Obama Extends Hawaiian Vacation Another Day
By not in system - AOL NewsHONOLULU -- President Barack Obama is extending his Hawaiian vacation by another day. The White House says Obama will now depart Hawaii late in the evening on Jan. 3, arriving in Washington the following day. The Obamas have already pushed back their departure once, changing their return from Jan. 1 to Jan. 2 after the president delayed his arrival in Hawaii to stay in Washington while Congress wrapped up the legislative year. Obama spokesman Bill Burton says the president is trying to squeeze in more time with his family before returning to the nation's capital. The delayed departure means ...
Obama's Family Starts Hawaii Vacation Without Him

Opinion: A Welcome End to the Summer of Hate
By Barry Weintraub - AOL News(Aug. 30) -- As summer vacation comes to a close let me see if I can help you catch up on some of the news you might have missed in the dog days of August. For starters, if you have been lucky enough to tune it all out, you need to know Americans are barking -- loudly -- at each other. Mosque or no mosque? That is the question as a Brooklyn-born developer who already owns the old Burlington Coat Factory, two and a half blocks north of the former World Trade Center site, says he wants to convert it into a community center with a swimming pool, gymnasium, meeting rooms and yes, prayer space for ...
Obama 'Having a Great Time' on Vacation; Twitter Not So Pleased
By Steven Hoffer - AOL News(Aug. 25) -- How is President Barack Obama enjoying the rainy weather during his vacation at Martha's Vineyard this week? "I'm having a great time," he told reporters on Tuesday night, according to ABC News senior White House correspondent Jake Tapper. A day later, the quote became a lightning rod for conservatives and Obama critics around the Web. Someone over at The Drudge Report featured it prominently on the site's infamously low-budget home page, and a deluge of angry tweets soon followed. That kind of adverse reaction, in and of itself, is hardly surprising. As a recent New York ...
Obama Gets Bad News on Unemployment, Urges Passage of Jobs Bill
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyBefore heading off for a New England vacation Thursday, President Obama called on Senate Republicans to stop blocking a jobs bill meant to help small businesses by providing tax breaks and loans through local banks. In brief remarks to reporters outside the White House, the president said a "partisan minority" in the Senate is standing in the way of legislation that promises $30 billion in loans to Main Street businesses. Republicans have denounced the plan as a mini-bailout. But Obama said their refusal to permit the bill to even advance to a final vote is an "obstruction that defies common ...
Michelle Obama's Trip to Spain Draws Fire
By not in system - AOL News(Aug. 6) -- Michelle Obama's trip to Spain -- complete with shots of the first lady touring town in a swoon-worthy Jean Paul Gaultier top -- is not playing too well in the media. Though the first lady, her daughter and the first lady's friends assembled for the vacation are traveling as "private citizens," as Press Secretary Gibbs has emphasized, and paying their own expenses, a few columnists aren't wild about the optics during tense economic times. 'Modern-Day Marie Antoinette': Andrea Tantaros at New York Daily News is the first to make the call. The problem for her, though, is not so ...
Obama Family to Lead by Example, Will Vacation on Gulf Coast in August
By David Knowles - AOL News(July 22) -- Over the weekend of Aug. 14, President Brack Obama and his family will vacation in a symbolic spot: Florida's Gulf Coast. Obama has frequently encouraged Americans to head to Gulf Coast beaches that have remained open during the BP oil spill, the Associated Press reported. Now, it appears he will be leading by example. The vacation will be the fifth time that the president has visited the region since the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig exploded and oil began spewing into the Gulf of Mexico. As yet, there are no details on where in Florida the first family will stay. By the ...
