks. >:(
Even then It was only a few days.

We should be thankful Michelle--let them eat cake--Antoinette didn't make the arrangements. I figure we the tax payers are saving about that much per day. $50,000 per week?? Chump change for the Emperor and his bitch.
Offered for your kind consideration by a thoroughly disgusted Crusader.

Reagan and W went back to the ranch, which I understand--splitting firewood is therapeutic. It wasn't roughing it, it was smoothing it. The left still complained about the cost, just for security.
Now these two are making Lindsay Lohan look responsible.

I don't know if I'd go that far. :o Eric, I half agree with you. Clinton's golfing and W's "endless summers" bugged me. Obama? He's pushing for a record. Still, him coming to Florida?

FQ, You need to remind me again, Who was it that hyped the "environmental devastation" of the "Oil soaked" Gulf Coast in the first place ?
Just cuz you deserve it ;D

Believe me, I haven't forgotten. I also haven't taken back a word said about BP. But at this point anyone who helps out is welcome. I mean, when one of the hardest working guys I've met (you try poling a 2,000 pound skiff loaded with three people around on the flats for four hours) offers to give you a discount? When your hotel costs less than it did four years ago? When you give a ridiculously lareg tip in a restaraunt because the food and service are great and you're one of the four guys in there and they should be packed? You'll take what you can get. Folks are hurting. Want to go fishing? Come to Florida's Gulf Coast. You'll never get a better deal and folks need the money. And oh, THERE IS NO FREAKING OIL!!! ;D
