Special Notice: Obama To Vacation On Martha's Vineyard Following A Job Well Done
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. From Bloomberg: "President Barack Obama will vacation with his family in Martha's Vineyard at the end of this month as he's done in years past, the White House said Wednesday, despite the weak economy and negotiations on the nation's debt problem. Press secretary Jay Carney defended Obama's plans to take a break even as he's pledged urgent action on those issues. "I don't think Americans out there would begrudge that notion that the president would spend some time with his family," Carney said." Spot on, Jay, spot on.
"Carney added that there's really no such thing as a presidential vacation since Obama will travel with his aides, receive regular briefings on national security and the economy and be able to return to Washington if necessary. "The presidency travels with you. He will be in constant communication," Carney said at the White House briefing. Last August, the president, Michelle Obama and their two daughters spent 10 days at a rented farm on the wealthy island retreat in Massachusetts.
Our advice: buy ELY stock: with the market about to implode, the president is sure to make at least one company's year.

Martha's Vineyard is a small island, I'm worried when Michelle's fat-ass sets foot on it... will it flip over?

He's been on a hip hop vacation since election night. Pheef
Poor Obama, he needs vacation, golf is very exhausting.
The real masters are still hard at work devaluing our currency. You would need lots of vacation too, if you were a FED puppet with the financial industrys hand up your ass 24-7.
Anything that keeps the great pretender out of town and out of the country's business is a good thing.
At least he realises he is powerless and inept
What president doesn't need to get away from it all, play golf, smoke a little crack and have sex with his male personal trainer every now and then?
Ah Larry Sinclair. I hear that he is holed up on a yacht in Nantucket waiting for the call.
That's what I've been saying for years. Let the Congress do 1 thing and only 1 thing every year when they convene...... and that's vote to adjourn. Period.
Think about it. Had they done absolutely nothing for the past 20 years except to ratify the budget of the previous year (that means no changes to anything at all since 1991, no new taxes, no new regulations, no war, no nothing) how much better off would we be?
This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer.
Will Rogers
You can lead a man to Congress, but you can't make him think.
Milton Berle
Being elected to Congress is regarded as being sent on a looting raid for one's friends.
George Will
There is more selfishness and less principle among members of Congress than I had any conception of, before I became President of the U.S.
James K. Polk
yes. I was saddened to hear that the Obummer will be in constant contact. There could be nothing better than if he went radio silence... well, forever.
James K. Polk was the one that made war on a nearly defenseless Mexico so he could take half of it away from the Mexicans. When Saddam tried to do that in Kuwait, he got squashed.
So, Mexico didn't like losing to the Texans.
Texans were illegal immigrants into Mexico. Slavery was illegal in Mexico. Texas wasn't the reason (or even a valid reason) why Polk went to war against Mexico. It was Manifest Destiny. Whatever the fuck that means. Polk wanted more territory. Like the Germans' "lebensraum", more empire, more money, even if it's necessary to get it by armed robbery.
they're taking it back, anyway. By 2050 this place will just be another Latin American state.
That's fine and all, but I haven't seen latin types as very entrepreneurial, have you?
Maybe we'll just be the house maids for China and the rest of Asia... or we can become the drug running superpower of the world. We'll just modify the statue of libterty so that she's lifting a joint up to that torch
"Texans were illegal immigrants into Mexico. Slavery was illegal in Mexico."
And the Mexicans inherited all of it from the kings of Spain. Who, in turn, conquered/pacified all of it from native Indians. And Spain was heavilly involved in slave trading before declining as an empire and ceding their slave trade to Britain.
Do you have an actual point of empire power vacuums being filled?...or just on a general Polk bashing rant?...human history is not a static thing, its fluid.
And, don't mess with Texas...my wife is from there...you'll have to trust me on this ;-)
I think you are wasting your time. If the theory doesn't end with "America sucks." they don't care.
Part of the destruction of a nation is to cut it off from its foundations.
Explains a lot about modern "education."
Go point both Gentlemen! When entitlements, supersede innovation. It's generally a indicator of " Decline"! No matter what the Race, or demographics... Good trading!
Correct on all points.
Pointing out the euro power/guilt trip always seems to dampen the jovial "American people suck" vibe around here...I can be such a party pooper sometimes...lol.
Texas gave up the right to say "Don't mess with Texas" when your state capitulated to TSA.
Texas, as a major hub of air traffic, was handed the torch to shut that tyranny down and Texas folded like a cheap lawnchair.
