Obama Family Biking, Hiking, Sightseeing at Maine's Acadia National Park

I keep reading posts about vacations. Since when is going away for a weekend, when working people are normally off of work anyway, a vacation?

Nice Picture!

Good for the President. All Presidents take vacations. Its necessary for them to be fresh and shake off the burn out of such a demanding 24/7 pressure cooker job. What's the issue, the Gulf Oil Crisis is out of his hands at this point...congress is still deadlocked on unemployment..what's gonna be affected by him spending a couple of days with his family? Thank you for Mr. President for trying to turn around all of these messes and for trying to advance the country inspite of such overwhelming opposition...and I wish you luck on the many issues that will still be waiting for you when you return home.

Our President has a tough job, that he's not complaining about. The First Lady is doing a great job! Let them ENJOY their time away from Washington, DC with their Daughters. Everyone deserves time away. There are others hired, and being paid well, to hold down the fort. Give it a rest, now!

Passing pork filled Bill , and bad for America Bills , plus the Government take over of health care , as well as blaming the Republicans , Bush , and real patriotic Americans to distract from all of this immoral corruption....takes a lot out of you ...or something.

We can all learn a bit of Human Kindness, Decency, and class from the Obamas. They're the MOST WELL EDUCATED PRESIDENT AND FIRST LADY, EVER IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY, AND THAT IS A FACT!!! HE HAD 647 JOB OFFERS, UPON GRADUATION FROM HARVARD - 647 JOB OFFERS! AND HE TOOK THIS ONE! GREAT GUY!!!

Gosh, I would like to take a vacation, but I don't have a job and thus no money.
Wish Obama would be more focused on the worries of the country he is Prez instead of photo-opts of him vacation. I'm sure the Gulf people would love to see the vacation pics.

Who started the war, who lost the jobs, who squandered our tax dollars, who put us where we are?



Who stepped in to end the war, who is trying to get the jobs back, who is giving tax credits and trying to stimulate the economy, who spilled the oil, who is supposed to fix the oil problem, how is the President supposed to stop this oil, when experts can't? Why should he spend his vacation money for something he didn't do? He let the oil spill go on. So, you're saying he could have dove 1 mile down and plug this thing himself? Okay, you win.

What't he done in less then two years to deserve a vacation? I'll tell you nothing! Were still at war
People are still out of work, where are the jobs he created?
People are still on unemployment
People are still loosing on medical, thanks to the new bill, no choice
the man let the oil spill go on, and on, until he got flak from his own party. Obama Katrina. He should go and put the vacation money in the gulf.

Obama wants us to see the play by play, or he wouldn't take a camera crew along. Who the heck goes to the mountains in a white dress shirt and slacks? I'll tell you a man who knows he's picture is being taken that who.
