Mr. President, Don't Even Think of Going on Vacation

With economic meltdowns impacting the market and Main Street, USA, B.O. and family should reconsider their plans to stay at elitist estate in uber exclusive Martha's Vineyard.

For the past two years Barrack Obama and family and entourage (security, support staff, etc...) have vacationed at Blue Heron Farm, a 28.5 acre estate in Chilmark, a villiage on Martha's Vineyard.  

This is not a weekend at say, Old Orchard Beach.  At the cost of $50,000 per week, this is another level of opulence.  

2011 had better be different for several reasons.  WIth the economic meltdown, disaster of the debt ceiling mess, and the death of 30 American servicemen in Afghanistan, the Lecturer-in-Chief needs to be uncharacteristically sensitive to the feelings of the nation and the displeasure of many Americans: Democrats, Independents and Republicans at his lack of leadership.

An analysis of the number of vacation days and taxpayer paid costs will be a future posting.
