The Bidens Head To The Hamptons; Obama’s Summer Vacation Still A Go

Of course he wouldn’t dare miss HIS vacation. We not only don’t get a vacation we are loosing our business because of his and the Dems polices. At least he is not making a speech or out fundraising and campaigning, but then what could he talk about anyway?

READERS PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING,,,,,SHOULD YOU MISS ME ON THIS SITE NEXT WEEK, IT IS BECAUSE MY WIFE AND I WILL BE PACKING UP THE KIDS, THE DOG, AND SOME HOUSEHOLD ITEMS AND HEADING FOR !: THE GAS STATION, AND 2: CANADA….JUST TO BASK IN A COUNTRY THAT HASN’T LOST ITS MARBLES DURING THIS WASHINGTON-INSPIRED NON-DEPRESSION RECESSION. I SAY A WEEK ONLY……UNLESS WE GET VERRRRRRRRY LUCKY. I WAS GOING TO STAY IN TUNE BY USING MY LAPTOP, BUT I FOUND A BUYER FOR IT. PEACE AND LOVE.

I wish the Press would DEMAND access to the POTUS when he’s going on these “working vacations” and ask him serious questions like Jake does. Same for his campaign trips.

FIREDUP49 ; We should all think of electing ppl as hiring–and basically think of ourselves as bosses who decide how much vacation time they are entitled to.

How many times have referenced the Let them rat cake” line when speaking of this Presidency? Has it sunk in yet people? Isnt Govt supposed to be working for US?

Do as I say, not as I do. This is the mantra of ALL politicians. Jerks!

And given the superior compromise given by our politicians, including the 500 pieces of legsislation that closed loopholes, and things of this nature the GOP blocked..why should he not take his vacation? I haven’t seen any GOP’ers willing to cut theirs..and remember 65% of Bush’s term was vacation.

Odds are there’ll be a fund raiser sometime when he’s there.

Had enough “CHANGE” yet???

I wonder how many hard working Americans will have to skip their family vacation this summer? I know I have to. Wouldn’t it be great to have political leaders who are actually in touch with the people they represent? Dems, Reps and Independents alike live in a fairytale world of all expenses paid, guaranteed lifetime income, elite health insurance -and all of this on the backs of the working class.

obama and congress need to get their sorry behinds back to work. They don’t DESERVE a vacation. They work for us and have done a terrible job. They should all have been fired after the credit rating dropped. They don’t understand we are sick of all the parties. The economy is ruined, the bailouts failed, the stimulous got us nowhere but deeper in debt. Obama should have walked out of his office after the rating drop, and fired Geithner and Bernanke immediately. Where are his cajonas?

ELITIST SNOBS !

Overall support for the Tea Party has dipped to 25%”.

On top of that they lost 2 seats by recall in Wisconsin and both the GOP’s and their tea party’s unfavorability ratings are on the rise and over 50% (59% for Republicans.)

No Kimberly, by all means Mr Obama should take time off and get out of town.We mustn’t expect too much of our overworked President.After another 520 point drop today it would appear that the job is just too much for him.

But there are, ahem, some people that begrudge Obama everything because they just aren’t happy when anyone other than a socially conservative Southern Republican holds the presidency. When asocially conservative Southern Republican holds the presidency, then all of a sudden debt, deficits, economic uncertainty, big government, spending, spending, spending and long chunks of time on vacation in, say, Texas, are just fine.

Couldn’t have put it better myself. It exactly describes the overall approach of politicians like George “The constitution is just a piece of paper” Bush and Richard “Deficits don’t matter” Cheney.

Europe is in chaos and fool Obama wants to copy what they did to achieve that chaos. IS HE NUTS!!

ABC homepage headlines talk about nuclear subs in China – WHILE THE THE USA MARKET DIVES 500 MORE POINTS – GO FIGURE!!

Today, according to MSNBC, most says US is on the track. And Mr. Obama is the driver.

The 12,900 private-sector jobs Wisconsin employers created in July not only bring the state’s tally to 39,300 in six months, but they reflect the biggest one-month gain for Wisconsin’s private sector since September 2003.
Wisconsin created a net 9,500 jobs in June, or more than half of the 18,000 positions added to the anemic U.S. economy, taking into account employment surges in states like Texas and plummeting numbers in places like Illinois.
According to recent surveys by Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, 88 percent of employers surveyed believe our state is headed in the right direction, compared to 10 percent last year.
Wisconsin shed some 153,600 jobs in the three years leading up to Governor Scott Walker’s inauguration. It is now one of the leading states in job creation.
Due to reforms in the 2011-13 budget signed into law in July, local units of government and school districts have also already racked up more than $220 million in savings.
Once facing $3.6 billion in red ink, Wisconsin’s finances are now back in the black for the first time in 10 years.

