NEW YORK (CBS/AP) — A storm that curtailed outdoor activities for much of President Barack Obama’s vacation was forecast to end Wednesday, but he said he’s been able to fight off cabin fever.
Not only has he been able to sneak in two rounds of golf, but he told reporters Tuesday he’s “doing a lot of reading” at the farm compound he’s rented for the first family. “I’m having a great time,” he said.
The president made the remarks, his first in public since heading out on vacation last week, as he escorted first lady Michelle Obama from the State Road restaurant.
Obama has faced some criticism for his latest vacation, his sixth since taking office. At a time when painful unemployment numbers continue to bear down on the tattered economy, many are frustrated that the nation’s leader is enjoying another luxurious trip. On CBS’ “The Late Show” Tuesday night, David Letterman took a jab at the president, saying: “He’ll have plenty of time for vacations after his one term is up.”
It's not easy eating lobster three times a day and sucking down a couple of bottles of wine then going out and being president.
ReplyDeleteBaby need baba.
w bush had the most vacation days of any president in us history, he was having fun as people starved to death in New Orleans and was having a nice day when thousands died on 911, little baby loser needed his baba really bad, thanks daddy for helping me to ruin this country.
ReplyDeleteIt was Ray Nagin and Kathleen Blanco who were responsible for the care of the people in New Orleans not the president. The law did not allow the federal government to interfere in Lousiana until invited by the governor. The governor refused to act and exacerbated the problem. The MSM didn't dwell too much on this fact because it didn't fit their agenda but it is the cause of the delay pure and simple.
ReplyDelete“I’m having a great time,” he said.
ReplyDeleteWell there are a lot of Americans not having such a great time while he goes on how many vacations.
Letterman is right “He’ll have plenty of time for vacations after his one term is up.”
Americans better get smarter real quick and do something if there is any time left. If you think democrat versus republican ... you are wrong ... both are likely bad.
How much money does a Congressman or President make by their salary and they spend millions on their campaign which is more money then they will make (legally). So why are they doing it?
Blacks voted for Obama cause he is black. (I wonder how many Blacks voted for McCain.)
ReplyDeleteWhites voted for Obama cause they believed his jive talk about not being responsible for their financial choices in life, housing, wall street casino.
Obama just wanted to be the man. The theme song from the Jefferson's "Well, we're movin on up...movin on up..." should replace Hail to the Chief.
Obama is livin large. How about you?
This friggin' jackass jiust gets better and better.
ReplyDeleteLet me ask you one simple question.
When you and your family fall on hard economic times you:
A) Take a nice week long vacation that's costs you thousands.
B) You have a little family meeting, discuss where you can cut back, who can work more hours
etc.
This stupid community organizer prick never worked a fucking day in his life - how the hell would he know what to do?
He doesn't & give him another year - I'll prove it - over and over and over again.
What a costly mistake.
obozo is just doing what he has always done, scamming the white man.
ReplyDeleteSock puppets have nothing to do.
ReplyDeleteThe semi-monarchial role is mainly ceremonial.
Why, they do not have to even produce a full birth cerificate to qualify for the Messiah job.
He does however have a Noble Peace prize for doing his "yes we can" acting role.
"Ex" CIA Obama has the same GS advisors as Bush in treasury , the Fed, and 'ex" CIA
Gates to hold his hand.And the same bailout corporate state program to manage .
Bernanke is looking for another different way out to stimulate the economy , as the last stimulus runs out of puff leaving only a bad stink odor.
If you are lucky the manager /front man may even post you a check a 'tax refund" like Bush did ?
Before He, McCain and obama all supported the Paulson bazooka financial coup to socialise the losses of the financial elite.
Thats their job.
Obama will come back from vacation to do as he is told to "save america" for the rich.
7:19 is the biggest f'wad to ever post here his diatribe and useless drooling, now go back to bed little jonny and let the grown ups finish here-yes, your pacifier is upstairs by your blanky
