White House: Vacationing Obama working on economy
Yahoo ^ | 8/22/11 | Alister Bull - Reuters


VINEYARD HAVEN, Massachusetts (Reuters) - President Barack Obama has taken heat for taking a vacation when the U.S. economy is struggling, but aides are striving to make clear he is not neglecting the country's finances during his break.

On Monday, Obama met with a top economic adviser and spoke to investor Warren Buffett and Ford Motor Co. chief executive Alan Mulally about the economy, White House spokesman Josh Earnest said.

Earnest also announced that Obama will travel to Detroit in two weeks to discuss the economy on the U.S. Labor Day holiday on September 5, setting up a major address on jobs he is to deliver later in the month.

The date of that address has not been set.

Obama will spend part of the day with workers and then make remarks to the Metro Detroit Central Labor Council, Earnest said.

With Buffett, the chief executive of Berkshire Hathaway, Obama discussed the overall U.S. economic outlook and "reaction to the headwinds we've experienced over the last couple of months," Earnest told reporters in Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, where Obama is staying with his family.

...

Some critics from the rival Republican party had questioned whether it was appropriate for Obama to take his annual break given the country's economic problems, including an unemployment rate stuck above 9 percent and weak growth in the first half of 2011.

TRYING TO JUMP-START THE ECONOMY

Although his schedule includes family outings, golf games and receptions, Obama is expected to spend much of his nine days on the resort island working on a program meant to jump-start the economy and find budget savings that surpass the $1.5 trillion goal of a new congressional deficit-cutting committee.

Barack Obama: He's come undone



The wheels are off the Obama bus. It's up on the cinder blocks on some rental property in Martha's Vineyard this weekend. It is the end of the summer of discontent for a president who's clearly in over his head and whose wallowing is most unbecoming.


Mr. Obama's economic policy prescriptions, textbook Keynesian mumbo jumbo, have failed. History would have been instructive had only he been learned in the discipline. Obviously, he's not. Next month, he'll return with yet another chapter of the novella best titled "Hocus Pocus."


Policy failures aside, we can only wonder if America also should be worried about the mental state of this president. Just prior to his Midwestern bus tour, at a private New York fundraiser, Obama's reported to have likened opposition to his presidency to the persecution of Martin Luther King. Then, on tour, his maudliness plunged deeper as he compared his plight to the sufferings of Abraham Lincoln.


As Gettysburg College history professor Allen C. Guelzo reminded in National Review Online, Mr. Lincoln rose to the challenge and exhibited greatness in his leadership. But, "In our current national agony ... we have come to see a littleness, not a greatness, in Barack Obama. And it is not for him that we feel sorry, but for ourselves."


For it is a tragedy of our own making.

[NBC] Comcast's Roberts hosts President Obama on Martha's Vineyard
Philadelphia Inquirer ^ | August 24, 2011 | By Bob Fernandez



In a convoy of black SUVs, the vacationing President Obama went out of his way Sunday to stop by the house of a friend on Martha's Vineyard.

The Obama reception seems the freshest example of a higher profile that Roberts, head of the nation's largest cable/media company, has assumed since Comcast closed its deal for NBC Universal Inc. earlier this year.

Obama and close aide Valerie Jarrett were hosted by Roberts at [his] multimillion-dollar North Shore mansion. Neither the White House nor Comcast would say how many people attended the reception.

Comcast, a company with legislative and regulatory issues teed up in Washington, also seems to be tightening its relations with the Obama administration.

Roberts has joined the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness, serving with Facebook executive Sheryl Sandberg, Time Warner CEO Richard Parsons, AFL-CIO president Richard Trumka, and others.

Comcast also is heavily promoting a $9.99-a-month discount Internet service for low-income families that it promised as part of its deal for NBCU. Cohen and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, a former Obama chief of staff, held a news conference in Chicago announcing the service in late May.

Michelle Obama shows up her husband in tiny purple bike shorts as the President lags behind in jeansMr Obama's approval rating today hit record low of minus 26

First family enjoyed cycle ride during vacation on Martha's Vineyard

By John Stevens

Last updated at 8:18 AM on 24th August 2011

Michelle Obama showed off her enviably toned thighs as she powered past the President in tiny purple cycling shorts on the first family's bike ride on Martha's Vineyard today.

Wearing a fashionable printed T-shirt and Converse trainers, the First Lady showed that she still has style, even when on vacation.

But her husband looked goofy and tired as he lagged behind wearing a baggy black polo shirt, and perhaps more surprisingly jeans.

Ahead of the pack: First Lady Michelle Obama was wearing a tight pair of purple cycling shorts

Ready for action: Mrs Obama looked more prepared for the ride than her tired looking husband

In the Massachussetts sunshine, the Commander-in-Chief looked uncomfortable in the heavy denim trousers.

Mr Obama had rolled up the bottom of the jeans, in perhaps an attempt to avoid them getting stuck in the bicycle chain, or maybe because he was feeling the heat.

The President seemed to have his clothing hoping for a more lesiurely paced cycle than his wife.

The ride came as Mr Obama's approval rating reached a record low of minus 26.

The poll for Tuesday showed that 19 per cent of the nation's voters strongly approve of his performance,
compared to 45 per cent who strongly disapprove.

