Vacationing President to Press: “We’re Buying Shrimp, Guys. Come On.”

What a lowlife piece of garbage…while people go hungry, homeless, jobless…Obama the clown lives it up, laughing at America.
OBAMA VS AMERICA

What a joke he has become, how pathetic.

Did they eat shrimp when they were down in the gulf?

…maybe have a ‘Double Dip’ of rocky road ice cream for dessert..

Business Class, Thanks for the information. People do not reralize that there are still just under 500, troops still there, most probably for the duration. Do you think this bozo would take 5 minutes from his vacation to visit with the troops. Of course not, unless it was a prime photo op. JERK!!!!

17.5% unemployment including those who quit looking for work. Record home mortgage failures, record deficits of 1.6 trillion this year, record national debt of 14 trillion, was 9 trillion when he was elected, record home equity losses, record losses in the markets, record bank failures, gov’t owns 2 car companies, nationalized student loans, banks, AIG, Freddie and Fannie still failures, Iran bomb, Israel and the UK no longer great allies, lets Iranians die on the streets, wrong side of Venezuelan free elections, statist ideals fail again and again.
Why not stay on vacation for another 2 years, dufus.

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING WHEN YOU VOTED FOR HIM???

It will be a new reality show… “Corexit shrimp… Is it REALLY good for you???” Come on Barky, have a bite… on camera!

These people are a criminal enterprise dedicated to sinking our nation.

Interesting how you can never catch him talking without a teleprompter. If we are going to be required to deal with a government this bad now and in the future, we at least need to make sure we keep electing stupid presidents, so they at least trip themselves up in those oh-so-rare non-controlled public moments.

On the major network news last night it was quick to point out that some 70% percent of the liberal folks on Martha’s Vineyard voted for the president. Folks our economic condition is not so much about politics as it is about greed and those whom have been elected not fulfilling their commitments. One group is BIG GOV the other is no TAXES well only so many people can work for the GOV and without jobs there can be no TAXES. So neither of you have it right. Repair the community banks and they will repair the business community. bankalchemist.

Obama is so out of touch with not only Americans but most of humanity!!
Telling us he is having a great vacation and posting everything but when they go to the toilet is such an insult and slap in the face to all of us average Americans that are having trouble just paying our bills.
There has never been such disrespect for a president as is to Obama.
AND RIGHTFULLY SO !!!!!!

I can’t believe he’s our President. He’s simply a BS artist.

Pathetic.

The American press needs to stop bothering Obama on his vacations and wait for the next time he has a live press conference and takes uncensored questions.
And if I am not mistaken I think Obama has his next press conference scheduled for September 2016.

B.O. is not the “man” the Left thought he was. Worse than Carter, which was unthinkable 18 months ago.
“Let me be clear.” B.O. “will not rest” until he has sealed the doom of this nation.

The media will never ask our thin skinned President real questions. How long has it been since he even held one of his orchestrated “press conferences” where he droned on, never answering even the softball, few prepared questions, he would allow? Heaven help us.

It is much better when he is on vacation. He does less damage to America.

i hope all of you who voted for this fraud are happy with his “hope and Change” now! i can’t believe he’s got the nerve to do the amount of vacationing and golf playing that he has done…then again NOTHING surprises me anymore…he is nothing but an egomaniac as is his wife and all the czars he’s apointed to his new REGIME! Get out and vote these people out before our country is destroyed!

Not only do we have more issues with Iran on account of the America hating president, But while he buys his shrimp he and his fellow Democrats continue to let our hight tech and manufacturing jobs be exported to China and Mexico. That is why we have high unemployment and an unfair trade imbalance with China. George H Bush may have tried to pass Nafta, but it was Billyboy Clinton who sealed that deal in 1994. B O never worked an honest day in his entire community organizing life let alone have anythin incommon with the American worker. All he knows is his Saul Alinski rules for radicals and is on schedule with the de-construction of the United States of America as we know it. Wake up America before its to late B O and his dimbulb VP are out to make this country a third world nation.

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? reply to above blaming Bush (again). Note most of Clinton’s jobs disappeared the last 6 months of his administration in the great tech bubble bust. Bush came in with ONE (1) vote margin (the VP only when jumpin jeffers jumped). Fortunately he got the tax cuts and private economic stimulus on track just before the radical Muslims struck on 9/11. With a split congress his domestic economic policy was thwarted too often and finally completely with the 2006 Democrat takeover of Congress (which included Obama himself). From THAT POINT forward – the deficit began to grow out of bounds and Fannie and Freddie policies went 100x radically risky setting off the 2007-8 economic time bomb. The Dem congress killed the US Economy and the WORLD economy and they still have many convinced it was all Bush’s fault. The hen that cackles the LOUDEST laid the EGG ! All the noise is coming from the current White House (and congress)

I noticed he had Valerie Jarrett with him as always. I think she is his handler. Whenever his real boss (whoever that is) calls it is Val’s job to be sure he does what he is told. She found the ideal useful idiot to put up and carry the election for whoever is REALLY calling the shots.

Yeah, how can you bother him with questions about our country and how he is running us into a ditch. Don’t you know he is on his umpteenth vacation. What a joke.As long as he is having his shrimp, while the unemployed among us are having nothing to eat, he is happy.
More and more people are losing jobs, WHERE ARE THE JOBS???

He does less harm on vacations. I wouild ask shy he is not eating Gulf Shrimp.
I just wise he goes on vacatoni for the month of September and takes Pelosi and Reed with him.

