   Read the actual “breaking news” article; how come post racial Fauxbama only hangs with black guys? Not just this trip, but fantasy basketball birthday, golf outings…it goes on. Can’t he even find a token white friend that’s not just a wallet for him?

   The collective world can, at last, stop holding it’s breath. The Obamas are “having a good time”.

   As long as this bho is not in dc and does not have his face and gosh horrible voice on the tube every day, I don’t care if the vacation is great or not! I fear after he gets back, look out, a full ‘I am gonna be in your face daily’! No telling what that bunch has been up to to crater our country more than ever.

   Sing along, now:

   Musical: Camelot
   Song: What Do the Simple Folk Do?
   

   GUENEVERE
   What do the simple folk do
   To help them escape when they’re blue?
   The shepherd who is ailing,
   The milkmaid who is glum;
   The cobbler who is wailing,
   From nailing his own thumb?
   When they’re beset and besieged
   The folk not noblessly obliged,
   However do they manage,
   To shed their weary lot?
   Oh, what do simple folk do we do not?

   ARTHUR
   I have been informed
   By those who know them well
   They find relief in quite a clever way;
   When they’re sorely pressed,
   They whistle for a spell –
   And whistling seems to brighten up their day.
   And that’s what simple folk do…
   So they say

   GUENEVERE
   They whistle?

   ARTHUR
   So they say.

   [they whistle for a while]

   GUENEVERE
   What else do the simple folk do
   To pluck up the heart and get through?
   The wee folk and the grown folk,
   Who wander to and fro;
   Have ways known to their own folk
   We throne folk just don’t know.
   When all the doldrums begin,
   What keeps each of them in his skin?
   What ancient native custom,
   Provides the needed glow?
   Oh, what do simple folk do?
   Do you know?

   ARTHUR
   Once, upon the road,
   I came upon a lad
   Singing in a voice three times his size;
   When I asked him why,
   He told me he was sad –
   And singing always made his spirits rise.
   And that’s what simple folk do…
   I surmise.

   GUENEVERE
   They sing?

   ARTHUR
   I surmise.

   BOTH
   Arise, my love, arise, my love;
   Apollo’s lighting the skies, my love.
   The meadows shine with columbine,
   And daffodils blossom away.
   Hear Venus call to one and all,
   And taste delight while you may;
   The world is bright and all is right,
   And life is merry and gay.

   GUENEVERE
   What else do the simple folk do?
   They must have a system or two.
   They obviously outshine us
   At turning tears to mirth;
   And tricks a royal highness,
   Is minus from birth.
   What, then, I wonder, do they
   Do to chase all the goblins away?
   They have some tribal sorcery,
   You haven’t mentioned yet;
   Oh, what do simple folk do to forget?

   ARTHUR
   Often, I am told, they dance a fiery dance;
   And whirl ’till they’re completely uncontrolled.
   Soon the mind is blank,
   And oh, they’re in a trance;
   A violent trance astounding to behold,
   And that’s what the simple folk do…
   So I’m told.

   GUENEVERE
   They dance?

   ARTHUR
   So I’m told.

   [they dance]

   GUENEVERE
   What else do the simple folk do,
   To help them escape when they’re blue?

   ARTHUR
   They sit around and wonder,
   What royal folk would do;
   And that’s what simple folk do.

   GUENEVERE
   (spoken)
   Oh, no, really?

   ARTHUR
   I have it on the best authority.

   BOTH
   (sung)
   Yes, that’s what simple folk do!

   bho has been on vacation since he got elected. This is nothing new, since he doesn’t have another higher level job to campaign for. He can’t lead, govern or problem solve so he might as well take a continuous victory lap in air force one.

   Thank you for keeping us up to date on this, I was beginning to wonder if there was really any important, relevant news today.

   The Obamas must be exhausted from their grueling work of the past 18 months saving our country from ruin.

   Wow!

   When someone as brain-dead liberal as Letterman and his writers get the fact that the chances of Obrainless being elected to a second term are slim to none, you know it’s not going well. And he didn’t say that with too much sarcasm either. He sounded like he meant it! I guess all that Hope and Change(tm) just isn’t working as well as the loonies had hoped.

   And that spills over into the mid-term elections, too.

   Wow!

    It occurs to me that the reason they have so many vacations is, when on vacation, they don’t have to follow Michelle’s strict diet guidelines.

    Lobster tempura instead of deep-fried fish. Uh-huh.

    Island corn succotash instead of corn on the cob. Yep.

    All very healthful: fat and cholesterol free! How special.

    What this shows is what lemmings libs are. If their hero Letterman makes fun of the Prez, and even infers that he will be, and should be a one term president, then voila, these zombies cheer in agreement!!! I guarantee that if Davey said that he was sure that Obamarx would be and deserved to be a 2 term prez they would have cheered that too. Frocking unbelievable and scary to think what brain dead parrots liberals are.

    More vacations in a year than me and my three closest friends combined in the last five. Ok Barry, you win; you really do know vacation. But don’t get the wrong idea, I’m not complaining – feel free to just dawdle in the game room or by the pool for as long as you like. A couple more years should do it.

