Obama Grapples with Vacation Decision

Obama’s vacation. TheHill.com, I swear when I went to the website and read the story and I swear my computer screen started crying. The story is a tear-soaked article out this morning about what they say is one of the toughest decisions Obama has ever faced in his presidency. I’m not making that up. That is how they characterized this. One of the toughest decisions he’s ever faced in his presidency, and the decision is — dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut dadelut — whether to go to Hawaii for his Christmas vacation or not. You see, Moochelle (My Belle) and the kids are already occupying Hawaii while Obama remains in Washington to occupy the White House.

The sad thing is that The Hill in their tear-soaked piece might actually be right here, this could be one of Obama’s toughest calls ever. But in the end, Obama, like Clinton, like everybody else, is gonna do what the focus groups and the polls say will be the best optics. His reelection comes first even before vacationing in Hawaii. But I mean, folks, look, I mean passing up spending 17 days alone on a tropical island with Michelle Obama, what could he be thinking? Who could pass that up? Ahem. But you have to wonder, at least I do, as a married guy, I have to wonder here why Michelle and the girls couldn’t have simply waited a few days. Why? I mean it’s just today, it’s December the 21st, and she’s been gone four days. She split the scene on the 17th.

The kids are still in school. A lot of people’s kids are still in school. Why couldn’t they have all just gone to Camp David? It’s a Christmasy destination. But think of how this indecision is inconveniencing his Secret Service detail. You may not know this. George W. Bush spent Christmas in the White House. You know why? He got out of there after Christmas, went down to Crawford, but he spent Christmas in the White House so his Secret Service detail could stay at home in Washington and spend some time with their families. Now, he mighta hightailed it for Crawford on the 26th, but he spent Christmas in the White House. Obama, of course that’s not a concern, and he probably might be saying, “Secret Service, why, hell, family or Hawaii, who cares when, I’ll opt for Hawaii.” Who knows.

But Michelle (My Belle) and the kids couldn’t wait, just like they couldn’t wait four hours to accompany Obama to Martha’s Vineyard back in August. They left four hours early. And we had the story out of Oahu about how much this is costing. What is it, $4 million this whole thing is gonna cost, a hundred thousand dollars minimum a day, and that did not factor Michelle (My Belle) and the kids going early on their own plane before Obama takes his two 747s out there.

    Yea, well, Obumer, Moochelle and the kids are sponging off the tax base, anyhow. Do you expect Obumer to make a decision? He has to have a white man do the thinking for him. And it’s not Bite Me the real “terrorist.” It’s George Sore-ass. Obumer is NOT a leader!! Leaders usually take the lead and make decisions. But not Obumer! He leads from behind and he’s sticking it to everybody in the tax base. Of course, dictators don’t usually make decisions. They just dictate to everybody else on what to do and say, etc… Obumer and the DemonRats don’t want to help Americans get good jobs. They want to destroy the American economy, if they haven’t already done so. They refuse to admit that they’re to blame for our abysmal economy. They refuse to fix it. They just want to make it worse, at the expense of the American people. And the liars in our mainstream media and in our White House blame the Republicans. The DemonRats are waging class warfare instead of working with the Republicans to fix the economy. They’re doing grave damage to American society and looking the other way. This isn’t only unethical it’s down right treasonous. See website: http://www.haasstrep68.com

      Good grief, don’t you ever get tired of hearing yourself spewing the same crap over and over? At least say something new or interesting, just for a change of pace. I guess the more time you spend here the less is available for making conservatives look like idiots someplace where it matters…

      • david

        What would be nice, new, and very refreshing would be some articles about Obama’s efforts to reduce government size and costs. Unfortunately they don’t exist. Perhaps your “literary” efforts would be better focused on why no suc articles exist.

    • Pat

      Mark Knoller of CBS recently did a report on Obama’s travel in 2010. He used Air Force One 172 times in 2010 and said he was “not going to be spending as much time at the White House in 2011.”