Notice the flashing, great big ole hypocrisy? IF these two gluttonous greedy egomaniacs (Michelle and Barack Obama) REALLY didn’t want public scrutiny, they wouldn’t be out on their daily roadshows parading around waving and laughing at everyone. Does ANYone think they can’t have dinner where they’re living on any night/afternoon of any day of the year? Ever heard of ordering in, or sending one of their many taxpayer-paid “servants” off to pick something up to bring back? Not like they don’t have live-with chefs, cooks, grocery shoppers and whatever else imaginable, IF they actually DID want privacy.
No, they want the daily puppet shows what with Michelle’s ridiculous clown costumes and Barack’s pompous waving and chewing and whatnot. They like to be shown doing nothing because they assume that’s going to hurt the most Americans in down economics times, just rubbing salt into wounds and bein’ Mr. and Mrs. Ridiculous at your expense.
Going for shrimp? No answers to questions? Then why go out amidst the press and people? Not like Barack isn’t playing everyone for a fool. His egotism is sinful beyond the forgivable.
“Look at us, look at us, LOOK AT US, we’re eatin’ lobster and shrimp and being driven around in limousines and YOU AREN’T! Hey, guys, seen any decent country lately?”

HE IS HIDING FROM THE PRIMARIES ! NO ONE WANTS HIM AROUND ! WHO NEEDS HIM CAMPAINING FOR THEM !

What is with the weird hand motions the First Lady is making in this video? She’s acting like a 12 year old. How did the lanky flapping movements of Dakota Fanning take hold as the latest fashion statement?
You can say I’m being trivial, but No, our leaders (and their wives) are not allowed to be spunky. They should at least behave like people of dignity.

Well, at least he can afford shrimp on the tax payers dime. Michelle has a nice watch that was a gift. Really glad they are taking a vacation from all of that very tiring fund raising and campaigning. Man, eating that much high end dinner at $30,000 per plate, and traveling to Spain with 40 of your closest friends can really take it out a family!

Shut up you big baby! Iran has nukes, Housing market is in dump, Economy in ruins, Borders are leaking.
Nero played the fiddle while Rome burned.
Obama played golf while America declined.

Nero fiddled while Rome burned.

We are buying shrimp….and 32% are still buying your communist lies.

I am trying to figure out why reporters just don’t ignore him. They know he can’t answer any questions without his teleprompter.
We have record foreclosures, record evictions, record bankruptcies and two hot wars and he takes six vacations?
He still hasn’t read the health scam bill that apparently was written by nobody. Max Baucus said he couldn’t be bothered with reading it, they hire experts for that.
Maybe he can just take a permanent vacation to someplace exotic, that would stimulate the economy and increase the average IQ of DC!!

Ryan C – Wow right wingers are still hanging onto this? No more than you idiots are holding onto “it’s all Bush’s fault”

I questioned John McCain’s selection of a running mate.

Green lady, “ryanc”, flashO”, “pMama”, & “tierra” are the simply lost in the hopey changey vision of America letting Pres Barry move us toward a “European style” welfare state?
Not surprisingly, Obama’s thin skin leads to self pity, in a fundraising event for Sen. Barbara Boxer, Obama said,
“Let’s face it: this has been the toughest year and a half since any year and a half since the 1930s.”
Really, now? Worse than the period surrounding December 7, 1941 and September 11, 2001? Worse than what Gerald Ford faced after the resignation of Richard Nixon and Watergate, which constituted the worse constitutional scandal in our history and tore the country apart? Worse than what Ronald Reagan faced after Jimmy Carter (when interest rates were 22 percent, inflation was more than 13 percent, and Reagan faced something entirely new under the sun, “stagflation”)? Worse than 1968, when Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr. were assassinated and there was rioting in our streets? Worse than what LBJ faced during Vietnam — a war which eventually claimed more than 58,000 lives? Worse than what John Kennedy faced in the Bay of Pigs and in the Cuban Missile Crisis, when we and the Soviet Union edged up to the brink of nuclear war? Worse than what Franklin Roosevelt faced on the eve of the Normandy invasion? Worse than what Bush faced in Iraq in 2006, when that nation was on the edge of civil war, or when the financial system collapsed in the last months of his presidency? Worse than what Truman faced in defeating imperial Japan, in reconstructing post-war Europe, and in responding to North Korea’s invasion of South Korea?
The recession of 2009-2010-2011 is so darn unfair for Pres Barry.

Why should Obama think I’ll listen only when he decides he wants to talk? I want to hear from him right now. It’s now or never, Mr. President. And there’s not a d—- thing you can do about it.

Remember back when we had a real press? Reporters who asked the hard questions and pressed until they got an answer.
Obama is dismissive of the American people…his one term can not end soon enough!

It seems some people are beginning to get the subtlest of hints that they voted for a vain-glorious south Chicago community organizer with no experience to be President of the United States, and maybe….just maybe, that was an ill considered move.

Like all egomaniacal tin-plated dictators, he only wants your praise, not your pesky little questions. This man is possibly the worst president in modern history on a number of levels. If only we could have Richard Nixon back! I’m sick at my stomach that I voted for this clown over HRC in the primaries (not that HRC would have been a whole lot better).

wanna be dictators don’t have to answer questions. come on guys were unemployed good thing our dictator in chief is having a good time on vacation i was worried he might not get to play a few rounds of golf

This man is a Neo-Nero. A vainglorious powerhungry egomaniac who plays games whilst his country is in crisis. He’s actually worse than Bush if only because he PROMISED that he would be SO much better. Another LIAR.

“Just let me eat my waffle”….pffft

“I’m buying shrimp” – “Let them eat cake”
How timely. However, probably should have been, “Hey, the taxpayers, are buying us shrimp”. How about next week at Disney in Orlando? That’ll make the Florida Dems real happy.

How dare we bother the POTUS with matters concerning the nation.

You show me a socialist, and I’ll show you a looter!

CAN YOU IMAGINE WHAT THE MSM WOULD HAVE DONE WITH AN ANSWER LIKE THAT IF IT HAD BEEN GWB?
THE HYPOCRISY. THE SELF-RIGHTEOUS INDIGNATION. THE FUROR.
THEY SHOULD BE ASHAMED!