    “We’re buying shrimp, guys. Come-on”. “Can I please eat my waffle?” Sorry, Mr. President…we shouldn’t be bothering you so much. It’s not like you are destroying this incredible, free, Judeo/Christian nation with your marxism. Maybe we would like some answers from you, but after all, you are entitled to your 6th vacation of the year and you are entitled to be left alone to enjoy yourself. You need to rest up for the next assault on liberty.

    Am I the only one who remembers the stink, fuss, and outrage the Liberals/Dems/Progressives and other assorted hypocrites and miscreants threw over President Bush’s vacations? Remember how they were all complaining that he took too many, that how dare he when there are “soldiers dying in Iraq/Afghanistan”, how Cindy “Is My 15 Minutes Up Yet” Sheehan camped out in the place she truly belongs…the gutter outside Pres. Bush’s ranch, raising the ruckus she did, complaining of, amongst other lies and distortions, the Pres. being on vacation etc.?

    Remember all the “How could he”‘s and “What has he done to deserve a vacation” etc.?

    Boy…nothing like healthy, enormous, stinky doses of hypocrisy to make you become even more disgusted with this regime and those misguided, deaf, dumb, blind, uninformed, delusional people who not only still support and apologize/make excuses for and believe in this President, huh?

    Hey…anyone else having Lobster Tepura tonight? Bet that would be much tastier than the generic mac and cheese over here.

    “We’re buying shrimp, guys. Come on.”

    In fairness to the poor guy, it IS a great line…and one that has gotten me out of quite a few jams:

    Annoying Question: Hey, should we go beat up that skinny kid from NY and steal his lunch money?!
    Snappy Answer: Hey, I’m buying shrimp guys. Come on.

    Annoying Question: Are you sleeping with my wife?!
    Snappy Answer: Hey, I’m buying shrimp, guy. Come on.

    Annoying Question: I know what you’re thinking — “Did he fire six shots or only five?” Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I’ve kinda lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: “Do I feel lucky?” Well, do ya, punk?!

    This POS POTUS is the worst thing that has ever happened to this country, and that includes Woodrow Wilson and FDR!! He has been on one huge vacation since the day he took office. Parties, vacations, exotic trips, romantic celebrations with his wife using AF One as his personal taxi. He is living high and mighty with MY.MONEY! I don’t think I have ever been so disgusted or despised anyone so much. He is stealing from the American People and laughing in our faces. I will live to see him and all his corrupt Chicago cronies rot in jail…that is a solemn vow.

    I look at the huff and puff site and whenever anyone talks about BHO being on vacation they always post about Bush vacationing. I know he spent pretty much all of the time when Congress was not in session at his ranch in Crawford, but I remember him working there. He hosted summits, did state of the unions, etc. I know BHO did a state of the union from Mass, so I do not want to be a hypocrite, but I don’t think Bush’s state of the union cost me 50,000 dollars that is paying for the rent of BHO’s palatial mansion. I also know that Bush reduced his time on the green when criticism came his way. I just don’t see how lefties equate this. I guess I will never be able to understand the liberal mind.

    Anyone else see the difference between President Bush vacationing at his ranch in the open plains of Texas, where he stayed in his own house that didn’t require the shutting down of freeways and such, where he ate at home, worked the back 40 breaking a real sweat clearing brush and such vs. all the fancy and exotic places Barack Barry Hussein Soetero Obama, Michelle Marie Antoinette Obama, their children and their unwanted dog have vacationed at? How many planes did President Bush take to get his family and dogs to where he was going vs. the three planes; his, hers, and the special one for the unwanted dog that apparently is not allowed to fly with them? How many times did President Bush take Air Force One, all the Secret Service personnel, the advance team, press corp, limos, all associated vehicles, local police, etc. out on a date with Laura Bush…his truly devoted and beautiful wife just to make a show for the press to prove to people that they actually are a couple? Why wasn’t Michelle Marie Antoinette Obama allowed to travel to the Muslim countries with her husband?

    You see Liberals/Progressives/Democrats/and other assorted hypocrites and ne’er-do-wells…you can keep giong on and on with your Kindergarten playground argument of, ‘Well bush did it”, sounding like Butters Stauch repeating “Simpsons did it, Simpsons did it” till you are blue in the face…but the simple fact of the matter is, these are different times, when the economy of the entire planet is about to collapse in no small part due to Barack Barry Hussein Soetero Obama’s policies and proceedures, when people are losing their homes, jobs, families, and everything they ever held dear, where the “American Dream” is becoming nothing more than one more thing banned from being taught in Politically Correct schools, and this “First Family” is carrying on like they are Royal from 18th Century France…like the worst Euro-Trash from a bad Hollywood farce. For you to continue to apologize for and make excuses for and lame comparisons to these out-of-touch, dishonest, nuveu-riche idiots, when it is OUR MONEY that they are spending…WHEN WE CAN’T…then you deserve everything they have done, are doing and will do, and have lost any ability to complain about it later as you are standing in a bread line or toilet paper line for hours the way they did in Moscow under the last Socialist Regime that toppled a nation’s economy.

    Um, no, actually, one thing about which we can be absolutely certain is while waiting in line they’ll be quietly muttering to themselves, “Bush did it… Bush did it!”

    Progressives don’t learn from real world events and consequences. Only books. From the approved list.

    We have a century of blood and pain that proves it.
