My main source of information comes from the internet, so I have to be careful when I read some of the headlines. Especially when it comes to Obama.

President Barack Obama and family hike, swim and eat ice cream on vacation, GOP not pleased

One ice cream store even created flavor especially for the president's visit - The Commander in Chief Chip - a red, white, and blue ice cream with chocolate chips.

Really? Republicans aren't pleased with ice cream? Damn, those folks are cold hearted.

Pertaining to where you get your news from, this is either Obamas 7th or 8th vacation. To be honest, I don't care, I encourage it.  Hell, I would even volunteer to help him pack!

Why? To put it simply, Barrack Obama does less damage to the country, the more time he's away from the White House.

What I do care about is the hypocrisy.



Hmm, why didn't the Obamas go to one of the Gulf states for vacation?  Ah well, some people have come to expect the "Do as I say, not as I do" from the first family.

Isn't ice cream "junk food"? If I touch a nerve with the following, I don't care. The kids? Gasp! They ate ice cream too? I shouldn't feed my kids junk food, while the Obamas children get to eat ice cream? I wonder how Michelle Obama is going to get those excess calories off those, already self conscious, girls.

Oh, I love the ice cream shop's sign.

"Kill 'Nilla Wafers"?

Really? The dog flew in a separate plane?

White House wanderers tour Acadia

Arriving in a small jet before the Obamas was the first dog, Bo, a Portuguese water dog given as a present by the late U.S. Sen Ted Kennedy, D-Mass.; and the president's personal aide Reggie Love, who chatted with Baldacci.

 Oh, ok. The president's personal aide was on the plane too. That makes sense, if there wasn't enough room on the first G3 Gulfstream.

GIII Gulfstream fact:

Seating: 12 to 15

For a dog, Bo has a huge carbon paw, er, footprint.

Since I'm talking about Bo, I'm beginning to think the dog is nothing more than a political backdrop instead of a "family member".


Well, I hope you folks enjoyed your weekend, I know the Obama's did alot of "sacrificing" to enjoy theirs.