Hey, I’m with whoever made the comment about Michelle’s stupid hand movements – how old is she, 12? The Queen of England would spit out her tea if she saw that!
“Drying off?” Awww, it dared to rain on the Bammy’s vacation? The NERVE!

I believe Obama is in way over his head. He has the haggered look of a man who is tired and doesn’t know what to do. His left leaning policies won’t allow him to lower taxes because they would have to admit Reagan was right. What Obama will do is raise taxes by letting the Bush tax cuts end and then the country will be in huge trouble.
The reason the president is on vacation so much is because he is just milking the presidential perks for two more years till he is a private citizen again.

Really! Watching this, all I could think of was how high school they act. And the arrogance of her, to grab a sip out of that man’s drink cup, like he was one of her girls, hanging out by the lockers… They disgust me.

the beloved king being loved by the peasants, .PR stunt.
P.S. so sick of the uninformed putting out the “Bush took more vacations” lie, that must have come from the hater olberman and his other little hating friends that are beyond redemption, angry, delusional, out of touch limousine liberal elitists that parse out guilt to the hard working honest American people, you know the ones that don’t work in the media or for the gov. and have jobs that you wouldn’t touch with a 10 foot pole…the ones that harvested and cooked that shrimp, the ones that do the dirty jobs. Everytime I see them they are eating. Ice cream, shrimp, waffles, $30,000 a plate meals where you get to bash America to those that just can’t get enough of that stuff.

What a disgrace!!!!!
Although I threw my vote away in November 2008, at least I can hold my head up high knowing that I didn’t throw it away on Odufus!

And as good little obedient “journalists,” y’all left him alone!
Golly gee, wow! He spoke to y’all. You mean, you didn’t swoon, get tears in your eyes or faint?
Imagine, just for a moment, this was a Republican president or vice president, there’s no way in hades that you “journalists” would let a comment like this slip past. In fact, this would be top news with so-called pundits wondering what the president or vice president is hiding.
Pathetic, what a bunch of pathetic little girlie journalists. I wonder will y’all ever grow a pair and actually ask the president touch questions. Probably not.
Thanks for devaluing my journalism degree just a little more. Either do your job, or get out of the way and let a real journalists (if any exist) ask the questions.

I agree that the hand thing from Michelle was very disturbing.
BTW an answer to a similar question to the previous President netted “Now watch this drive…” which was the basis for an entire part of Michael Moore’s movie. Hopefully he’s working on the sequel with Obama not treating the war seriously and golfing all the time. He’s not? Oh, I thought he was a fair journalist…

Must be nice to go on many vacations, and fly around on our dime. I’d just like one vacation, in our small travel trailer….but with Obama’s bans on oil drilling and in 3 States bans on coal mining, our utility bills keep going up!
All while he eats $100 per lb. steak and shrimp….and has the audacity to not answer questions and rub his “shrimp” in our nose!
This man is an arrogant elitist, pure and simple!

Jake Tapper – Thanks for posting something that shows the egotistical nature of this cry baby. Its nice to see a glimmer of hope from ABC. Even if it is a tiny glimmer….. lets see if it last…

We’re buying shrimp, guys,” he said, smiling. “Come on.” Where’d you get the money to buy shrimp Obama? Are they out of Wagyu? Say Michelle, how come you snuck out to visit the New Grand Mosque in Granada while you were in Spain? Hmmmmm?

snarkybird wrote: I cant wait to see where a republican congress takes us in 2011. Oh wait, I don’t have to. I was awake from 1994 to 2007.
Yeah. Avg unemployment 1995-2006 5%
Dem Congress 2007-2010 9.4%
LOL!

What the hell…I’m a Tea Partier and I agree with Obama. He’s on vacation buying shrimp at a snack bar. Not quite the time for serious discussions about the Iraq war.

It’s always funny to see the legions of Obamabot apologists come rolling in everytime something is linked to Drudge.
Poor Barry . . . having to play President is such hard work. Somebody get Barry another Shrimp Cocktail and maybe the first lady needs another $500K (to the taxpayers) trip to Europe . . . Ibiza perhaps??

This is starting to fit more and more each day!
The Obama’s
Well we’re movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.
Fish don’t fry in the kitchen;
Beans don’t burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin’,
Just to get up that hill.
Now we’re up in the big leagues,
Gettin’ our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it’s you and me baby,
There ain’t nothin wrong with that.

Ask him to name his favorite White Sox player from Cominskey Park, lol. Rahm gave him that hat.

Look at all the culturally destructive people bashers that come out when confronted with the truth. These tired, old, failed attack tactics of the liberal progressive past isn’t working anymore. Time to quit reacting stupidly and grow up. Obama has failed miserably. Man up to the facts before it’s too late.

The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.
The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America . Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.
The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.

Obamabots MARCH!! There’s people from Drudge over here.
In between the fresh crab and the oysters the President took 10 minutes out of his busy day to discuss the economy via conference call. Then it was nap time.
Meanwhile Michelle worked diligently planning her next vacation . . . was it going to be 50 or 60 friends this time??? And where to . . . oh the dilemma.

I just think it is so cool that Obama eats shrimp. Maybe it was from the Gulf of Mexico! Isn’t it great to have such a common man as president?

Let’s buy this vapid loser in the WH a one way ticket to Palookaville! Chi-town punk politician.

Get a grip Princess, you don’t need any more time off. You’ve got about 2 more years and then you can have all of the time in the world.

If we still had a functioning Fourth Estate instead of a bunch of Obama Lapdogs, we might be able to get some answers from the President.
If he can take six vacations, you’d think some reporter would ask him why he won’t hold press conferences.
The White House Press Corp is an embarrassment to the field of journalism.

I’m getting so tired of people ripping into Obama. He’s been in office for what a year and a half? Give the guy a break when it comes to the wars and all that. He’s doing the nest he can and as far as I have seen, he’s not been on that many vacations. So, if any of you think you can do better, then run for president in 2012 or shut up!

obama is the gift that keeps on giving. i bet rush has made more off obama than hes ever made.

