PRESIDENT SPENDING TWO-AND-A-HALF WEEKS AT A $13 MILLION MANSION …
|| By FITSNEWS || U.S. president Barack Obama will take a two-and-a-half week break from his ongoing efforts to lead America “forward.”
Or whatever his 2012 reelection slogan was … (more black-on-black crime?)
Anyway, Obama and his family will travel to a secluded 8,100-square-foot mansion in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts. The $13 million estate (above) features nine bedrooms, seven bathrooms, an infinity pool and hot tub, a dual tennis court/ basketball court and an indoor gym.
It rents for $50,000 a week … which is roughly what the average American makes in a year.
Of course Obama won’t be spending all of his time inside the mansion – which is owned by the widow of a former General Electric executive – or enjoying the scenic views of the Vineyard Sound it affords.
“The president can be expected to spend plenty of hours working on his golf game,” ABC News reported.
Must. Be. Nice …
We don’t begrudge Obama for taking a week off … well, two-and-a-half weeks off. We begrudge him when he’s on the job.
From a recent post …
… Obama has taken George W. Bush’s failed (and hypocritical) big government approach to everything and put it on steroids – with predictable results.
Whereas Bush was a “default setting” statist, Obama has aggressively expanded statism in America – and done so at an incalculable cost to our liberty, our prosperity and our constitutional form of government.
Whereas Bush was blindly “going along to get along” with the Washington establishment … Obama is dangerously and deliberately expanding it, using it as a weapon to attack everything which once made America great.
In other words enjoy your vacation, dude. Don’t be in a hurry to come back …
Obama departed for Martha’s Vineyard hours after a report revealed 93.8 million working age Americans were not participating in the labor pool … and one day after the Atlanta Federal Reserve’s initial current GDP estimate for the third quarter clocked in at an anemic one percent growth rate.
In fact buried within a recent White House mid-year economic forecast (.pdf here), Obama’s administration acknowledged it does not expect the economy to grow above a three percent rate for the next ten years.
Not good …

It is a dilemma, we are screwed either way. If he does not does not come back, Biden is in charge…..think about that one for a while.
For those of you out there that think I assume a President can’t cast his mischief from a remote location, you are wrong… we are never relieved from the torment of being under his spell as long as he holds the office..
“. . . . think about that one for a while. ”
I’d like to think that I could come to this forum once in awhile and not have to be exposed to your stupidity
The same dream we all have about you. You’re nothing but a liberal Grand Tango, être allé
LOL I’m your worst nightmare – keep dreaming! And of course the irony being that you and yours all agree with every point that Grand Tango makes – he is one of yours – he is YOU!
That would be like me wearing my 5 karat diamond earrings and matching 10 karat necklace to help out at the local food shelter. Pure Classless.
Yeah, and don’t wear your earrings and necklace to downtown Columbia.
That’s Pure Carelessness, if you know what I mean.
Well, I kinda just made it up. I don’t really own such jewels.
You don’t need them, you are just fine without any jewels.
You would probably hock them for beer money.
Ernie, you do know me well!
You can’t drink the jewels.
And can’t wear the beer cans.
beer cans make fine ear rings.
“beer cans make fine ear rings.”
Even full ones.
“beer cans make fine ear rings.”
And a full beer can upside-the-head makes fine ears ring
“. . . . if you know what I mean.”
Yes I certainly know what you mean as I’ve read all of your comments on here – especially all of the ones the weeks after nine black folks were slaughtered in Charleston.
That must make GWB’s 800+ days of Vaction time during his ‘presidency’ a total tragedy.
I thought he just drew with crayons while Dick Cheney ran the evil empire for him.
Yep, while US servicemen are killed for WMD’s.
Oh, but the C IA (GWB’s Father used to RUN!) fibbed to GWB about those (uhhh yeah – REALLY?!) Je b shouldn’t be able to Run – it would be Cheney’s 3rd term!
