The Obama's Skip Maaahtha's Vinyaaahhd This Year..

Thank God, We Won't Be Spending $600 a Night to Have Our Vacation Ruined With Secret Service Blocking Off Everything !!

      Call it an Election Year Optic decision.... As we know, the Obama's like to take vacations.  Whereas the Bushes always went back to Crawford or Kennebunkport, the Obamas - aka, The First Family without a home - usually went globetrotting or to Hawaii, where at least they know people.  During Summer, Martha's Vineyard seemed to be their home away from home.  Not this year....


      Actually, there are a couple reasons why.  Mainly, the Blue Heron House, where they spent the past three Summers, was recently sold - and the new owners have no intention of playing host to the First Family at a joint they paid millions and millions for...  But also, summering on Martha's Vineyard is not exactly a way to look 'everyman' to voters.  Even Mitt Romney is staying away from two of his four houses until Election Day....



     This comes as good news for regulars and residents of the island.  It's all of four or five miles long, so when the Obamas came to town - along with the Secret Service blocking off everything and anything near them - it was like you were paying for being imprisoned for three weeks.  While merchants were happy with the extra attention - namely reporters and gawkers coming on the ferry - most people were not happy with having them there every Summer.  The point of being in the Hamptons or Martha's Vineyard is to relax and see nobody.  Now they have that again...


     So, the big question is where will they go now?   Our guess was just mentioned.... We can't picture a better way to spend an election summer than a three week, non-stop fundraiser at P. Diddy's joint in the Hamptons!!  Hey Michelle...... pass the Ciroc and the Courvoisier !!!!