This guy is the best thing to happen to conservatives in this country since Jimmy Carter. The only thing missing is a bunch of hostages in Iran…oh wait..we have that too…

Jake,
The depth of your reporting would put you below safe diving in my 2 year old niece’s swimming pool.
Did you get an advanced degree for this kind of work?
Your parents must be proud.

Obumer’s buying shrimp? I brought top ramen today, been laid off and can’t find a job since Nov 2009. Thank god I have a van in case I have to live in it. However it get really cold in the winter here.

Blago should call Dr. Eric Whittaker at the next trail.

Clean sweep in November. Time to vote them all out. I am going to pray every night that the loosers are voted out!!

at what point in time can we expect the mainstream press to stop drooling over this complete moron of an administration they seem to still be on board with this nitwit of a president.

Obama didn’t say “Come on” at the end. Watch and listen carefully to the video. He never said it. The press just FEELS like he said “Come on”. Analyze that.

This drivel is called “Political Punch?” Come On.

I still haven’t been able to find out if Obama bought gulf shrimp.

As a lifetime resident of the Alabama Gulf Coast, I seriously doubt Barry or his queen could actually peel a shrimp.

Really, how DUMB can one be? Doesn’t this jerk-face KNOW what a statement like THAT would cause among the millions of struggling, high taxed, unemployed, under-employed, every day average working Citizens? He could have at least said “We’re shopping”, instead of “We’re buying shrimp”! Oh, he’s just got to show how ‘cool’ and elitist he is – he’s buying and eating shrimp! He never once thinks about the people who maybe can’t AFFORD shrimp. How insensitive he is to EVERYONE. STUPID JERK!
If people don’t think he’s a selfish, ungrateful, arrogant, entitlement minded, uncaring jerk by now – you don’t need to be voting in any future elections or have babies! Other than his selfish, arrogant qualities – he has absolutely NO idea on how to govern or lead a FREE nation (well, he DOES know about socialism/marxism)!

Nero fiddled while Rome burned.
November elections are coming……soon.

Too funny – would not eat sea food in Florida where the experts said the food was ok – but they eat shrimp – bottom feeders – at a beach closed to swimmers because of infections from FECAL MATTER.
How Odrama Queenie of them.

Reference the purple watch mentioned above..I seen it and it is a “gift” from the SEIU Union..so go figure that..while we are well and truly screwed on the job market, once again for the eleventh time, Obama and the Mob enjoy another holiday..If only me and my wife could afford even a short weekend away, we would be so happy..but as we can’t afford it, we have to stay at home and hope we still have a home..

Obama…. Eat more Gulf shrimp and LOTS of pork!

“I’m ruining America guys, come on!”

Just think…we could have been saying “President McCain.” I voted for McCain; my conscience is clear.

I can concede that the man is on vacation…but he’s not on vacation within the safety of Camp David or his private residence. As such, if he wants to once again make a publicity stunt by chumming it with the commoners he has to deal with the obligatory parade of reporters behind him. You can’t have your cake and eat it too, Obama. If you want to be a ‘man of the people’ then how about answering some of the people’s questions.

Safe to say Mongrels are not very smart and it goes to show any Can-Man can become a Trojan Horse in this Country.
I hope the new House & Senate can Impeach the Slacker.
He has to Go !
You watch, Nancy will have some “Hail-Mary” Spending Bills ready to pass quickly after they lose the Power in the Nov Elections. They will try to get another 50 Billion to friends.

Electing Obama was like getting a new Dog, fun to pet for a while, you try to potty train him, but after he constantly poops on the floor you realize the dog is just stupid and will never change.
Are there any Animal Shelters who could use a dumb Mongrel?

Impeach this useless clown.
The Main Stream Media put this clueless Marxist into office and he has set out to destroy the economy through misguided Keynsian policies.
This Socialist takeover of what was once the world’s most prosperous nation will ruin America the way that the Democrats ruined Detroit.
The sooner this clown gets impeached, the better.
Where is Pinochet when we need him?

By and large we get the government we deserve. ‘Nuf said.

Why no white people at the lunch?

Hey, TRAITOR Media, I’ll just repeat this for you, so you can, like, digest it with your shrimp; pretend it was George Bush who jus told you to go shove it:
“But the president was in no mood today to discuss the issue with reporters in that setting. He ignored questions for a bit, then turned to the reporters.
“We’re buying shrimp, guys,” he said, smiling. “Come on.”"

Why did no one call him on his disingenuous “shrimp” comment? The First Family alone is driving the price of LOBSTER beyond the means of a mere working slob.

Sadly this is the best thing he has done for the economy while being president. If only he would resign and keep buying shrimp…

No catfish?

A good response to the president’s buying shrimp comment is,
“The economy is still tanking. Come on!”

Elizabeth Alexander? We are paying for the Presidential Poet?

ABC and the rest of the Obama-friendly media keep reporting the “removal of combat troops from Iraq”. Meanwhile, troops from the Armored Calvary Division out of Fort Hood, are quietly being sent INTO Iraq this same week — but they’re not being called “combat” troops.
Why oh why does our biased media not give us news, instead of propaganda?

I like lobster and shrimp too! It’s my right and I want the government to pay for it. Well, they take so much of my money to stimulate the economy that now I can’t afford lobster and shrimp. I am employed and used to be able to afford it on my own.

Obama has no effective plan for the economy and no plan for the ongoing wars. He is an inept, incompetent leader and manager that is obviously in a state of denial and avoidance.

Reid, Pelosi and Biden will make sure the destruction of the nation stays well on track. With or without this imposter.

Knowing Obama he probably dumped the lobster & shrimp they bought, then made the old switch-a-roo…..very convincing.

Don’t bother me with national issues…can’t you see I’M buying shrimp here! Go ask BUSH!
(where’s the teleprompter? where’s the teleprompter?)

