Obama: Sequestration for thee, vacation for me

Mar. 7, 2013 4:19pm Meredith Jessup

Public tours of the White House may be shut down, but no mere budgetary issue could keep President Obama away from… Martha’s Vineyard:

President Obama and his family are likely headed to Martha’s Vineyard for a summer sojourn again this year.

A source tells POLITICO that the Secret Service has started booking accommodations on the toney island off the Massachusetts coast.

So far, the White House isn’t saying anything, but the Vineyard is abuzz with the news. The first family is expected toward the end of August, said the source, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Obama had to skip his traditional Vineyard vacation last year as he campaigned for reelection. But he and his family went there for three summers before that.

they let out illegals but my Veteran son sits in Prison when he should be getting treatment for his PTSD and I have been told that most other states would have gotten him treatment in stead of Jailing him. He had never been in trouble before his PTSD and now I have a son who is in Afghanistan who is the Marine of the year and he wants his brother to be given the help he needs. He stated to me his mother No Man left behind MOM. Nickolas Wayne sits in Prison in the state of Missouri, because the County of Davies County Missouri does not believe in any treatment or treatment Court. Even though there is treatment court for our Veterans and it has been proven to work well.

How symbolic this whole thing is.

King Obama closes public white house tours.
Sells access to donors for 500K

Golfs non stop while country suffers.

What a sad excuse for a President. Hopefully he will take his proper place in history with the traitors and fools.

Good. He needs some quality time. Unlike the Right Wing Aliens that seem to be in our congress and senate.

  If he gets any more “quality” time on the golf course — he’ll get his PGA card.
  
  Are you freaking insane?
