The Obama’s are off to the Vineyard! Barack Obama and his family are spending their summer vacation in exclusive Martha’s Vineyard on Cape Cod in Massachusetts. Read more below, see photos and a video.
The Obamas Martha’s Vineyard Vacation
If you are cursed ‘lucky’ enough to be at Martha’s Vineyard, you can chill out with a frosty “Obamarita” at Sharkey’s Cantina in your T-shirt that says: “Barackin’ the Vineyard.” Why you beg? Because apparently, that trip to London and Paris, the Grand Canyon, and Montana just wasn’t enough summer vacation for the First Family. Forget the economic meltdown and the government-run healthcare plan being crammed down your throat. Obama’s vacation at Blue Heron Farms, Martha’s Vineyard, promises to be the highlight of your summer!
The Obamas Martha’s Vineyard vacation includes a stay at Blue Heron Farm, a lavish $20 million, 28.5 acre compound in the town of Chilmark that rents for $50,000 a week. Chilmark, by the way, was named the most expensive small town in all America by Business Week back in 2007.
The Blue Heron Farm sounds really lovely - of course it should be for $50,000 a week! It has a swimming pool, a small basketball court, horse paddocks, an apple orchard, and even a golf tee for The One to practice that sketchy swing of his. There are four houses to choose from which considering the secret service, aides, and guests sure to be invited, seems about perfect for the extravagant needs of the Obamas.
Blue Heron Farm also has private access to a stretch of Squibnocket Beach — which may keep those ‘Obama topless’, ‘Obama bodysurfing’, and ‘Michelle Obama shorts’ photos to a minimum. Keep your fingers crossed on that one! Oh and a fun fact about Blue Heron Farm? This is strictly business. The owners, registered Republicans, contributed money to Fred Thompson’s and John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaigns.
Frankly, there are no shortage of people who would love a vacation like the Obama’s are preparing to have — rubbing shoulders with the very rich and famous in our country. But going to stable, prosperous, exclusive Martha’s Vineyard in Cape Cod when so much of the country is suffering high unemployment and financial stress, only serves to emphasize a tone deaf, excessive, and unsympathetic life-style by the Obama Administration. Can you imagine what the benefit of spending brought by the presidential entourage would have on, say, an economically hurting city in Michigan? They have golf courses there too.
But the reality is that the Obamas like a good time… on our dime. They have no plans to go slumming. The Obama’s Vacation at Blue Heron Farm, Martha’s Vineyard, promises to be very lovely and very, very expensive.

Isn’t that where Ted Kennedy killed Mary Jo Kopechne? Anyone think that Obama would save Michelle or would he throw her under the bus?

Red Rover, Red Rover, send Hillary on over!

Well, he’s got a ways until he catches up to W.
Bush by the numbers:
487 days at Camp David
490 days at his Texas Ranch
43 days at he’s parent’s home in Maine
Granted, some of these are partial days and some at Camp David, I’m sure were in response to the terror alerts….which Tom Ridge can tell you about.

does anyone remember that staged photo of bill and hill in their swimsuits on the beach dancing or whatever? the photog might as well have put a big bullseye on hill’s ample arse.

You know is it just me or is obama’s oldest daughter the ugliest thing you have ever seen.
August 20th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
Charles, beauty is only skin deep. She is being raised by parents who loathe their country so she will end up being just as bitter as mommy. Did you see that hippy peacenik shirt she was sporting in Europe?

charles
some would say the apple doesn’t fall far from the mama tree. i prefer to say she is going through her awkward phase.
August 20th, 2009 at 5:30 pm
It’s tough when you are part wookie part Klingon.
August 20th, 2009 at 5:48 pm
I don’t think so Charles. I think she a very pretty little girl. Even if she did inherit mommy’s jaw.

The left complained about all the days Bush took, even if they were working vacations. I’ll bet obama beats Bush when comparing their first four years in office, and if he doesn’t beat him in time off, obama will beat him in spending taxpayer money for his vacations, dinners, NYC fly-bys, etc.
All that aside, Cathryn Friar makes an excellent point that he is insensitive(putting it lightly) to what the common American is going through. I’m sure he is aware, it’s just that he probably doesn’t care…

“if he doesn’t beat him in time off, obama will beat him in spending taxpayer money for his vacations, dinners, NYC fly-bys, etc.”
right ron. we heard a lot from the left when Bush went back to his ranch — that he was taking too much vacation time. but we never heard anything about any excess or gluttoness spending about the Bush’s like we are hearing from this group of clowns.

Isn’t the country far better off when Obama takes a vacation? It’s our patriotic duty to encourage him to leave the country for far off exotic lands.
August 20th, 2009 at 10:17 pm
I’m guessing Obama’s poll numbers go up when he’s on vacation. I don’t know what is worse, having him around or having him leave and having voters wish he was around.
August 20th, 2009 at 10:42 pm
Far better to have him leave where he can do no damage other than to tarnish our name. Maybe someday Barack Obama will make a great president of Kenya.

Seems everyone forgets The Bush family own and entire compound in Kennebunkport Maine, Kennedy style, ya know.
The President renting a great estate for a week on his own dime hardly seems to compare in the over the top I’m freakin’ rich category.

The president is only picking up 1/3 of the tab. The Secret Service (Taxpayers)will pay for another third and the White House entourage (Taxpayers) will pick up the final third.
August 21st, 2009 at 7:54 am
Oh! come on her lip looks like you put one of those things that you use to fill your tires with air. Now to be fair obama has those giant ears and to be just look at Michael my God. And is it just me or has it looked like obama has put on a few pounds since he took office.

Your a hundred percent correct she’s ugly on the outside and even uglier on the inside.
August 21st, 2009 at 8:17 am
Charles, I was talking about the older one also.
August 21st, 2009 at 10:41 am
flyingmonkey:
No you must be mistaking yourself the older one is right next to the elephant women I mean Michael, because the younger one seems OK yet the older is as ugly as sin.