To LISA
Please do not compare Obama to a bad dog. Dogs are much more clever, loyal, and sensitive. Obama only wishes he had the intelligence of a dog. Obama Poops on the lowly, racist, gun carrying rubes of America everyday and then tells the “idiot press” to leave him alone because he is busy eating his shrimp and lobster. The “dumbas*” press just sits there doing what they are told to do. The real rubes are the press

If Pres. Bush has said something that insensitive, every network would have lead with it.

Buying shrimp and eating lobster/steak is more important to the Obamas than World problems. Disgrace!

This couple thinks about nothing but eating and vacations. If this man isn’t voted out after his first term something is way wrong with this country.

ABC and the rest of the Obama-friendly media keep reporting the “removal of combat troops from Iraq”. Meanwhile, troops from the Armored Calvary Division out of Fort Hood, are quietly being sent INTO Iraq this same week — but they’re not being called “combat” troops.
Why oh why does our biased media not give us news, instead of propaganda?

Hey People he will give the official speech Tuesday. If there were something life threating or earth shattering I’m pretty sure he would not be on V a C a Tion”…. He is on vacation even a President gets one of those… You Repulicans are all …. whatever.

If Sarah Palin had done this it would be front page news!
“Palin Is Rude To Reporters!”
I hate the mainstream media.

He apologizes for America every other breath. I wonder if he will ever apologize to the American people??? Sure wish we didn’t have to pay to have this bunch protected for the rest of their lives, what a waste.

What is the President doing hanging out with Wall Street “fat cats”? The Walker family is tied to Goldman Sachs and Neuberger Berman, icons of Wall Street. Is Obama the biggest two face person or what? He just bad mouths wall street to look like he is touch with main street when tha fact is he is in the pockets of Wall Street. I wonder whose home is he staying in? A Wall Street tycoon perhaps.

News organizationa, politicans and everyday people need to give him a break. Let him enjoy his 6th vacation.
Destroying a country is hard work. He needs his rest.

Yes, I agree, his presidency is becoming kind of shrimpy. For each bite of shrimp he took, I’m sure thousands of people were worrying about their jobs. I’m sure Michelle would think, ‘Let’em eat shrimp tails.”

I’ve never seen a president so clueless in my lifetime.

Until there are term limits on congressman and senators there will always be corruption in Washington. Democracts, Republican or whatever the longer they are there the more lobbyist beds they sleep in… It is not the Presidents fault on the economy. Just like Bush didn’t create the mess, neither did Obama. But someone has to try and clean it up

Worst. “President.” Ever.

The guy is something isn’t he? Why he went to Mr and Mrs Howell’s Martha’s Vineyard when he could be hanging out in New Orleans or the gulf coast pumping them with much needed dollars is beyond me. Michelle must have called that shot, as this is a no brainer to not only get some votes in swing states but pump some money in a very depressed part of America.
I mean did I miss something here? hey I’m a Republican so I’m happy he’s so stupid, so you go guys have fun in Martha’s Vineyard, in that bluest of blue states! LOL!

He didn’t want to spend more than 24 hours in Panama City. Not blue blood enough for him I guess.

Obama the Narcissistic Buffoon Strikes Again
Unite, Americans…
It’s going to take every one of us to get the Obamas, unions and parasite “social justice” Democrats and America haters off of our backs and out of our wallets.
Vote.
Democrats.
Out.
ALL OF THEM.

Obama’s an improvement over Bush???!!! Maybe you’re part of the media over at ABC.

Looks like he got his Sox hat at the airport.. “I’m Obama rich, Beeawwtch”

JG, if you didn’t hear any yammering about Bush at the ranch, then you were either in a coma or just not paying attention. All the press did was yammer about Bush.

Must be me, but Michelle has really gotten uglier (if possible) and uglier as the months progress. Wonder why Obama is always sticking it to us.

Yes, we must stop interrupting Obama’s meals. Unemployment, securing borders, etc. isn’t as important as Obama’s MEALS.

It’s all about Obama. The serious matters of the world be damned.
This is a huge ego we are dealing with.

I knew he was fooling everybody when he had thousands of people in stadiums to see him like he was the Messiah. Don’t forget the women crying when they heard him speak. LMAO!

It is so sad that so many people just refuse to see what a danger this moron is to this country. But I guess it is also just as sad that so many people in this country hate it so much. But please take notice, no matter how much they hate it, they don’t seem eager to leave. And the news media??? All I can say is GO FOX!

They eat shrimp and enjoy an elitist life styyle. The American People are dissed and damned by these Megalomaniacs!

Has no one even recognized the guy that shares his drink with princess michelle? Looks a lot like rev. wright

Why does the main stream reporters let them get away with not answering questions. If this was GW that would never happen. Come on Tapper get your head on straight and do a reporters job. These fools are ruining the country.

At least 40% of America still support this guy. If you take away the Unions and the African Americans that leaves only the Main stream News Media

Mr President,
We need jobs man. Come on.

Reminds me of the time the reporters hit up President Bush when he was playing golf which Michael Moore featured prominently in “Fahrenheit 9/11″. Both that incident and the incident described here are completely innocent.
I’m guessing Mr. Moore is going to conveniently miss this one though.

hey gumby, 2 trillion in debt and still counting is not earth shattering to you? In case you don’t know math, that’s 5 times more than the bush years debt. And in less than 18 months! Outside of your Captain Kangaroo world, we’re suffering out here.

Well it looks like he has not a care in the world. Would or could he be the President of the USA? We are dying out here Mr. Obama, and all you can do is laugh, vacation, play golf, bow to Muslim Leaders, cut down our country, and ignore questions fom reporters.
You are not fit to shine my shoes and you think you are the dictator to the world. I really think you have a peronality disorder and I care not if you get well or not; what I care about is getting rid of you ASAP! The Worst President we’ve ever had!!!! Now go eat the shrimp that we bought for you.

