Gotta work on that tan…
Personally, I don't think Obama spends enough time on vacation.
Hope AF1 brought that blue bike along.
Clearly has his foot planted on the pulse of the country. Maybe it's a sign of solidarity . . . "if 20% of the American workforce is out of work, I stand with you by not working!"
The remainder of 2011 is looking up!
Ron Paul was on Jay Leno last night.

Talk about a friendly crowd. I almost think RP could steal California from Obama in the general election.
Moochelle went on ahead of him- at the cost of an annual salary that would have made half the unemployed people proud. These White House squatters have no scrupples.
If memory serves, the toddler called for government workers to cut back on driving and travel to reduce air pollution. Yet, Moochelle departed today for Hawaii with her entourage on one gigantic CO2 polluter at a cost to taxpayers of approximately $185,000 dollars per flight hour. The brat will later follow in his own gigantic carbon footprint. This jaunt will double the cost for us little people who have to stay at home for the holidays due to the economy and unemployment and who will wind up footing the bill.
If he would stay there and resign, I would call it money well spent. However, no such luck. He will return to to reak hacoc and unrest on the American citizenry until he is booted out in 2012.
Demolishing the republic is taxing work, pun intended.
He now heads for sun and surf, basking in the knowledge he permitted some of our most sensitive military technology to fall into the hands of our enemies, the Iranians, rejecting options to safely destroy the downed stealth drone in the desert by air strike. China will probably dissect it. Instead, Obama chose to ask nicely for the Iranians to return it. Not surprisingly, they declined.
Wish he had been on vacation or golfing when that decision was made.
I am surprised Obummer doesn't take more vacations. I am sure the pressure on him is immense.
I wonder what brand he is smoking now?
That's because Paul is as liberal as they come!! He is about as conservative as Biden!!
He and his wife are disgusting indeed!! They flaunt it in our face, about jetting off to Hawaii, while real Americans are struggling to make it through, to the end of the month!! And he's spending the money, that he is STEALING from our pockets!!!
That picture is so typical. This guy is always in costume. And every costume is as ridiculous as Dukakis in a tank, but nobody dares tell him.
That's not as bad a that silly bicycle picture with all the sissy gear. Next to Reagan riding his horse at full gallop with nothing but jeans, a polo shirt and boots.
Kinda wish he'd spend the next year on vacation. Till Jan 20, 2013.
He's not doing any thing?
Yaaaaay!
Yeah, he wants to legalize drugs! Those potheads would vote for the Devil if it meant legal drugs.
I have to agree, I complain because he's always on vacation, but hey, it s like Congress being out of town, my billfold seems heavier already.
While he may be on vacation for 17 days he is going to need it.His ass kicking starts when he returns 2012 the fight for freedom, seriously begins.
Finally he's in a venue he has experience in
American Economy in the tank – Check.
Top Secret Steath Drone given to Iran – Check
GOP eating thier own – Check
MSM selecting GOP front runner – Check
It's Miller time!!!
'Nuff said!
Does he ever go to his home in Chicago?
And his prayer mat…
Come on! Give a Brotha a break!
Destroying America is hard work, and you know he can't work hard on the Holidays!!!!
You are just being racist!
'Nuff said
And the The Revolutionary Communist Party's Little Yellow Book.
Wow! Talk about out of touch!
Why does he alway vacation in "Asia"? Wouldn't it be more appropriate for him to spend his vacations in one of the 57 states?
I'd love to have Ron Paul as president, because soon, I'll have The Bomb AND I'LL RULE THE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Don't blame Dennis for this mess!
I can't think of anything more conservative than strict interpretation of the Constitution, but what would a RINO like you know about conservatism anyways?
The toddler told government employees to cut back on vehicle usage to reduce pollution. Yet, here his wife and her entourage fly off to Hawaii in one gigantic CO2 producing Sasquatch, and her hubby will follow in another big carbon footprint monster in a few days. Besides the CO2 being left in the atmosphere, each flight of those big birds cost about $185,000 per flight hour. Seems some folks just consider themselves more special than others. It's that do as I say not as I do thingy, Go figure.