      In 2010, Knoller said Obama made 65 domestic trips over 104 days, and six trips to eight countries over 22 days. Not counting six vacation trips over 32 days. He took 196 helicopter trips, signed 203 pieces of legislation and squeezed in 29 rounds of left-handed golf. Considering that it costs $181,757 per hour for Air Force One, this is no small potatoes. The tally for 2011 has not come out yet, but isn’t it about time that he stayed in DC and worked on the huge problems facing the country instead of running around on the taxpayer dollar?

      WHY DOSEN’T CONGRESS HAVE THE GUTS TO BRING UP IMPEACHMENT CHARGES AGAINST THAT IDIOT???? WOULD SAVE US AND THE REST OF THE WORLD A LOT OD HEADACHES

      • Kookie

        That’s what I’d like to know. Stalling on impeachment. What’s holding them up? Money bribes? Threats? Let’s get it done. Stopping Obama from traveling around campaigning on Air Force One and the other airplanes would help pay the national debt. His kids getting a month off from shool for Christmas vacation? Obama betting a month’s vacation for a failed job?

      • zeldazucker

        Because they don’t have the GUTS ! We would have to march on Washington to get it started and raise H. But then a nation that has let our Right just pass by us like the wind, do you think they would have the
        GUTS?.

          Impeachment That IS

  • Dalgast

    Screw this DAN, the sorry Son of wild dogs is going to be gone in a year, and if this country survives it, that BOY is going to have to go into hiding for the rest of his life, and that water buffalo he calls his spouse hopefully will be over some Kanakie’s mantile. The little picaninnies well, they can atleast be sold to some Saudi for his pets.

    • http://conservativebyte Mac

      Pick on the SOB and his other half but leave the kids alone. They have to carry his history the rest of their life is that not enough?

      • Dor

        They also carry his genes.

        • zeldazucker

          Dor…..AMEN TO THAT

    • Donna

      All I see in your post is hate. Nothing productive at all. Stuff like that is why the “republicans” are all lumped into the category of racists and haters. Thank you very much, NOT!

      • URKiddinMee

        Obozo is fair game, and when Mooshell is trying to tell the rest of us how and what we should eat, so is she. But the kids should be off limits no matter how bad their parents are. And I am as right wing a conservative as you’ll encounter on these boards, and I am offended by this type of rhetoric. Plus it gives fodder for the liberals to lump us all together as “haters” and “racists.” I’m thinking YOU may just BE a liberal who posts this type of inane chit just to create that very impression. Just sayin’

      • http://facebook pat

        nice post donna,,,the ones spewing this hate are not true conservs,,stick to the facts and crimes,,thats what this is for,,

    • Dor

      Maybe he’s going into hiding and not to Hawaii. Has anyone seen a picture of Michelle and her daughter’s in Hawaii? When he signs, and he will sign the NDAA bill allowing the military to abduct Americans at their discretion, ALL HELL’S GONNA BREAK LOOSE!!!!! Maybe the idea is to get him and his family far away.

  • Terry C

    Who’s going to pay for his vacations when he is out of office. If the most difficult questions he has faced so far in his term of office is wiether or not to go on vacation, who is God’s name is running this country?

    • david

      ditto!!!

      • Thomas

        I wish he would go on a permanent vacation until his sorry ass is booted out of office!!!!!!

    • David

      O’bummer’s been on more vacations since he’s been president than I have in my entire life.

    • Kathy Deruiter

      We pretty much know who is running this country….his Socialist “czars”, the left wing loonies and George Soros. Obama is really just a puppet head. Believe me, he doesn’t give a rat’s butt about how it affects anyone else, i.e., the taxpayer, re the cost. Oh, excuse me, did I read somewhere that he at least pays for the rental of the vacation house? Gee, really big hearted of him! It’s the least he can do!!!!

      P.S. Don’t forget the trip to Africa that Michelle made, with her daughters, her mother, etc., etc., etc.

    • zeldazucker

      Terry, They will have to stay at home like the rest of us when Uncle Sugar stops
      footing the bill.

  • Stephen

    Nobody shows Americans about class warfare better then Obama…..Nobody spends other peoples money better then Obama…Obama and his wife have No Class.

  • Deb Hanes

    Probably is his toughest decision.. why doesn’t he just ask his boss , Soros, what to do, like he does with e very other decision he makes.