Bush did give the first stimulus with a democratic congress right behind him. But it took him 8 years and he came no where near the debt and dismemberment of our government that this hypocritical partying president has. How many concerts and vacations and muslim holiday dinners will we be forced to pay for in the next two years?Can’t wait to pull that lever that hopefully will kick his butt out of “The People’s House”.

Jimmy Carter better president than Obama. Now that’s scary.

George Walker with Obama! Wasn’t he a head of Lehman Brothers at one time? And isn’t he a second cousin of George Walker Herbert Bush former Prez? Interesting bedfellows Obama has! And he calls these guys Wall Street fat Cats and then eats with them and stays at their homes. What can you say to that radical left?

Let them have a weeks’ vacation.

Send him a message on November 2. Vote for the “right” people – even if they aren’t perfect and you may have to hold your nose to do it. The socialist democrat ways must stop.

These people are boors. Obama admitted to youthful drug abuse. Because of it, he suffers from arrested maturity. We literally have a juvenile delinquent for a president. See NIH studies on youthful drug abuse. And we elected him to be our president!

White House must have decided to show a different face for a change such as White House Coorespondent Jake Tapper instead Obama….because the American Public is tried of looking at this socialist face>

Guess what President Obama? You never really get a ‘vacation’. So if you go to a public place, expect the press to follow and ask those questions that you never want to answer or ever will answer. And we all know Bill Burton will not answer them either because all he is good for is smiling and attacking the very members of the media that got you elected.

This moron can’t buy “shrimp” and answer questions? As each day goes by we hate this guy and his arrogant wife even more. Talk about a couple of Southside chicago bums!! These people NEVER BELONGED IN THE WHITE HOUSE THEY ARE FROM THE ROUGHEST PART OF CHICAGO!! when did we think putting punks in the white house made any sense at all??? I hope we can impeach this guy.

Posted by Jerry but repeated for emphasis:
“Recession is when your neighbor loses his job. Depression is when you lose yours. Recovery is when Obama loses his.”

Obama stutters without his teleprompter. I remember the LIBERAL media saying Bush wasn’t smart because he mispronounced words. Obama did that and the LIBERAL media said nothing! The LIBERAL media are idiots themselves!

As a former Field Engineer who worked 24/7, yes you were available 24/7 if a problem arises etc.
We have a worthless president (no capital for him) Who spends more time planning vacations and golfing trips than worrying about Iraq, the debt, unemployment etc.
Sorry Obammy, the Presidency is 24/7 all day all the time…there is no down time, either get it or gtho.

Obama does a GREAT job making himself look weak.

Well isn’t that special? They eat, they drink, they wear tennis shoes! All in a day’s work when your on a ‘working vacation’. Working the sheeple…. oops, people & the press must be very tiring. Deserving of another vacation, I’m sure.

Derrick read you article about bhs being a better president than gw. I’m going to be nice but before you make that statemrnt these are a few books you should read. Culture of Corruption, Crimes against America, Liberty and Tyrany and tha’s for starters. Now these are a few pals opf bhs you should research B ayers, Jwright, R khalidi, Ldavis, FARAKAAN, V jones, then research the czars and staff a vast lot of taxs cheats felons, communist party members MAO lovers, lobbyiest Icould go on and on but it could take days and months to write. One other note 3000 people died during 9-11 so yes we are at war. Also crunch some numbers during the bush years such as gdp, unemployment t r

What a GREAT Commander in Chief! Getting shrimp is more important than discussing the Iraq situation

These two are nothing but wedding crashing grifters, gettin’ while the gettin’ is good. She probably keeps plastic bags in her purse to load up at the buffet.

I guess facts do have a liberal bias. Not that any of you morons can remember things for more than 5 minutes.
“Some of the president’s recent predecessors, however, have spent more days — either entirely or partially — away from the White House “on vacation” during their first year in office.
President Reagan, in 1981, spent all or part of 42 days away from the White House “on vacation” at his home in Santa Barbara, Calif, according to Knoller. President Reagan and his wife, Nancy, also spent three or four days around New Year’s Day each year in Palm Springs, Calif., at the home of philanthropist Walter Annenberg. (In 1993 the late Mr. Annenberg founded the nonpartisan Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania, which is FactCheck.org’s parent organization.)
President George W. Bush spent even more time away from the presidential mansion in the nation’s capital than Reagan. Of the 77 total “vacation” trips the former president made to his Texas ranch while in office, nine of them — all or part of 69 days — came during his first year as president in 2001, according to Knoller.”

Incoming… duck… Oh, I’m sorry, you are not the commander in chief right now, you’re busy buying shrimp. Anyone tell this guy his job is 24/7!

You know,I think we should start a petiton drive to allow Anna Chapman back into the country. By all public accounts she’s done less damage to the United States than Obama, she’s more pro-business, in Great Britain she criticized their lax immigration laws, she has a verified IQ of 162 (does anyone really know what Obummer’s is…double digits maybe?) Ok OK, she does have a commie father….BUT WAIT!!….wasn’t Big O’s father a Communist Party supporter?

I hate to point to the obvious but Obama is the president now—not Bush. Democrats really need a new whine because that one is about as worn out as its race baiting agenda and labeling of everyone that doesn’t follow them like zombies ,”racist”. Never in my 64 years have I seen a group of people make civil rights and decency for all people so irrelevant by trying to use it as a political wedge.
.
.
Obama is the fox guarding the henhouse and anyone who refuses to see it just can’t admit they were fooled into voting for him in the first place.

Let them eat shrimp I guess.

Cannot say that I really “know” all the prior POTUSi, BUT it’s VERY hard to imagine that we EVER had one who was less competent, more arrogant or cared so little about the average actual citizen.