Yup, sure scared of Texans.
"Texas, as a major hub of air traffic, was handed the torch to shut that tyranny down and Texas folded like a cheap lawnchair.
Yup, sure scared of Texans."
The thing for you to do is to stride into any public place in Texas and yell this at the top of your lungs...just be close to Paris when you do ;-)
Not entirely true. You drink too much Kool-Aid. How about some Wiki-Aid
Texas Revolution 1835-1836
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_Revolution
Bullshit. Early Texans were not illegal immigrants. Some were horse thieves & wanted men, no doubt, but not illegal immigrants.
Mexico had an open-door immigration policy for many years in an attempt to settle its northern frontier in competition with the USA's westward expansion. You could call it Free Land. "If you can tame it, it's yours," is the Anglo expression of Mexico's land & immigration policy. The doors were open. Whole German & Polish towns left germany's warring principalities and decamped along Texas rivers. They brought their way of life & also gave us Texas BBq. Many Scots-Irish farmers & their families also decamped & settled into life in Texas. They grew food & made the Land productive. All of these activites were sanctioned & approved by the Mexican government.
The Revolution is Another Story Entirely, but Early Texans were not illegals. I can tell you like history & my grandmother was a Daughter of the Republic, so I'm just setting you straight on her behalf. No offense. Now, I dont know nuthin bout no James k polk.
Cheers,
Beef
It wasn't an open-door immigration policy for slave-owners or non-Catholics. Catholic Poles and Irish yes.
Well, that's a good point. Mexico didn't specificly proscribe Protestants from entering & settling Texas, so lots of 'em came in, mostly from the USA. My Great-grandafther was Protestant & a horse thief. He still immigrated somehow & became a farmer in Nacodoches County.
So the Protestants' entering & settling in Texas was not prohibited under Mexican Law.. They entered, having significantly different religious & political ideas than Mexico City.
Then, possibly before or after assuming dictatorial powers, Santa Anna decreed that all Texas marriages take place in a Catholic church. Predictably, a large segment of the population had a disagreement with that.
Here's to history!
Cheers,
Beef
This is GENIUS! An amendment to the Constitution that states, "The Congress of the United States of America shall DO NOTHING! Period!!!"
I like your thinking!
this is bullish for the end of the month.
what dates will he STFU on?
I'll BUY BUY BUY on those days.
"This is bullshit, right" There, fixed it. Yes, yes it is.
President Obama is trying his best - it's a hard job being president of the world's greatest super-power. These un-greatful comments are very saddening, and are indicative of our country's loss of values. There was a time when hard-working politicians would receive thanks for their courage and sacrifice, but those days appear to be over.
Dude, you have a *great* sense of humor, I LOL'ed.
Executive and Congressional 'Fluffer' position has been filled. You can stop now.
I'm pretty sure it was sarcasm
It's almost impossible to tell the difference between a True Believer and Sarcasm -- the key is to NOT wear a chain that someone can jerk on...
Damn it!! :)
Fluffer czarina. Equal opportunity for czars
I, for one, wish all of our elected officials the vacation they've so richly earned.
Pretty sure GITMO doesn't need reservations! :>D
Furthermore, since most of the posters here are either short the indexes and/or long PMs Obama's policies have been richly rewarding. I couldn't have asked for a more profitable bunch than this gang of idiot-thieves. This was my best day ever.
Are you his "personal trainer"?
You forgot the /sarc!
Look around you, either you are a bad comedian, a Media Matters flying monkey or too clueless to survive
As long as he isn't on TV giving a speech, that's good for the market. Whenever he or Geithner or the Bernank give a speech, the market tanks.
Where did that "Mission Accomplished" banner go again?
Someone should use it to wrap up the Statue of Liberty a al Christo.
nice one!
more like use as a noose to hang her with
The banner ? Williambanzai7 has it.
He fits in with the Cape crowd so very well.
The Cape of Good Hope?

Cape Fear?
Hope the golf's good. He sure does deserve a break! Worthless...
I guess he is going up there, hide his head in the sand and hope that all this crap works out somehow. At what point do we get to petition the government to make a vote of no confidence in this asshole and kick him out of office. At this point I am ready to put mickey mouse in the white house, anyone would be better then this idiot.
"anyone would be better then this idiot."
So, you're basically telling me you've never met Bawney Fwank or Joe Biden.