Obama is an American hating muslim that smells like a skunk. Ask Michelle.
Actually, He is Baptist!
President Obama is an American and Baptist! Don’t be a moroon now!
Moochelle and her mother take that much each year.
Must be pathetic to be an old white redneck loser huh, squishy?
First Ladies work for our Country Full – time, for Free! Mrs. Obama is no different than the others in that way! Like most others of either party she is also bright and classy! The Only diff I see is she has a warmer more fun personality than many! She rocks!
Bush generally went home to his ranch at minimal cost to you or to Camp David, again at minimal cost to you. He also had many world leaders to both places while he was there. Obama generally chills when he’s on vacay, seldom doing anything but plaything golf and looking like a dork riding a bike or trying to show that he’s a real man by shooting a shotgun. Obama can’t go “home” because Chicago isn’t his real home and it’s too damn dangerous..
100+
100-
Now shifty let’s not insult My President! I know you all do not like him but he’s almost gone – give him a break please!
Not my ?Resident. Isn’t that what y’all used to say about GWB?
Not me. show me a post.
Don’t think I heard that. Do youmea n the National G uard said he wasn
Yeah, I know, Dan Rather has all those records.
Oh Good, Nobody Else Does!
…. a piss-ant not decaying quickly enough
I’m disappointed in you shifty – but I still like you!
You forgot the cock-a-roach traits.
Hmmm, will a cock-a-roach devour a piss-ant?
They usually dine together, devouring common sense and logic.
good one …..
President Obama IS the Best President the USA has had!
And Yes, I have the Facts to back that up! Y’all don’t have to like him. ?
There I fix’d it.
No need to thank me.
? ? I won’t! ?
Yep, same with Reagan and Bush I. Hell can’t he go to his Grandma’s old place in Hawaii?
Couldn’t even do that, the place he rented went for something like $30,000 but that doesn’t begin to account for the security, communication and admin costs that have to be regenerated every time he vacated. Bush has it all set up in Crawford one time and he used it for eight years, like his dad did in Kennebunkport. Clinton pulled the same crap ass his double wide in Arkansas had long since been towed off.
Chicago isn’t Jesse Jackson’s home town, either.
President Bush didn’t play golf during his tenure because he felt it was wrong to do so while our troops were in harms way. Remember ??? Real class shows through.
You MUST be joking! Pres GWB couldn’t get his @ss to Washington to HELP his fellow Ame ricans during KATRINA – AND he had sent the Louisiana Natl Gu ard to Iraq – They belong Stateside -Shameful! Class has No
I wished that the shotgun event was a video because it looked like that lightweight (physical and leadership wise) was on his way the the ground.
I’m a FITASC and Sporting Clays referee, if the president was shooting at anything other than a stationary target when that photo was taken I’ll wear a dress and change my name to Kaitlyn: http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2013/02/02/white-house-releases-photo-of-obama-shooting-shotgun/
We (the people) needed those breaks, too!
That would be like going into a homeless shelter and “cleaning” already washed dishes for a cheesy campaign photo. You remember Paul Ryan, don’t you?
” Pure Classless.”
Uh-huh. Says the one just overflowing with class.
…or retiring to clear brush on your ranch after receiving a report titled “bin Laden determined to strike within the United States.”
“. . . ….or retiring to clear brush on your ranch after receiving a report titled “bin Laden determined to strike within the United States.”
Shhh. We don’t like to talk about THAT.
Because youre President of the United States?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCm9788Tb5g
Glad for him. We can ALL use the break!
I was hoping when he returned home to Kenya, he’d stay forever and be their King. He thinks he is King of USA!
Yawn
SooRiduculious!
I hope that widow counted the towels.
and the silver.
Oh and I’ll bet the Obama’s would love to get their hands on your cheap stainless too Mom – why don’t you stick it all somewhere safe (Hint: where the sun don’t shine).