While the Obama’s frolic with the rich and famous at Martha’s Vineyard : our economy tanks; Iran builds nukes; our Southern border goes unsecure; we witness the implementation of a stealth amnesty program thru the systematic refusal to deport apprehended illegal aliens; the American people suffer under repeated displays of arrogant contempt for their expressed will; employers remain reluctant to hire in response to the unprecedented on-slaught of onerous new taxes and regulatory millstones; we’re forced to witness the continuous denigration of our Judeo/Christian heritage; America’s energy sector is being willfully destroyed; our military force structure is being slowly but surely denuded to fulfill Obama’s pledge: “I will cut tens-of-billions from Defense spending; halt the U.S. military’s development of advanced weapons systems; reduce our military to a point that would not be viewed as a threat to our Middle-East adversaries; and, terminate America’s ballistic missile defense program.”; the American flags that previously flanked Presidents at their WH press conferences have been replaced with a Muslim tapestry; and, the Muslims build a Cordova Victory mosque over Ground Zero; but, whatever you do don’t let these comparatively insignificant items interfere with the Obama’s vacation plans. We can only pray that the Obama in-your-face “joyride” on the taxpayer dime and the concurrent American “nightmare” will end with soon to be initiated impeachment proceedings of this most radical left-wing extremist that we unwittingly elevated to the presidency of the United States. Greg Neubeck

It’s a good thing the public didn’t listen to the coked out Hollywood deep thinkers and elect their hero or we would have a President more interested in his shrimp than in Iraq. Oh…what a sec

How much will it cost to repair the White House after these tasteless people leave, with their penchant for dimly-lit speakeasy look soirees, probably smoky too?

What Martha’s Vineyard needs is a good old oil spill like the south has then “O” will ignore Martha’s Vineyard and stay away like he keeps his distance from the south. I guess what I’m saying is…. if your going to waste my tax dollars on eating out and travel why not support those down south who really need some help in the financial area? Could it be because of the icky oil that he says does not exist?

Come on, these are the elites. They could care less about you, remember that….

Answer the question sir.

OK you “bought” shrimp but did you actually EAT the shrimp? If you did eat the shrimp, was it gulf shrimp?

Must be nice to be able to buy shrimp while a BUNCH of us are struggling to find a job and support out family! I am just so glad this president chose to take over health care and keeps trying to shove amnesty down our throats, taking over the auto industry, taking over the student loan programs and taking over more of wall street INSTEAD of focusing on creating jobs! Bravo President IDIOT! Bravo all of you democrats in congress! Remember all this in November!

my gosh , reporters in this country are such dweebs….lol… when they have the presidents attention in a provided setting, they ask about shrimp, when they dont have his attention they ask him about the war…. you guys are such losers… but then again, so is Obama…lol

What the heck? Does this guy not get it? (no response needed).
Seriously he knows exactly what he is doing. He is pushing the US towards complete economic and social collapse so the can impose his special brand of order!
Martial law here we come… now if he can just disarm the populance, I know how about some executive orders decreeing that the materials and processes involved in the manufacture of ammo are an enviromental hazard and have the EPA impose draconian restrictions.
There ya have it. You may be left with just pitchforks and torches after he’s through with you!

And he still can’t actually name his favorite White Sox player.

Ok Paul, I give up. What has he done right?

You are what you eat, little man.

MR PRESIDENT GO TO HELL!

The lack of common sense from these two is truly amazing.
And the government wonders why people don’t want to pay taxes.
Amazing.

Like Larry King said: “He’ll have plenty of time for vacation after his first term.”
And “We’re buying shrimp”, godd the rest of the country, or a large part, are dining on Top Ramen or what food stamps cover.
The Pres and First lady have been stuffing themselves on Lobster and other expensive delicasies.
He has spent more time on vacation than he has in the White House.
I get the feeling the first couple are nothing more than the usual lowlifes that wait for their Governmet check. And now that they have a never ending flood of perks they are gonna get all they can while the getin is good.
He has no intention of being a two term president. He’s gonna grab all he can and then run with it!

I don’t understand. I don’t get to take vacations and my position is of no value. The President of the U nited States of America shouldn’t be worried about his time to relax – DO YOUR JOB and lead the country.

Poor Obama..I have no doubt someone in “the bubble” told him it would take the “hoity” out of his “hoity toity” Martha’s Vineyard vacation..if he went to market and bought..oh, let’s say a pound and a half of shrimp-to clean and cook up later…”guys…come on!”

I agree with wkenddad. Obama is the biggest welfare recipient this country has every known and he is going to milk it for all it is worth! Free food, free housing, free cash assistance, free medical,etc. etc. Whomever voted for this mooch should be ashamed of themselves and at least do some volunteer work at a charity of their choice (other than the White House). BO disgusts me. He is the first mixed race president and this was his golden opportunity to really do a great job and dispell any and all stereotypes. True racists would have had to “eat their hats” so to speak and black Americans could finally say, “So there! Take that!”. But nope. He has thrown America right back to the 40′s and 50′s. Thank God he will be gone and America will have to undo what he has done. Sadly we cannot undo the thinking of the people who voted for him. They are terminally ignorant.

Remember these types of things when he’s up for re-election. How quickly we Americans tend to forget. I was lucky to get 1 3-day vacay this year. We both work 45-60 hrs a week and that was still all we could afford!!

Normally I don’t weigh in on bog posting, but the Anti Obama rhetoric has gotten absolutley ridiculous. What’s a pound of shrimp cost, like 5 bucks. Also, there aren’t any fancy hotels on Martha’s vineyard. I guarantee you he’s crashing at a friends pad. It kills me the amount of hate that is being generated by a man taking a vacation with his family when he works 18 hours a day. If you think it is sooo easy to be president and answer questions non stop, even when you are trying to grab a meal with your family, then you should run. America is a free country. Go ahead throw yur hat in the ring. That’s what He did. Now he’s the pres and you’re not. Stop hating and start particip
ating.

