Hey, Isn't Chicago Supposed To be Obama's 'Home' ???

Where Would You Rather Go For Your Christmas Vacation..... This , Or THAT???


     This is never a topic that we understood.  Why? Because we're poor, and where do poor people go for Christmas? Straight to the living room, around the tree.  Actually, we don't even have a tree - just presents and and empty stocking, but we know Santa will come through for us...


    The rich and powerful have options.  They go on vacation for Christmas, which to us is the most effed up tradition ever.  I spent New Years Eve in Florida once... Once.  It was 70 degrees, which is not what the holidays are to us.  Barack Obama likes to get away from DC, like everyone else.  You'd think him, Michelle and the girls would celebrate 'back home' in Chicago, gathered around a warm fire, having snowball fights and enjoying the season.  Uhh, nope.


    Yeah, Obama is taking 17 days off for Christmas, which is by our calculations the same number of days off we've gotten since 2001.  Rather than go into the old argument about taking so long off when America is going down the shitter, we're going to focus on WHERE the Obama's go now...


    You have to feel for the city of Chicago lately.  Back in 2008, Obama touted himself as a Son of the Windy City.  Why not?  It's where he served as a state and US Senator. They met there, and raised the kids there.  Plus, there is a certain amount of toughness that comes with living in Chicago.  It definitely helped Obama's image in the election.  Would Obama be President if he were Hawaii's Senator?  Doubt it....


   So, it surprises us to see Obama almost abandon his Land of Lincoln trademark whenever he bolts DC.  The campaign may be based out of Chicago, but Obama definitely is not.  As soon as Washington closes up, Barack is headed for the sun and sand of Hawaii - his actual home state.  And what about his Summer vaca's?  He's gone to Martha's Vineyard the past 2 years.  It's not a coincidence - the Obama's are avoiding Chicago's freezing winters and stagnant summers like the plague.  Maybe if they put a Target store near their house....


    We're not sure exactly WHY they no longer go home.  Maybe they like living like gypsies, with no real home.  When you know eventually you'll be leaving the White House, you know it's not home.  They do have a place in Chicago, but there is about as much security there as the Clark Street garage on Valentine's Day, 1929.  So, maybe you CAN'T go home again... Our guess is they're done with Illinois. It served it's purpose, and afterwards, they'll all go back to the Aloha State in a nice private compound.  Don't take it personally, Chicago.... It's just business.