Glad you’re not my Mom and I pity your kids if you have any – I’m praying that you do not.
You’re overly sensitive. Lighten up – maybe you just need a Bloody Mary this morning. Oh and let me call you Sweetheart. Bless your heart! I love to yank your chains.
Stick that stainless somewhere – hurry! Oh you done good – enema upvoted you LOL
I hear your mom used to steal sporks from Kentucky Fried Chicken.
LOL She probably did – especially since they give them away. But since she has been dead many, many years I have not seen any increase in sporks.
Clarification…my mom was a man.
(See, that’s Funny!)
Love my crack pipe! Am I funny?
(You’re funny to me and others!)
Ma’am, I think you’ve had enough morning bloody marys ……, just sayin!
“I hope that widow counted the towels”
Oh I’m sure you’d burn yours if a black person used them, huh? And what a Christian comment to make – and you being such a “Big Christian” I’m certainly not surprised that you’d make it. Maybe you ought to do a little more reading and practicing as opposed to just thumping
Only a racist would interpret my comment as racist.
It was meant as a harmless joke. Perhaps bad, but harmless.
Liberals always talk about racist “dog whistles”, but they are the only ones that seem to hear them. They are guilty racist. Racism is so ingrained in there thinking that all someone has to do is mention crime, wellfare, or unwed pregnancy and you scream racism when those issues effect all Americans.
You are the racist, because your sick mind associated stealing towels with blacks.
I was actually thinking the same comment would apply if it were the Reids (Harry), the Pelosi’s, The Boehner’s, the Bush’s, the Clinton’s, or any of a host of other famies who have grown fat by sucking the life’s blood out of this country.
Oh – you know exactly what you meant – but do try and back-pedal now when confronted. I stand by my comment – and look at the ones who upvoted you! Read and practice – it is always the ones thumping it that need it the most. I’m praying for you – doubt it’ll do much good though.
Only I know what I was thinking when I made that comment, not you or any upvoters. I can’t see the upvoters on my phone. But you made clear by your comment that YOU associate towel theft with blacks.
You posted it. How many other Presidents of our country have you posted comments about stealing towels? Please try and be honest. And read the follow up comments to your post – especially the ones by Mom and Squishy.
In fairness I am a transvestite black she/male and offended by your comment.
Keep your racist comments at least to yourself.
I’m sure you would’ve made a similar joke if Romney were visiting? You have black friends?
Nah, you’re a smart ass, nice try.
Nonsense. The differences East to West in this country are almost as fascinating as North to South! I would love to be able to say there are not more white bi gots than any other, but I won’t lie! The southeastern white folk have it by a landslide!
I hear the stink rubs off. Rumors have it they may have to burn the White House down after they’ve been in there for 8 years. Don’t be surprised if it goes under an extensive renovation.
You know this sleazy SOB is just counting the days until he can start raking in cash with his Library and Foundation like Bubba taught him. Then maybe he won’t be renting anymore. The only thing I’m not sure of is if he will try to run the UN after 2016. Everyone speculated Bill would because of his ego but I think he realized the value of being a celebrity without the responsibilities of a real day job.
Maybe he’ll give the veterans a discount, like GWB.
New legs are subject to a company owned by haliburtion. Good luck.
I had a vacation this summer. Took the family to NYC and Canada. Visited friends in the northeast. Saw how poorly Chris Christie runs his state. I think Obama deserves his vacation as well. If you don’t like it – suck ice cubes.
I heard this is a very safe year to swim in the Atlantic Ocean. Yep, no sharks to worry about.
Ain’t no shark gonna mess with President Obama!
Probably because it’d be like biting into a 160 pound turd.
HaHaHa you so funny squishy – are you on welfare?
Ever stop to wonder if Squishy is GrandTango’s neighbor? Maybe not next door neighbor, but you know, in the same trailer park?
look at all that room for neighborhood engineering.
Good one!