I vote for leaving Barry's pet dog in charge.
as if the clown really has any responsibility anyway. by now it should be perfectly clear to all, the U.S. government is a farce.
Apparently Obama has 1 responsibility to his commie supporters--veto any actual spending cuts.
How about destroying the US economy, and the 08 Democratic House and Senate sure helped him.
yep, it was all uphill until the "dems" arrived.
Is sweating blood a normal reaction?
Is he taking Air Force 1 there as well?
you mean air farce 1 ?
Surely they'll take the helicopter. Kids love helicopter rides.
LOL! Maybe he could carried in one of those chairs roman emperor's used to get carried around on. That would employ a few people at minimum wage.
But it wouldn't be as funny as this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1csMoLgTMk0
Nah, he's no emperor. He's an actor. An actor who spends our money.
Yes, of course, no need to worry about the affairs of the country Mr. President, especially since all of your fund raisers are completed for the month. I voted for Obama, but he has failed every test. Guatanamo, still there, Iraq, Afganistan, still there, the list of lies and outrages go on and on. I would vote to defeat him, unless Palin is running against him, in which case, we have an intellectual fraud and a moron, hard to choose. I will stay home and drink.
Better yet, stay home, put on the pot of coffee and plan for the future.
pods
I suspect the prez may become bored with that future position they are holding for him, you know, the partnership at Goldman Sachs International once he's finished at the Oval Office.
In the spirit of the recently deceased Mulla Hulla Bulla (supposed to be in charge of that team that destroyed the Chinook heli recently w/30 KIAs), I believe, just in case he becomes bored at GS Int'l, he might change his name to Rama Llama Obama, the perfect name for an entertainment career.
On a more serious note, this Budget Control Act of 2011 with its Super Committee of 12, is truly the final "Game Over" -- w/Baucus ("I'm proud to have voted for the tax cuts for the super-rich"), and Patty "ultimate airehead" Murray (voted down public option, voted for every war financing bill) and John "multi-billionaire" Forbes Kerry, the American worker is truly screwed for the foreseeable future.
Obama of Wall Street has truly trashed the nation's workers --- while in Europe -- from various interviews I hear on the international news -- they citizenry truly appears to understand what is taking place, while in America the typical Ameritard is clueless that the banksters have peddled over $900 trillion in credit derivatives which they claimed had value on Monday, but became worthless by Friday, and they want to stick the lower income, working poor and poor with their bill (austerity programs, etc.).
a statesman is an easy man, he tells his lies by rote
a journalist invents his lies, and rams them down your throat
so stay at home and drink your beer and let the neighbors vote
- W.B. Yeats
cheers!
Hell I vote for a dam pig right now. At least you can eat it after they fed on the bullshit. I will just about vote for any opponent right now. Enough is enough already. Hell we canniot do any worse then we already are can we?
almost forgot... merle haggard - just stay here and drink

Why are you so against Palin. She's had more executive experience than BHO, even today. What has he led on. Sarah Palin took on corrupt Alaska politicians and several weeks ago, Alaska got a AAA rating mainly based on her work. She has balanced spending, and made hard decisions. I know, BHO has to decide which golf couse to play and that is his decision for the week.
People bitch about the lying MSM, but ain't it strange how many still parrot back their talking points?
Sarah had to be destroyed because she is an outsider. Both Dems and Rinos fear her.
She destroyed herself by talking.
come clean, you're votin' for her puppies, amirite?

So now we're criticizing Obama for taking working vacations and using Air Force 1. How dare the President use Air Force 1?! Just who does he think he is? Every other President?
These posts are the bottom of the barrel, Tyler.
Fuck off troll...HuffPo is missing their idiot...
Perhaps you will explain to the rest of us what Obama has done, other than:
Preemptive arrests of activists (just like Bushie),
going after more whistleblowers than all previous US presidents combined, (including using the Espionage Act against them more than anyone else, etc.),
Pursuing a bunch of "free trade" agreements, just like those neocons before him, to further expand unemployment in America,
Expanding the "war" in Afghanistan, ensuring protection for Chinese copper mining companies there, as well as those gas and oil pipelines feeding resources into India on behalf of American multinationals there,
Instead of concentrating on jobs for American workers, upon entering the presidency, he instead does that backdoor bailout for health insurance industry to the tune of an estimated $400 billion in guaranteed revenue streams (second-tier bank bailout, as the banksters own those insurance corps.),
appointed the most neocon administration conceivable -- only neocon he has yet to appoint was Dick Cheney,
etc., etc., etc.
