Another Posh Vacay..The Obamas To Spend A Week At Martha's Vineyard

 

Yes, the Obamas have scheduled yet another lavish, taxpayer funded vacation for themselves...this time, it's a week at Martha's Vineyard:

C’est la Vie, is designing a new t-shirt to mark the president’s return. Sharky’s Cantina is preparing to roll out its “Obamarita” once again, enticing customers with a margarita made with mandarin oranges, pineapple juice, and tequila (they also have Barack-o-taco, and Barack-guac).

“We’re just pandering,” concedes owner JB Blau.

One mystery is where the Obamas will stay. The 28.5-acre estate they have rented in the past, called Blue Heron Farm, was sold in December 2011 to a European couple and it is apparently unavailable to the Obamas to rent.

The White House won’t say where he plans to stay, and neither will his friends.

“I’ll just say he won’t be as far away as he has been in the past, and I’m grateful for that,” said Charles Ogletree, a Vineyard regular and Obama’s former Harvard Law School professor.

On the island, rumors have been rampant that Obama has been eyeing property in Farm Neck. But others have said that area, where the lots are smaller and less secluded, is unlikely.

Regardless, Obama will be there during a busy time on the island.

The Martha’s Vineyard Livestock Show and Fair, which Obama’s daughters have attended in the past, is Aug. 15-18. The Grand Illumination, an annual outdoor festival in Oak Bluffs, is slated for Aug. 14, and the Oak Bluffs annual fireworks show is scheduled for Aug. 16.

“That third week of August is really the highest of high season,” said Sean Federowicz, a real estate agent.

Harry Belafonte will be performing at an invitation only event at Dreamland theater on Aug 12, an event that’s being organized by Charles Ogletree, Obama’s former professor at Harvard Law School.


Isn;t that just precious? Oh the jolly frolics of our ruling class! Honestly, we're just not worthy.