Fits has you dimwits dancing on a string – he plays you over and over and over every day with his “news” articles slanted to toss you a few tidbits of red meat – and of course you slurp it right up.
I’m surprised you would be against neighborhood engineering in Martha’s Vineyard.
The old, “everywhere else, not in my neighborhood” liberal, progressive mantra.
“I’m surprised you would be against neighborhood engineering in Martha’s Vineyard.”
Slurp! Slurp! Slurp! LOL
“Slurp! Slurp! Slurp! LOL”…come on you can do better than that.
LOL But you know you slurp it up – FITS plays you bozo’s like a fiddle. Oh – and you know you’re doing well when enema upvotes you!
And you don’t slurp it up, you’re often here. I guess FITS knows that bozos come in all sizes, shapes and even the color Blue.
I see your troll is back, too bad he’s just a so so troll other wise it would be flattering.
“BTW I know I’m really doing well when you reply.”
I reply to you because I love you – really!
So now you are insulting my troll too, huh? LOLI see your troll is back, too bad he’s just a so so troll other wise it would be flattering.”
So now you are insulting my troll too, huh? LOL
We have to lap up this stuff, Fox News has brainwashed us into not trusting anything that sounds remotely different.
I would love to slurp you. Drinking all day and ready. I would eat a fetus.
We worked really hard to re-segregate ourselves, we don’t need no damned colored boy undoing our work!
Your logic is faulty. At this point in his Presidency Bush had taken over twice as many vacation days as Obama has taken, and he was still able to start two disastrous wars and a mini-depression.
But Bush was white.
And he bombed brown people.
I love these threads!
People just can’t hold their anger!
How dare that president take a vacation!
It’s not like other presidents did!
Don’t you folks have better things to worry about?
Hold the haterade and give me some Brawndo, it’s got electrolytes.
(Psssst! This President is BLACK. Read their comments over and over and over on these threads. This is The Republican Ghetto of SC – Grits for Brains.)
I’m so glad that the people’s Chairman finally gets a break. He works hard and deserves one. Plus, some middle easterners will be very glad that there’s a let up in drone strikes.
It’s worth the yearly sweat of a laborer to put our leader in the right frame of mind.
“Must. Be. Nice …”
didn’t you just get back from a 2 week vacation?
White folk are allowed vacations. Its these damn niggers that don’t know their place.
Must you use racist terms?
Liberals have to keep racism alive. They’d lose half their appeal if racism died.
GWB takes tons of vacation time and these guys don’t even bat an eye.
The kenyan does not care about US. he didn’t care about the Americans who died in Bengazi, nor the American Citizens killed/beheaded by his Muslim brothers, nor the American Citizens murdered by his illegal and illegally released Aliens. O does not care about the Americans held in captivity in Iran, nor the debt future Americans will inherit from his Social spending, or the BABIES murdered by his Planned Parenthood contributors and supporters. Obama does not give a damn about the threat to the future security of this Country and it’s people due to his failed and feckless iran deal and his abysmal Foreign policies!
The Communist, Muslim Kenyan only cares about his Muslim, Communist, Criminal friends, associates and his Communist and Socialist Nations!
Abject failure does not even begin to describe this man.
O has led America straight down the Marxist hole of lies and deceit, he’s given us no HOPE and CHANGE that our grandchildren will pay for. Avoid future Marxist democrats.
I’m fine with it, if he’s paying the rental costs… but suspect this is just another taxpayer funded vacation for him and his extended family.
“I’m fine with it . . .”
Oh good then . . . . as if anyone gives a fuck what you think.
You must, since you bothered to read it and respond.
LOL Of course I read your every post squishy – for enlightenment.
Ooops – almost forgot – I heard there is a big sheet sale going on at Macy’s this weekend – you could replenish your Fall wardrobe.
Also.I read everything. Just bought some fetus parts from Planned Parenthood and had dinner and you can’t do a damn thing about it!
