Dear People Who Think Obama Should Not Go On Vacation:
Are you out of your ever living mind?!?!?!
Have you not seen what destruction on our economy and morale this man has wrought for three years?!?!
And you want him to go back to Washington, D.C.? Congress too? You are out of your mind.
The correct answer is STAY ON VACATION ALL OF YOU. The stock market tends to do better when Congress is gone. The world tends to run fine when this President is on vacation. Our freedoms cannot be further encroached while Obama is in Martha’s Vineyard.
Please, stop asking this man to come back to Washington where everything he touches tends to break down.
When he comes back in September he says he will have a plan to create jobs. The last several plans he had to create jobs killed or destroyed more private sector jobs than even the most radical leftist could have hoped for. Please, please, please stop saying he needs to come back to Washington.
Mr. President, you take as much vacation as you want. In fact, if you want to leave the country and go visit your relatives in Kenya or just go for a safari or go see your old stomping grounds in Indonesia or, heck, take the family to see penguins in Antarctica or even go to Bora Bora, I’d be glad to have you take say . . . the next twelve months off.
And even better, I’m sure we can find some people to fund your vacation other than the American taxpayers who you’ve been using to fund your political campaign bus tour.

standingonthewall Friday, August 19th at 7:23AM EDT (link)If we could also arrange for those promulgating the economy-killing, job-killing regulations to join the President on his extended vacation, so much the better. Maybe by the time they return we will have arranged for them to work in the private sector.
Think of it this way---Obama's vacation is a win-win for Republicans
smagar (Diary) Friday, August 19th at 8:02AM EDT (link)Actually, for all Americans.
He’s left Washington, so it’s harder for him to damage the economy.
AND, he’s chosen to go to a place (a $50,000-a-week-rental on Martha’s Vineyard) that makes him look aloof, out-of-touch and self-absorbed.
That last part makes it very, very easy for us to argue that Obama literally doesn’t care about most Americans—only the rich and well-connected ones. The president obviously isn’t stupid, so he must know the optics of his vacation spot are muy bad. And yet, he goes there anyway. What a “Let Them Eat Cake” thing for him to do.

In my opinion,
evas Sunday, August 21st at 2:16PM EDT (link)the fact that he is so unconcerned about the image he’s projecting, of dissing the American People, even while his ratings keep dropping, is a very ominous thing. He’s not worried. Why? He must have something up his sleeve that he feels confident he’ll win the election no matter what he does or does not do. I smell something coming. Everyone pray.

Yes, absolutely, take all the vacation you want, Mr. President. But, just park the twin 747′s at Anddrews, leave the $2 million busses in the parking lot, and check into the Super 8 Motel in Steubenville for the next 16 months. To heck with all the jet-setting, Get the man a Playstation with a Tiger Woods game on it, let him stay up past his bedtime, and wake up around noon each day. Lock him down in absolute safety: Ring the place with tanks, anti-aircraft batteries, a couple divisions of armed-to-the-teeth soldiers, I want him extremely well-rested– and most definitely safe.
And let him eat all the greasy cheeseburgers he can stomach.

smitch61 Friday, August 19th at 10:05AM EDT (link)Of all of the issues that bug me immensely about Obama, his vacation schedule is not one of them. He has two beautiful children that do not deserve to be held up in the big house. In all honesty though, it is the vacation sites that he has visited that make me believe he is quite balsy or out of touch. Previous presidents went to camp David or their own wealthy compounds.. (Obama did not have time to create his own compound) lol… the excessive golfing does bother me though, it is over the top. Then again, other presidents got out and jogged every morning.. so I am not sure You are correct, the more they are gone the less damage they do;.

Thats’s a pretty good illustration of the mindless, goo-goo eyed admiration the elite here have for the guy. It’s like being on another planet…one where the masses haven’t gotten word that the country is falling apart.

Anyone who wants 12 people to include a jobs bill only wants something done today plus they also want Obama and congress back today.
Also, the stimulus word is being floated again. If you long gold then don’t worry because our feckless leader is out of good ideas. Obama has no economics team, they quit because Obama is too stubborn to listen to good ideas. Hell, they even floated Reaganomics and Arther Laffer couldn’t sell it up the ladder.

Laffer: Obama Must Use Reaganomics to Save Economy

Forward Article
The only way President Barack Obama can solve the nation’s economic woes is to adopt “common-sense” Reaganomics, the policy’s architect Arthur Laffer claims in an exclusive Newsmax interview.
Laffer said the White House called him in the spring and asked him to speak to Obama’s former Council of Economic Advisors’ chairman Austen Goolsbee – and he had told him exactly the same thing.
“Reaganomics would fix any economy that’s in the doldrums,” Laffer said. “It’s not a magic sauce, it’s common sense.
“You’ve got to get rid of all federal taxes in the extreme and replace them with a low-rate flat tax on business net sales, and on personal unadjusted gross income. That’s number one.
“Number two, you have to have spending restraint. Government spending causes unemployment, it does not cure unemployment.
“Number three, you need sound money. Ben Bernanke is running the least sound monetary policy I’ve ever heard of,” Laffer said.
“Number four you need regulations, but you don’t need those regulations to go beyond the purpose at hand and create collateral damage. The regulatory policies are really way off here.
“And lastly you need free trade,” Laffer said. “Foreigners produce some things better than we do and we produce some things better than foreigners. It would be foolish in the extreme if we didn’t sell them those things we produce better than they do in exchange for those things they produce better than we do.”