The telepromter (& Soros) was not there for him, that’s why the qustion was not answered.

Tapper – you did a fine job on This Week and should be there every week.
And that is the lamest White Sox hat i’ve ever seen. You’d think he could afford a nice fitted one.

hey Bill, I checked out your Factcheck link and it was for the first year in office (2009) not for this year. I bet at the end of this year he will be far ahead of anyone else. And while George W. was at his Texas ranch he was always working and reports were able to ask him anything. And in case you didn’t read, the place where Obama is staying is rented for something like one million dollars.

Obama IS exactly what he accuses President Bush and the Republicans of being…

You are supposed to be the President and therefore, you will be asked questions wherever you go…Just resign, you don’t do anything but vacation all the time anyway.

Anyone starting to notice a pattern? He always avoids answering questions while he’s out eating?!

By the way, Jake, I liked you much better on This Week than that British woman (whatever her name is!). She sounds ANTI-USA. Her comments re America are bias and condescending. ABC should send her back to CNN “the most untrusted news in the world”

Read “The Liberal Mind: The Psychological Causes of Political Madness” by Lyle Rossiter to see what makes Barack and Michelle Obama tick. They are sick, I tell you.

“we’re buying shrimp”. Like Bubba Gump says: socialist shrimp, communist shrimp, redistribution shrimp, shrimp taxes, shrimp deficits, lying shrimp, islamic shrimp, feminized male shrimp and same sex married shrimp.
Seriously funny! I can barely breathe I am laughing so dam hard. You forgot stimulus shrimp, shrimp too big to fail, disenfranchised shrimp, Bush’s fault shrimp, no one under $250,000 shrimp, GZ shrimp and Rove shrimp. I’ll have more soon.

Shame on those that voted for this joke and double shame on those that are still support him rather than admit they were wrong.

If it wasn’t for Obama, Valerie Jarrett would be the biggest mooch on the planet. What’s with these freeloaders???- Easy answer for those that really care to know the truth. All these freeloaders were friends of Michelle. Barry had no friends and as much as he pretends to be a Chicago guy he isn’t. This guy is a phony from his birth to the presidency that is why he has his records sealed. If J. Edgar were alive today this guy would never have been president.

Trash, all of them

No William, the author who wrote this “book” holds that honor.
The book is creepy, written by a man who is a “forensic psychiatrist”. He defines liberals as child molesters, tyrants, and parasites while completely ignoring the corporate agenda used today to manipulate Conservatives, fueled with marketing and fear.

I love it. My new line for crap I don’t want to answer is now….”Come on guys, we’re just buying shrimp here….” LOL. This guy takes a big vacation on the elite location of Martha’s with people now talking we are on the verge of one of the biggest recessions, job tanking. Geez, when even David Letterman is turning on you, you better believe you are a one-termer. Problem was, he just didn’t have the experience to do the job. Oh, say hi to Marie Antoinette for us, Barack.

Remember on the campaign trail 4/21/08 he dodged questions by saying ‘Just let me eat my waffle’

C’mon guys! You’re not being the friendly, suck-up press he paid for when he got into this job. Now QUIT criticizing the guy you put in office! Where are all those softball questions you were asking when you had your nose up his cooze? He’s not the President when he’s on vacation; just when he’s raising taxes and money for other socialists to get into office.

“We’re buying shrimp, guys,” he said, – “Come on.”
Remember the Democrats put Ayatollah Khomeini into power three decades ago. (Thanks, Jimmy!)
~ Obama is devouring Peanut Shrimp

- – - mean while, in more serious news…………..
- -The Obamas’ have switched to shrimp after depleting America’s U.S. lobster supply in Marthas Vineyard ~

Here is the stupid part about this entire thing, the adventure to “buy shrimp” was a media stunt all from the start. I mean the President has his personal chef on vacation with him, you dont think the chef or staff is going to buy and prepare the food? So like I said, the buying shrimp was to remind us that food is “safe” from the gulf. BTW, although I am happy Obama is a sox fan and not a cubs fan, he once was asked who his favorite player was. Obama couldnt come up with a single player name. Any person from Chicago could have come up with Frank Thomas or Mark Buehrle.

Well, at least a Shrimp is like a small lobster.. sorta…
Maybe with the new healthcare plan the Obama’s can get put on Lipitor to tackle their high cholesterol. Good thing is BOPOTUS is on the golf course again and the whole family is vacationing, yet, once again.. Of course, the rest of the world is going down the toilet, but that’s okay, the elitist’s are WELL taken care of..

He needs his teleprompter just to say good morning, so of course he didn’t have an answer for you. That would mean he had a brain of his own.

GDP Revised 1.6
E P I C – F A I L U R E
And you can call us Tea Partiers racists but the fact of the matter is that working Americans have had it with redistribution to SUPPORT OBummer’s second coming of Generational Welfare for the Black Man & Woman!
The jig is up November and you better hand out the rest of that stimulus to you black & muslim buddies real fast cause it’s all your gonna get!

Can’t walk and chew gum. Remember that one Dems?

Well mr. and mrs. king kong don’t have time to answer relevant questions. They’re planning their next vacation. What’s wrong with all you people?!?

Once again white folk in America refuse to see what;s truly is happening in America. The Klan is rising again and it’s called the Tea Party as well as the white white establishment. The problems that Mr. Obama is facing is do to 200 years of white supremacy. A alwyas a black person will take over when things hit the fan. The the white establishment will say ” see we put a black in power and look what happened! It happens in all facets of life from politics to sports. Black folks get thing when all hope is lost and we are blamed for the problems. The problem was created before we got there but it is us who take the blame for the mess up. White people did it to the Africans in Africa, the native people here in the western hemishere (All three parts of the Americas and also to Asians in the far east and India. get iot through your wet slick nasty heads….YOU ALL ARE TO BLAME FOR THE WORLD”S PROBLEMS!!!!!!
