I’ve attached an excerpt from an article I’ve read recently. I have sounded off on this recently on different blogs- but is it me or is any one else furious over Obama’s 7.6 million dollar vacation! He’s by far the biggest hypocrite I know. Didn’t he just win an election by condemning the 1 Percenters and blaming them for America’s problems. Didn’t he admonish Governor Romney for being rich and owning nice things? Yet he and his family are going on a lavish vacation on America’s doll. Think of what that money could have got the US citizens. The first thing is that they could have opened the White House for tours once again. Secondly, that sum of money could have bought a significant amount of people without healthcare medical coverage. And the list goes on.
Where’s the media outrage? Imagine President Bush doing such a thing. The media would cry foul and he’d be crucified on the TVs, papers and radio. Yet, Obama does it and the media looks the other way. In fact, they act as if he deserves the trip and cheer him on this whole taxpayer funded getaway. This is a real slap in the face to us Americans. He preaches to us that we should tighter our belts and live more frugally. Yet, he does the exact opposite and nobody is calling him out on it.
Well, I am calling you out Obama. You are a failed leader, a divider of the country, a destroyer of the American way of life and the biggest hypocrite. You will go down as the worst president we ever had.

Washington Examiner:
The Massachusetts island of Martha’s Vineyard, the exclusive playground for presidents and their families, is about to get its annual summer infusion of cash and attention as President Obama and his family prepare to arrive August 10 for an eight-day vacation.
Local reports indicate that the first family will likely be staying at a $7.6 million resort home on southern edge of the island in the town of Chilmark where homes feature water access to Chilmark Pond, tennis courts and swimming pools.
Staying at the home of Chicago corporate finance manager David Schulte is a break from past Obama vacations because the $21 million home they’ve rented, Blue Heron Farm, isn’t available. Schulte’s summer home sits on nine and a half acres, has ocean views and a basketball court.
While the president typically keeps to himself and carries with him only a handful of staffers to Martha’s Vineyard, security will be tight. As in the past, the Wesley Hotel in Oak Bluffs will house security and communications officials. The owner told the Vineyard Gazette that the Secret Service has booked 70 rooms and another five have been reserved for the Transportation Security Agency. Rates at the hotel run from $225-$345.
Also, telephone and communications lines are being installed on the island for the president’s use.
