Has the White House Gone Tone Deaf?
By Alex Wagner - Politics DailyOn Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs wondered aloud (and in print) whether members of the "professional left" -- critical of the Obama administration for not having done enough to advance their agenda -- might perhaps be dipping into a stash of ganja, or happy pills, or both. "I mean, it's crazy," Gibbs said. "Those people ought to be drug tested." Those kooky outraged liberal naysayers, according to Gibbs, would only be satisfied with Dennis Kucinich installed as commander in chief and Canadian-style (shhh, that's code for "socialist") health care. Personal *relaxation* ...
What If Chelsea Clinton's Wedding Isn't in Rhinebeck?
By Mara Gay - AOL News(July 16) -- If Chelsea Clinton is getting married in Rhinebeck, N.Y., in two weeks, few people in the Hudson River town seem to know much about it. So says The Wall Street Journal, which reports today that some residents think the daughter of the former president might be saying "I do" to Marc Mezvinsky somewhere else. Evan Agostini, AP Chelsea Clinton became engaged to longtime love Marc Mezvinsky last year. The mayor told the Journal he hasn't been contacted by the Clinton camp or its wedding planners for any July 31 event. The owner of the inn where guests were thought to be staying ...
First Family Likely Heading to Martha's Vineyard Again for Vacation
By Lynn Sweet - Politics DailyIn the wake of the BP oil spill, both President Obama and First Lady Michelle have made separate trips to Florida to encourage tourists to visit -- with Mrs. Obama delivering a speech Tuesday on a still pristine beach. For their own vacations, the First Family is heading to Maine this weekend and likely will return to Martha's Vineyard for an extended stay in August. The Obamas arrived Friday at Mount Desert Island, home of Acadia National Park, with the family flying to the Bar Harbor Airport. They return to Washington on Sunday. White House press secretary Robert Gibbs was asked at ...
Martha's Vineyard Report: Barack Obama Superjock
By Walter Shapiro - Politics DailyMARTHA'S VINEYARD, Mass. -- Barack and Michelle Obama will lose almost a day of their island vacation when they fly to Boston late Friday night for Ted Kennedy's funeral mass on Saturday. Their daughters, Malia and Sasha, will remain behind on Martha's Vineyard, said White House Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton in his Thursday afternoon briefing. Unless tropical storm Danny -- southeast of the North Carolina coast as of Thursday -- interferes, the Obamas will briefly return to the Vineyard after the funeral before flying back to Washington as a family Sunday. ...
Health Care Reform Opponents' Ads Target Obama's Vineyard Vacation
By Ria Misra - Politics DailyThe movement against health care reform has identified a new enemy -- Martha's Vineyard. ABC News reports that a new series of ads by Conservatives for Patients Rights is set to launch next week, criticizing President Obama's family vacation to the Massachusetts island while reform is on the table. "The beach is nice this time of year," the ad states, before going on to suggest that the result of the Democratic plan will be a ballooning deficit and a tax hike on everything from income to soda. The ad closes by saying that, on his return from vacation, Obama should drop the public-option from ...
Of Lassitude and Lobster Rolls: Obama Heads for Vineyard Vacation
By Walter Shapiro - Politics DailyMARTHA'S VINEYARD, Mass. -- The weather-beaten, hand-painted sign nailed to a tree on State Road in Vineyard Haven is about the last tangible memento on this island harking back to Bill Clinton's time of troubles. For me, it remains a living symbol of the Monica-mad summer of 1998. The lettering on the lobster-trap-sized placard is faded, but the defiant take-that-Ken-Starr message remains unequivocal: "HOORAH FOR BILL." ...
First Family Heading to Yellowstone, Grand Canyon
By Lynn Sweet - Politics DailyThe First Family is taking a vacation before their vacation.