    Go on vacation Barry.. no one cares where in hell you are!

    • arpiem

      I care where he is. Whenever he’s in the WH, bad things happen. He loves that big airplane and even takes it through the drive-thru at KFC. Or is it Popeye’s?

  • DOOM161

    By my count, it is the hardest decision he has had to make while in office. He unfortunately outsources all his other decisions to people like Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, and Kathleen Sebelius.

  • lucitee

    True Patriot, what MOST people do not/refuse to realize that this “marble in a blender” is the PUPPET for the Middle East oil Barons! He has been TRAINED in the ways to destroy America from “within”! For those who do not BELIEVE HE and his ASSistants were “hand picked” by Countries who HATE us, good luck when you go “over the clift” WITH HM! These multi-billionaires have “raised him” for one single PURPOSE and will NOT give up easily! PREPARE for it! Next December will “go down” in INFAMY unless something CHANGES!
    Such as PRAYER, supplication, beseeching, begging, God to save our Country! Armageddon? Or a unreasonable facsimile? If it IS, those who love and believe in God will be “caught up” and OUT of the chaos! What a WONDERFUL thought and promise!

  • msbets

    This pos is nothing but disgusting, and the old hag is WORSE than the pos is!!!

  • Ellen

    Maybe he will stay in the white house with LARRY SINCLAIR!!!!

    • uwho

      LMAO for feelation?? I wonder if those kids are even his.

      • Littlepat

        I wondered the same thing, It would get him a lot of sympathy if he couldn’t join his lovely family on vacation and had to stay behind and “work” during Christmas. The Demo voters would eat that up. And think would a good time he could have “home alone”. Just him and a couple of “playmates” like Reggie Love.

  • ALIKATT

    I heard Moochelle found out they have a really big target store there, complete with AP photogs who just happen to stumble in for a lens cleaner or something…..

  • Joy

    “To spend another $4 million for a selfish vacation for myself and family, or not to spend it, that is the question. To grapple with the outrageous slings of being on the 7th hole in Hawaii, or to remain in Washington to do the job I was voted in for, be it far more noble?”
    “Its warmer in Hawaii: I’m gone.”

  • gml

    This is the time he does most of the damage to our country. After everybody leaves he always pulls some under the table stunt. He could give a damn about how much of the taxpayers dollars he spends. He is a n*****r with a stolen credit card. Watch him. He is going to do something while everyone is looking at the other hand!!!!!

    • Larrya PA.

      you are right about that gml

    • OldNYFirefighter

      He is far worse when he doesn’t get his own way & his temper tantrums turn him far more demonic. The Tea Party Repubs a pissing him off to no end, so expect more unconstitutional crap to be enacted through Presidential Decree or Executive Order. We better vote for whoever becomes the RNC candidate of choice. Obama has to be removed ASAP to put a damper on this Socialist movement. We can always vote for a more true Conservative choice in 2016, as another Obama term will be the death of this Constitutional Republic. Gingrich or Romney are not true Conservatives, but even Bozo the Clown would be a better choice than Obama. Maybe Bachmann, Palin or West, who are true Constitution Loving Conservatives can run after we get rid of the RINO’s in the DNC.

  • Edward

    Keep your ass at home in DC and get congress in action……………….bring Mooochelle and the other teat suckers back from Hawaii and suffer like the other 99.9% of the country you have placed in trouble………………………Moochelle lying on the beach like a whale and some poor military bastard is missing christmas with his family……………sorry ass example for the Commander in Chief Dictator

  • Pegi

    This was one of his toughest decisions? My God, this man is unreal! I understand Camp David isn’t good enough for them even though it’s the safest place he could be and it wouldn’t cost taxpayers an arm and a leg. This man has no concept of how to save money…he just spends and spends. And thanks to his decision, none of the entourage that follows them everywhere will spend Christmas at home.

  • http://InternetExplorer Homer

    Who worries about the cost of a vacation when the taxpayers are footing the bill, certainly not the Obamas. What the hell is a few more million in the hole. This man and his family is are total disgrace to the Country and the White House.