According to Richard Fisher, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, some 37% of all net new American jobs since the recovery began were created in Texas.
Using Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data, Dallas Fed economists looked at state-by-state employment changes since June 2009, when the recession ended. Texas added 265,300 net jobs, out of the 722,200 nationwide, and by far outpaced every other state. New York was second with 98,200, Pennsylvania added 93,000, and it falls off from there. Nine states created fewer than 10,000 jobs, while Maine, Hawaii, Delaware and Wyoming created fewer than 1,000. Eighteen states have lost jobs since the recovery began.
The data are even more notable because they’re calculated on a “sum of states” basis, which the BLS does not use because they can have sampling errors. Using straight nonfarm payroll employment, Texas accounts for 45% of net U.S. job creation.
The Texas economy has grown on average by 3.3% a year over the last two decades, compared with 2.6% for the U.S. overall.

David from Texas, you forgot to add that of those polled, 63% want increased taxes on the wealthy, 9 out of 10 want no increases in taxes on the middle-class or lower income class and nearly two-thirds want no major changes to Social Security or Medicare.

“Six in 10 Americans say members of the new bipartisan “supercommittee” mandated to find new ways of reducing the federal budget deficit should compromise, even if the agreement reached is one they personally disagree with. This includes a majority of Republicans, independents, and Democrats. A majority of Tea Party supporters, however, say the committee should hold out for a plan they agree with, even if no agreement is reached.” (Tea party out of step with majority of America)

Let’s get this right! The United States is and should be governed by media polls and not leaders, correct? Does it matter which media poll we should be governed by each month?

People just ‘fired’ two Republican politicians in Wisconsin yesterday, only in a democracy we call it ‘voting them out of office’.

If O is dead set on a little Vineyard frolicking while the global economy shudders, let him go. He knows the political risk of getting caught by a photographer playing hacky sack on a day when the market drops another 500 points. (It was down 519 today; two of the top 10 biggest Dow drops in market history have occurred within the past three days.) His approval rating’s already perilously close to breaking through the 40th-percentile floor; 73 percent say the country’s on the wrong track; and just one in four Americans still has confidence in the federal government to solve economic problems. The country’s given up on him and on Congress, so what would be accomplished by having him hang around the White House to watch Europe and the NYSE implode? If he wants to give a speech mumbling about ‘recommendations’ for the economy that he plans to get around to issuing one of these days, he can do it from the beach. Have a blast, champ.”

So is…wait for it…Hy.poc.ri.sy….

I think in the beginning many were happy to see the tea party come along. It would be good to have another opinion to consider in times of indecision. However, no one thought they would be so divisive. One can have values and ideas but to keep a country hostage until you get what you want is not how America works. Many like some of your ideas but not the way you forced them on the congress. Every economist has said we need revenue and cuts but you can only see the cuts. It is funny that people like M.Bachman likes to talk about killing subsidies yet she has taken them for her family farm, her busband’s business and even now has has for money from the goverment even since she has campaigned 16 times. She wants money for her rail park in her state..this is stimulus money..you remember the money she says did not work..she wants money for the pork industry, and while saying she would do away with the EPA she has asked them for money also for her state…to create jobs..you know the thing she says daily it never did. She is such a hypocrite and you should read the article in the Huffington Post where it tells all the things she is aking for while yelling that the stimulus did not work ..it did not create jobs and yet she is asking for money…to create jobs…you can’t have it both ways Michelle. Did you not think we would find these things out?

They both need to get the vacation in while we are still paying for it and they get laid off in 2012

remember 65% of Bush’s term was vacation.

Wow! Bush took 1900 days – 270 weeks – of vacation? Who knew?

I think President Obama deserves a break today! There is no reason why he should cancel his vacation with his girls. We all know that this really won’t be a true “vacation”. He will probably still be working and the girls will still have to schedule time to see their dad. I agree with Talmag, he wants to spend some time with them before they go back to school. Every president happens to be on vacation when something serious happens. If lives are at stake, a new military crisis…I could see cancelling it…but the economy is not a reason to cancel his vacation. That job is a very stressful one and I don’t think I could do it, so Mr. President, if you want to go away with your wife and children…go ahead, take a break. Enjoy your family, you will never get these years back again! Enjoy!

You ppl are such petty haters. It seemed that Bush and his family were going to Camp David every other weekend. No one was complaining then. Very hypocritical and petty!!

I just read on facebook that someone believes it’s the Democrats that will start the street riots here in the US. I thought it would be the self-centered, self-indulgent, spoil, entitled, worthless that will do this. Watch out, it is coming here. And when you try to protect yourself and your property you will go to jail!