 Trip: The first family were riding in Manuel F Correllus State Forest in West Tisbury, Massachusetts
 Fashionable: Mrs Obama wears a T-shirt printed with a trompe l'oeil necklace
 
Not hot Mr President? Mr Obama's choice of jeans for the ride on such a sunny day may have been surprising

 Mr President? A bike rider smiles as he passes Barack Obama and his daughter Malia

 Path: Barack Obama and daughter Malia ride past a fellow cyclist during their family vacation

This previous low was minus 24, which was reached yesterday and also in September 2010.

Super-fit Mrs Obama revealed her smooth thighs on the ride this morning, showing the results of her gruelling exercise regime.

She wore a white T-shirt with a print of a trompe l'oeil necklace.

Mr Obama ignored a reporter's shouted question on the whereabouts of Libyan dictator Moammar Gaddafi as he cycled through Manuel F Correllus State Forest.

Aides said Mr Obama got national security and economic briefings before setting out under bright, sunny skies to hit the bike trail for a quick spin.
 
Safety first: Mr Obama was wearing a cycle helmet, unlike on his vacation two years ago

Vacation: First Lady Michelle Obama and her daughter Sasha ride bikes during their family vacation to Martha's Vineyard

Cycle: Barack Obama rides alongside his daughter Malia during their family vacation

 Vacation: The President wore a black polo shirt and matching black helmet

The President arrived last Thursday for a 10-day break from Washington that has been interrupted by developments in Libya. He is scheduled to return to the White House on Saturday.

The 5,100-acre forest has become a favourite for the first family who also went cycling there during their previous two summers on the island off the Massachusetts coast.

The President, who was wearing a cycle helmet, appeared to have learnt his lesson from his bike ride there two years ago when he sparked complaints from bike-safety advocates after he was photographed without a helmet.

Obama Hobnobs With Friends on Vineyard Family Vacation
By DEVIN DWYER (@devindwyer)
Aug. 24, 2011



President Obama has spent part of his family vacation on Martha's Vineyard away from his wife and daughters, schmoozing with friends on the golf course and at their private oceanfront homes.

His island entourage includes a mix of familiar faces and longtime confidantes, many of whom have ties to his native Chicago, and some deep-pocket donors eager to help him win another term.

Obama has ventured to the golf course three of the six days he's been on the Vineyard, playing with White House trip director Marvin Nicholson, aide Michael Brush, attorney and Washington insider Vernon Jordan and family friend Dr. Eric Whitaker.

Whitaker, a physician and executive at the University of Chicago Medical Center, is considered one of Obama's closest friends. He regularly plays golf with the president at a course in Washington.

The presidential foursome on Saturday also included UBS Americas CEO Robert Wolf, a member of the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness and a major campaign donor. Wolf gave the maximum legal contribution to Obama in 2008 and again for 2012, Federal Election Commission records show.

Off the course, Obama has spent time rubbing elbows with some of his most elite supporters, attending what the White House has described as two "informal receptions" hosted by his friends.


 On Saturday, Obama visited the home of Harvard University law professor Charles Ogletree, who taught both the President and First Lady in law school and regularly summers on the island, according to local press reports.

Ogletree one day earlier co-hosted a Democratic fundraiser – billed as "Voices for Obama" – at Union Chapel in Oak Bluffs, where Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz gave the keynote address.

Then on Sunday, Obama traveled to the West Tisbury mansion of Comcast CEO Brian and Aileen Roberts, where he spent more than an hour mingling at an intimate gathering.

Roberts, who oversees the nation's largest video and internet company, serves on the President's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness. While FEC records indicate Roberts has not yet contributed to the president's reelection campaign, one of his Comcast colleagues – executive vice president David Cohen – is a top Obama fundraiser, bundling more than $500,000 for the 2012 campaign so far this year.

Cohen and his wife Rhonda also attended the Roberts reception, according to local media reports. The White House would not confirm the names of attendees, saying the event was private.

The president was not joined by the first lady or his daughters at either event.

The White House has dismissed the suggestion that the receptions involved fundraising.

"I can state for you unequivocally that the events that the President attended over the last couple of evenings were purely social occasions," White House deputy press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters Monday.

Officials also note that Obama has been spending a "decent amount of time" fulfilling his responsibilities as president even though he is out of Washington.

He has received regular briefings on the situation in Libya, the east coast earthquake and preparations for Hurricane Irene, aides said, and he has placed several calls to business leaders and members of his economic team as he prepares a new jobs plan for early September.

"There have been some things that have intervened" in the president's vacation, Earnest told reporters Wednesday. "But I also -- it's fair to say that he's gotten an opportunity to spend some time with his daughters before they have to go back to school. And I -- that's something that he's enjoyed quite a bit."

do you like your life?

What life?  You  mean being forced to live in the spare bedroom in a shitty neighborhood because mommy won't move somewhere else?  Or being scared to leave the house because the "animals" that are all over the neighborhood would be lining up to jack the little whinesack of his lunch money?  Substituting the internet 24/7 for interaction with reality?  Being busted over and over again as the biggest liar on the board?  Lacking real life credibility and e-life dignity?  Having your most treasured possession to be your hard drive that is full of photoshopped Obama pictures?

What kind of "life" is that?