  • frank

    MORE B——K ARROGANCE!!!!!!!!! ANYONE PAYING ATTENTION!!!!!!

  • http://verizon.net Bud

    Obama could take the rest of his term off and believe the less he was involved the better off our government would be. It has been in a continuous downswing since he took office so would it be any worse if he was on a permanent vacation? I doubt it would be.

  • twix

    Edward, you had me laughing with your comment.
    Right on!

  • http://ConservativeByte Dale Rozendaal

    Obama,- I have crapped my pants. If anyone drinks Coffee with cream & sugar I call that Obama Coffee Half white/ half black. I drink black Anyway, Hawaii Vacation, this I might be able to go on a $100.00 hundred dollar vacation. That is all I can afford, this bastard & basdardees, go wherever. Their hearts desire no matter if the jet is full or not. And if Obama is with them. I have preached my dis approval of these travels to my Congressman & Senators. Pull the keys from the jets an ground them. The dumbass, doesn’t care what the cost is, or where he goes, along as their is a Golf course. I can’t wait till Nov. 2012 To show him how much this country & voters despise. Him & his family. And when Jan comes around to boot his ass out in the street. Get-along-little -doggy, & FatAss. Give them the buzzer!!!! Either that, get the Rail & Tar & feathers!!!!! Can of turpertine-tin cans & corn cob. Like one does with unwanted neighbor dogs !!! If some of you don’t understand about turptine Tin cans & corn cob. Explaintation—-First take the corn cob, rub there ass raw. next take the tin cans an tie them to there tails. Last take turpertine an pour over the ass (rawness). The dogs take off running really fast as hard as they can. And make matters worse the tin cans, fly off the ground an beat there butts. Causing them keep on running. And Yepping all the way. Back to there home, they never come back again!!!

      • OldNYFirefighter

        He he, that is what the farmer’s used to do to dogs killing their chickens. It sounds mean, but the only other alternative is a bullet, so the turps is a better choice, doesn’t do them any lasting harm & they never return to attack & kill chickens anymore. I wonder if it would work on Congress Critters making laws against our wishes? It would definitely make them drag their arses back to their homes with an attitude change about acting against their constituents best interests. Dogs & Congress Critters are a lot alike in a lot of ways.

  • JVB

    Doesn’t matter. Liberals can’t get enough of it. All the drivel…all the sappy sentiment they suffered projectile vomiting over with Bush…they can’t get enough of with Obama. It’s some powerful powerful stuff this kool aid the liberals are addicted to now. Hate to think what they will do when the day comes that Obama HAS to leave the White House…unless he gets the changes installed he’s working on the over ride elections altogether…’for the good of the country’, dontchaknow.

  • Marlene

    Both father and son Bush showed the utmost respect for their Secret Service detail by being sure the guys were able to spend Christmas with their families. Neither this half-breed buck, his apish wife nor either of the Clinton’s, the Carters or LBJ showed as much consideration to them – ever. He and Mocces only concern is going on vacations whn he knows the country is in dire financial straits. There IS one glaring political problem on his mind right now and, no, it’s not creating a budget (it hasn’t been important for 3 years so why give it priority now?) but rather depleting the Social Security Fund faster by extending the cut in payroll (Social Security) taxes. He wants to end that program and the best way is to eliminate any further payments into it. How can he continue to tell his followers that the Republicans are Grinches because they won’t continue the cuts in payroll taxes if he’s in the Asian Territory of Hawaii?
    Since he believes Hawaii is an Asian country, it makes me wonder what he was taught at the School of Marxism? He wants to claim American citinzenship but knows nothing about the history of this country nor even how many states are a part of it. Perhaps if he leaves to join the ape-woman and the rest of the clan, he’ll give the blame game a rest for 17 days. It’s really gotten old, tiresome and so very transparent. While in Hawaii, one can hope while he’s enjoying the ocean a shark will dismember him or otherwise put him completely out of commission. While campaigning for Prez, Joe Bioden showed his disapproval of Obama and all he stood for so maybe he’ll revert to that mindset and do less damage to the country. That’s the big problem for Americans and it’s bigger than Obama’s hand-wringing over whether he should go on vacation or stay stateside playing the blame game.