Naw. It's to dangerous. Lots of elitist, progressive socialists live there.
He already said Hawaii is part of Asia, so let's let China annex Hawaii in exchange for clearing our debt from their books, and while Zero is away, we close our country so he can't get back in and impeach the creep for his numerous and repeated blatant acts of treason and get him out of office. Just a suggestion.
In other news, Conservative Bloggers are like the Rodney Dangerfields of the right – "No respect, no respect at all".
Conservative Bloggers – the Chopped Liver of the Right
And the Mom jeans…
Dpn't forget the crash helmet.
Nothing bad can happen in the next seventeen days? Is he bringing the rest of his Chicago Mob with him? And how about the rest of the Democrats and RINO's still left in DC? I will not rest easy until all those Communists are out of DC.
Annnnd they're off……………
"……I almost think RP could steal California from Obama……"
A "win" in California means a LOSS for America.
Sure hope ya wake up there Tyrant, before,……..
you do something foolish like start an RP third party.
"At least we know that nothing really bad can happen over the next 17 days…"
Sure…and I'm Tsar of all the Russias…
Øbammy can take it easy…destroying the Freedom and Liberty of the citizens of the United States hasn't been as hard as he thought…a little here, a little there, some executive orders, and then he can cruise for awhile…
I don't give a rats a$$ who the Republican nominee is…even Huntsman, Paul or Johnson would be a tremendous improvement over this weasel…
Make sure on your conservative Congressional votes this time around, people…whoever ends up with the Presidency, they're gonna need a Conservative Constitutionalist House and Senate to keep them out of trouble…
Wouldn't it be a shame if whichever Hawaiian island they're on tipped over… like Guam was in danger of doing?;-D
.
A black man going on vacation to a very cold place in the winter,…..??????
Good to see you here, CL…!
Rumors abounded you were banned…
No way… too many died on December 7th, 1941 to give it to China…
They want it, come and try to take it…
"…fly off to Hawaii in one gigantic CO2 producing Sasquatch…"
Moochelle have the three-bean salad again…?
"…one gigantic CO2 producing Sasquatch…"
Meuchelle have the three-bean salad again…?
(Take THAT, site amins…!)
Good point. It would still be nice if we could keep zero from coming back though!
Only if the word "State" was followed next by the word "Prison"…
Maybe its time for sitting Presidents to have Dennis Miller follow them around and make commentary while they're on vacations…
That's the exact same helmet people wear on the "short bus".
Islamic…puppet of the Bilderberg..Obama the Bush doing what he does best…NOTHING!
IMPEACHMENT, THE 'ORIGINAL' KENYAN BIRTH CERTIFICATE OR THE USE OF A FAKE SS#…IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME AND NOW IS THE TIME!
STATES PRESSING THE BIRTH ISSUE FOR 2012 AND BEYOND; GOD BLESS THEM!

Any Christian should realize that it is a religious impossibility for Iran to nuke Israel or wipe it off the map.
Yea, inject mysticism i.e. irrationality into a logical argument…that's always good.
Next year it will be bon voyage vacation!
He actually has yet to work a single day.
Obamacare – written by Congress
Budget proposal – $3.5 Trillion – no way in HELL he wrote that either (he most likely has never even written a household budget).
Put America to work bill – Not written by him either (listen to him speak without a teleprompter and know that he cannot write either).
A permanent vacation would be beneficial to the Country. Especially if he takes all of his Communist cronies with him.
Depends on where he can get some crack.
Do you have to pass a drug test to be President? Just wondering.
Mooch and the girls left last night on a separate plane. It would have killed her to stay in the White House until this morning? Just like algore, the spiritual leader of the Chicken Little Cult; Do as I say…
Maui Wowie, unfiltered.
I'd like to see him on his next vacation wearing an Orange Jump Suit For life !!!!!!!!