Proof of how the Arab nations feel about Obama.

Willie, you’re sic! Your post is crazy as you’ve lost your memory of the GWB and his preposterous number of vacation days. You must really be slim on things to post or you just needed to throw some red meat to your flock
“just needed to throw some red meat to your flock”
BINGO!
I wonder if the entire Syrian Christian village that ISIS just massacred & took sex slaves from will be able to enjoy a relaxing vacation this summer. Probably not huh Obama?
Obama’s looking more like a libertarian all the time.
If you have any doubts about who is running or ruining the Country watch and listen to Rep. Hank Johnson

All of the video is worth popcorn and peanuts but the best of the best is around the 1:22 mark if you want to fast forward
What has a republican in the last 8 years to help Americans ?
Here’s the Democrat Party yacht That Obama will be taking out for a sail while he is on vacation.
I wish he and Biden both would take a vacation until the upcoming election is over.
Big mistake by Red State to pull this on Trump. Republicans are finished in 2016 for POTUS.
Kelly is a liar (Google ex) and social liberal. She fed Trump that ‘war on women’ attack on the orders from GOP donors and Ailes.
Third party for Trump and the Republicans deserve it. Obama compared the Iran protesters to the Republicans and not ONE word. Trump says Kelly is basically a bitch on her period and all hell breaks loose.
Boycott Megan Kelly. She is working with ex Obama political hac Bill Burton to destroy the Republican Party.
“Republicans are finished in 2016 for POTUS.”
THERE IS HOPE FOR AMERICA! WOOOOOO!
Third party my friend. We need to cut the pubs off.
Obama has been on a lot of vacations. Has he vacationed in all 57 states?
Material exist of Barack Obama secret extra martial affair is being suppressed to
conceal he once held a private orgy. It gets worse the event was accident
captured with a hidden video camera. Voices only but the media that been
released is narrated by a child. youtu.be/mNzJxYTjNf0
The child calls Obama by name 3 times, but that portion is on the full 90 minute recording. Watch the live video of what occurred when this media was about to be discovered by the court youtu.be/ZelTfO106U4
Discover Barack Obama skeleton’s and more @rogerdgriffin on Twitter
Will takes a break from “writing” his blog.
I heard Michelle O called Barak O while in Kenya:
M O, “Had to call and check on you. The news is reporting someone shot and killed a lying Kenyan”!
B O, “No, no M, a Lion was shot and killed in Kenya, you misunderstood”.
The yacht Obama will be using on his vacation.
He hasn’t “led” this country in 7 years. Why would he start now? Thankfully his reign of error will be over soon and he can go and give empty, lie-filled, telemprompter based speeches to brainless idiots who eat that shit up where he can cause no further damage.
Since terrorist attack’s of 9/11 Homeland Security encourage American’s “if you see something you know shouldn’t be there—or someone’s behavior that doesn’t seem quite right—say something” Barack Obama’s 8 month secret affair with my spouse (at that time) damn near drove me crazy! An unfaithful spouse is bad enough, the crap they sent me through was overwhelming stupid. Forth time I was literally assaulted by his thug’s (Cops), if the last wasn’t captured on the my building surveillance camera they would have gotten away with it. youtu.be/ZelTfO106U4 altogether six assaults by cops four documented, two not and hundreds of threats not to appear in court. WTF I thought my spouse had sex with someone in the Mafia. You People have a serious problem on you’re hands I don’t care if no one listening to me or believes me. I have to share this with everyone. If you don’t care for the Obama is running this country retrieve Inventory File: 11626101
Pkg174413 marked “confidential material” at the Chicago Police Dept. The material within 1 audio Cd mostly narrated by my 5 year old he mentions Obama’s name 3 time during an adult orgy. I’m only one man and I survived death 3 times to share this, so if you’re not going to retrieve the file before Obama can destroyed it. #RIP