I don't think that he's accomplished much. I think he's a middling President.
But the fact that he's taking a vacation, or uses the presidential airplane, aren't substantive criticisms. It's partisan fluff. The list of criticisms you just came up with off the top of your head are all more substantive than this post.
Let's talk about real things here instead of a bunch of lowbrow "Obama is a Kenyan" bullcrap that appeals to wingnuts with a room-temperature IQ.
Obama leads the league in using the EPA and other regulators and his own illegal executive orders to destroy any actually productive American industries. Next up, coal and electric power.
Other than that, he is patheticly awful.
That's another substantive criticism. Good job. You're getting it.
Partisan my ass!
I couldn't wait to see the back of Bush. This idiot has made me miss that chimp! Yeah, that bad. This jackass is like the worst of Bush on crack.
The problem isn't that hes' taking a vacation. The problem is that he decides to fuck off to Martha's Vineyard while the country is burning. Hell, he could barely be dragged from the campaign trail (the only thing hes' good at) to comment on a historical downgrade of the nation's crediworthiness! And then we got his Marxist "from each according to his ability to each according to his need to each according to his need" crap. The only time he hangs around is to threaten every cowering member in his party to pass a health care destruction act.
He's not a president and has never been. He's a candidate. A useless POS.
And while every president uses taxpayer funded Air Force One, it seems the country expects him to be more judicious in his use at a time when the taxpayers are being bankrupted by their own elected officials.
Why do you find this so difficult to understand?
btw, that Marxist 'shtick' is just that....a perpetual carrot to dangle to the Left.
This is way beyond partisan, this is abject hatred for the ruling class and the Empire.
Suck on these nutz.
London calling ................you will pick up soon.
You are correct, the bottom 80% would lynch the rest if they could get off the couch.
Maybe a diet will help.
No problems with vacations but debt ceiling was a disaster. Downgrade embarrassig. Stock market abysmal. Talk of eating your peas, rolling up sleeves, and being there til job done just doesn't match with taking vacation. Period. Simple. End of story. Vacations for professionals are cancelled at times of need. In 18 months he can vacation forever in his presidential library. And he does seem to use air force 1 and other presidential benefits as free campaign money.
'...working vacation..' HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Hey Chet, FUCK YOU!!!! And the fucking moron in office. If these post are the bottom of the barrel go to another site. FYI, Every other president has never led the country this far into the hole. So yeah maybe we expect him to at least act like he cares.
dunno, there are a lot of presidents vying for that position, I mean, where do you want to begin in the historical downward graph?
continuity of governance.
God, you're an idiot. The fact that you're still talking about presidents as persons capable of leading... well..it's disappointing.
I hope you get better, numbnuts. I really hope you do, for your own sake.
I always think interesting when crowd come out who talk against voting and leaders. You think smart choice is throw fire in London street. That helpful for status quo, rioters in jail, LOL. Wonder how many here who talk against voting are status quo. I know there are lazy ass here too, who justify lazy not vote ass, but there are also status quo who want lazy ass not vote.
What no historical judgement?
I thought we had to wait for 50 years to pass before we judge our prez actions.
Has clock stopped now.
Perhaps the problems you see are just the tree being refreshed?
Would that not be ok , looking out 50 years ?
I agree that there is no need to criticize him for a vacation, his mind boggling incompetence is certainly sufficient.
Indeed, I would heap praise on him for a permanent vacation.
He does nothing useful at the White House, so he might as well do it someplace beautiful.
I'd like to vacation with my family too. To bad I'm slaving away trying to make a living earning an income to support all the welfare queens. But you go Pres Obummer, I realize this is your 8th or 9th vacation, but you need it. You hard working son of a bitch.
Actually you are slaving away for the bankers and wall street criminals who made shitty trades and want you to pay for it.
Oh ya don't forget the war chest too.
Things are getting better, getting better all the time
To me anybody who sucks off the government tit is a welfare queen. Corporations, bankers , or people.
indeed - however, you've chosen a specific meme that points at a small group as a distraction from the overall BIG picture - hopefully you'll reconsider?
the more people who use specifics at a time when truth matters, the better.
OT Reply (going back to a previous exchange): I thought of you this morning as I was driving into work and heard on the radio they're remaking Dirty Dancing...I'm considering getting a divorce, just so I don't have to watch it.