  • Larrya PA.

    Obama please go on vacation and never come back ,maybe we can get the country back in shape while you are away.

  • Buck

    I have no problem with Obamass going to Hawaii at taxpayer expense , my only conern is his return from Hawaii back to Washington at anyones expense .

    • OldNYFirefighter

      Hey Buck, how many prayers does it take to guarantee a Tsunami in Hawaii? I guess that wouldn’t be a good idea, as it would be harmful to innocent people, even though Obama would call it collateral damage & justifiable. It isn’t the Christian thing to do, so scratch that thought. I’m old & getting tired of this crap, so somebody else will have to come up with a better idea.

  • az native

    It is past time to tally up what the O’Bama’s have spent of our national treasury and hand them one big fat bill….to be reimbursed immediately or face criminal embezzlement charges for conspiracy to defraud our national treasury, malfeasance, coercion, racketeering, bribery and that is just for starters….we did not elect him a dictator and our national treasury is not his personal piggy bank, we want all the money back now or criminal charges started…we want all the bribery monies, bailouts, stimulus monies returned or all heads involved should roll…we have plenty of room in Gitmo for these career criminals…our country and our White House is not for freaking sale…..it is time for us to put congress and this current regime on a budget….and cut all un-necessary spending and agencies…this has gone on long enough……where are all the business leaders who have worked their butts off building this country, who are helping to foot the bill for this criminal activity…it is time to fire them all, close it down and start over and WE THE PEOPLE will control the budget from now on….5% to feds for military protection of our borders and 5% to our states and no more…..this fraudulent activity is over. Every man and woman who is working in America and every small businessman and woman should be demanding change alright……return the monies or go to prison, do not pass go, do not collect anything. And it is time to close the White House and turn it into a museum and put the president in a modest middle class home, minus all the secret service….if you don’t do anything to piss off people you wouldn’t need all this protection.

  • az native

    When did any American think spending money like this – especially money that does not belong to you is ok!!!!! It never was ok and it is not his money or Congress…..this corruption has gone on for over 30 years and if we had real Americans in Washington this would have never started….it is time to end this farce and close the doors of the federal government. Per our constitution, we have the right to abolish the government if they fail to obey the people….it is past the time….enough is enough…it is never going to change in Washington DC – EVER!!!!….the writing has been on the wall for way too long…

  • az native

    Boehmer can cry all he wants but his tears so far have been nothing but a big fraud…….any real American who took an oath to uphold our constitution wouldn’t be wasting his time following the status quo, he would demand real change…..and the rest of us would weep for joy!

    thats because the kid in the candy store does not care one damn bit about how much in taxpayers dollars he spends,that has been frightfully apparent since this clown was elected,does he care about all this spending……NO!I have seen a bunch of presidents in office in my time but never one that cared nothing about spending taxpayer money like this obama monster does,you might as well dig a giant hole in the ground start a fire in it and use a D-9 cat dozer to push giant piles of money into it for what good he is doing with it

  • Julian

    Even for a King this behavior is strange, they would demand their wife and kids stay with them. But I guess when money is no object and when you care about no one but yourself and if you are narcisitic enough you could justify this. If the media were ligit this and Spain and all the others would have been front page all year.

  • Mad Mike

    Obama is the most outrageous, arrogant, in-your-face ingrate, to ever occupy the white house. He is an ego-maniac, a narcistic, spoiled little six year old! He is Mr. entitlement! How many millions of tax payer dollars has this arrogant jerk spent on his personal and extravant vacations? Knowing the millions more he is costing our country with the use of Air Force One, dozens of hired passenger airlines to fly his “peanut gallery” of his and Michelle’s friends on our dime! If any other federal employee abscounded with this amount of money, or abused their government credit cards into the millions of dollars for personal expenses like Obama does everyday, they would be arrested and charged with embezzlement of government money! Not this clown! He is “above the law”, a living Washington “god”. King Obama has no limits! What has happended to our country in less than one term of this serial abuse of power? Why do we “put up with it”? We are to blame for allowing this reversal of who works for whom? To continue unhampered. He is an “outrage” and a disgrace to the office of President!