No. That wouldn't cost the taxpayers enough. Flight to CHI from DC is 2 hrs. Flight from DC to HI is 8 hrs, x4 since the FLOTUS always goes separately (to AND from).
I mean, if you're trying to bankrupt the US, which would YOU do?
He's only half black. The Communist blood in him is from Russia, so he can take it.
Real criminals rarely return to the scene of the crime.
"At least we know that nothing really bad can happen over the next 17 days."
Sure it can. Remember his 2008 Hawaiian vacation?
I would love to be a Democrat president. I could use the sleep.
Don't hurry back!
See my negative number? Keep telling these RINOs the truth and you'll end up with one too.
Ron Paul 2012
This is the singularly most ridiculous statement I have ever read in my life.
Wait, what's that?
He hasn't ruled out a third party run?
But all the Ronulans told me on the other thread that nobody has even mentioned it except me or something.
Go for another tax paid expense vacation. After January 20 ,2013 you can vacation all you want and return to community organizing.
I all this guy did was vacation, did nothing and spent no more of our money I'd be all for that.
You manage to get both of Obama's gaffes from the last 6 years into one post… well done.
It's really not going to matter who is the eventual Republican Nominee. The president would like to have Romney, I prefer Newt. The rest are too stupid even for conservative Republican. Huntsman is so liberal that even I wouldn't mind if he were to become president. But that will never happen, so…
Four more years.
Not if you plan on selecting someone from this Republican clown show. Better find someone to step up at the convention or you have already lost.
Through the magic of technology it doesn't matter much where an American president sleeps at night. It will be business as usual with a couple of photo ops on the beach.
He could travel the U.S. on the intercontinental railroad. Or visit Austria, where they speak Austrian.
A president whose approval rating drops at record speed doesn't stand a very good chance.
I think the silliest Presidential photo was that one of Coolidge signing a check for some charity while looking at the camera, but then he had several like that..
I think you meant last six weeks, but as a lib/dim/troll I would expect the concept of time to mean very little. Unless he's going to be meeting with Corpse men while he's there or maybe he's going to see if Hawaii is going to be building an intercontinental railroad………… I could go on all night if you like. Playing whack a troll is so easy. Like Fish in a barrel baby.
Nothing better then a little time on the beach relaxing and reading your favorite book; Rules for Radicals, or maybe it's a self help book authored by Josef Stalin and Mao Tse Tung.
He surely can't be trusted with a checkbook, and ATM card, or a credit card.
Hopefully he has no cell phone coverage
Obama, the new bubbleboy
I'd like to see him borrow some of Lady Gaga's outfits, it would be a perfect fit.
Then he should be vacationing in Cuba.
The Obamas could care less what people of the country think of them. They're giving us the biggest middle finger they can muster and will keep it up until we can get rid of them.
Maybe a volcano will swallow him.
Federal Reserve Note, Series 2009. Just wait until the Uuuhhhbama hyperinflation sets in: We'll be heating our homes with bundles of the things because they'll be worth less than their equivalent weight in firewood.
Thank you for bestowing yet another of your brilliant insights on the hoi polloi, Captain Obvious.
Now that was funny. -Right after he jumps off of that gigantic CO2 producing Sasquatch…no, wait – Rick was talking about the plane. Nevermind.
Attention fellow Breitbarters:
Please be aware that the image of Obama saluting at the 2:08 mark of this campaign video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mBGZiKi9yQ (if you can stand to watch it for that long) was taken AND is being shown AGAINST THE WISHES of the bereaved families who gathered together in August 2011 for the Dignified Transfer Ceremony at Dover Air Force Base to honor their fallen loved ones.
Obama disregarded their request that no images be released.
More ignominiously, Obama used their CASKETS as PROPS…to be later cropped-out!
Please read “White House photo sparks protest – Yahoo! News” if you need to verify the above. http://news.yahoo.com/white-house-photo-sparks-pr...
From the number of posts generated by this "controvery" it appears this is not obvious to tea baggers at all.
Pay attention.
