WH petition demands Obama cancel Hawaii vacation

WH petition demands Obama cancel Hawaii vacation. …and instead devote the estimated $4 million bill (to the public, not himself) to victims of Hurricane Sandy. Hey, can some hack newspaper columnists write about this? No, they’re too busy writing about how private citizens chose to spend their time and money.

  • How dare anyone ask der leader to postpone the golfing and vacation for the girls in order to deal with the mess that he has created? From all indications, Camp David is an excellent place to vacation and is less than an hour chopper ride back to DC. A true leader would stay and be ready and willing to work on this before putting himself first. Yet we dont have a true leader, we have a phony and a communist that wishes to screw those who work while rewarding the loafers, thugs and goons.

  • The lemmings that re-elected their big government savior could care less what he does, as long as they think they will get their share of the loot he promised to take from the rich.

  • No way Obama is going to cancel his Hawaiian Christmas vacation. Hey, he earned it, he was reelected by a grateful American people after saving America...at least, that's what he thinks. Besides he's lazy with a feeling of limitless entitlement and a contempt for the American taxpayer whose duty is to support him in the lifestyle to which he's accustomed.

  • 300 million people could sign that petition and "Dear Leader" would still fly off to Hawaii. He cares not for the masses, only his rich Hollywood donors.

  • This is a good idea and petition but it overlooks the democrat standard operating procedure of spend money because there is a never-ending supply of and you can always get more taxpayer money.

    • Well, like the kids downtown say, "True dat!"

      Folks can choose not to believe this if they wish but it's true: a few years back when I discovered this site and began commenting on posts, within days, while using my cell phone, I experienced a strange clicking noise. My cell guy couldn't explain it and neither could anyone else that I asked. It occurred to me that it might be the fine folks at the NSA so one day during a call with clicks in the background I finally and loudly proclaimed something to the effect, "If you're looking for someone who's a threat to the government you're barking up the wrong tree. Scrutinize my life and you'll not find anything subversive. Now, leave me alone!"

      The clicking stopped, if not that day, like, that week and I've never heard the clicking noise since.

      A little paranoid? Perhaps, but given what we know has taken place in the realm of domestic surveillance since 9/11/2001, and is currently happening, it's wrong to call anyone paranoid. They should be considered wise.