Damn I hope you are kidding. I just got a divorce. Kinda sucks. It wasn't my choice though.
Sorry to hear that my friend. Equally sorry to say I'm not kidding about the movie http://www.cnn.com/2011/SHOWBIZ/Movies/08/09/dirty.dancing.remake/index.html?iref=allsearch ...at least you won't have to watch it.
Hope you and your kid(s) are doing okay.
nobody puts obama in a corner!
Welfare Queens? Now is that any way to talk about your congressman?
Funny thing is there is an Obama 2012 ad at the top of the page. Hilarious.

Transitory abdication, bitchez.
needs a break so he can come back ready to work on what's most important - his reelection campaign
+1
His #1 priority is jobs...his own.
It's really the only thing this grifter has ever cared about, really. But good to know I'll be avoiding the Cape like a plague next week (when I also happen to be on vacation - only I'll really be "stay"cationing becuase, well, I'm broke - thanks Barry).
goddammit I'm so sick of this shit!..... corruption everywhere. If I don't find someplace to live with a group of honest people, well, I'm getting closer and closer to the motto of that sibling gang..... "this is a good time to die". I am sick to death of corrupt businesses , especially insurance companies, utilities, This is definitely not a problem of obama vs. bush
To make things worse WHY IS IT SO FUCKING HOT?

YES, wholeheartedly qgree......................while he's on these trips he continues to sharpen the stake, the one he will drive thru the HEART of whats left of what was the USA, if he makes it back in '12.
(IF he's re-elected), I will bid a sad farewell to my home, almost anywhere will be better than what he's bringing down on the country, with a second wind.
I begrudge every breath he takes as president.
Why? Can you imagine the job? I feel sorry. He academic, not business. He snookered by Wall Street and when he realize, too late. Now he don't know what to do, it's obvious, bet he on massive anti-depressants and cry at night. I wish he resign and we get strong President. It will happen next election anyway. I think Ron Paul elected (no matter what the stock market do).
He is not an academic for christ sake. There are thousands of undergrad TA's who are more academic.
if by snooker you mean VETTED then you are getting warm.
The only snookin going on is YOU.
Owebama was always a banker stooge , he was raised by them and bought by them.
case closed.
p.s. we don't need or want a STRONG prez just a competent one.
We don't go in for your strong man dictator types dirtbag.
He'll be out soon enough, unless for some reason elections are suspended. But that could never happen right ?
America, with the largest army the world has ever seen, brought down from the inside by a Jew puppet and a fella from Kenya...
... who would have thunk it?
Too bad for you America not brought down when have bad President. It's why great country. Where you from stinky boy.
The land of stinky funky monkies.
You from your computer in nasty shithole somewhere, you hope the US fail. Well keep watching, you find it get stronger from this.
Why Pope wear monkey hate?

Why can't the Great American Armed Forces beat a ragtag bunch of untrained, unpaid, poorly equipped, unwashed, illiterate ragheads in Afghanistan? They've been at it for almost 10 years so far and spent much more than Afghanistan is worth so far.
Rhetorical question, I'm sure. But your answer is that the MIC is profit driven.
Throw yourself on the ground and feign a difficult challenge for even the smallest enemies--because as long as you are pretending to fight, you can keep at your business.
And I mean this part, I really do: I don't care about some welfare soldiers who signed up to fight ragheads or anyone else: if they get killed furthering the MIC's agenda, I will not shed a tear.
Check history.
Nobody has beat afghans 'cept for 90 days once where Afghans lost control but got it back.
Not even the peak of the British Empire? Nor the mighty superpower of the USSR?
Shit, don't they teach at Westpoint to Never Get Involved in a Land War in Asia?
That's funny. John Pierpont Morgan was definately not Jewish, and John D. Rockefeller wasn't from Kenya.
Yeah, but they were both bankrolled by the Rothschilds.
pods
+100
Who else bankrolled by Rothschilds? They had largest fortune in world history. It always about the Jewish jealousy. You not smart enough to make money, blame the Jew. They sound very evil. Here from Wikipedia.
Since the end of the 19th century, the family has taken a low-key public profile, donating many of their most famous estates, as well as vast quantities of art, to charity, keeping full anonymity about the size of their fortunes, and generally eschewing conspicuous displays of wealth.[31][32] The family once had one of the largest private art collections in the world, and a significant proportion of the art in the world's public museums are Rothschild donations which were sometimes, in the family tradition of discretion, donated anonymously.[33]
