obama on vacation
Keep it big: According to aides, Obama returned from Hawaii resolved to put even more emphasis on an earlier theme: This is a turning-point election. [1]
Michelle Obama on the middle-class squeeze: ‘We spend between the two kids, on extracurriculars outside the classroom, we’re spending about $10,000 a year on piano and dance and sports supplements. [2]
That means those who are still unable to afford to take a vacation, won’t, and for others the savings may be $60 or $90 or more. [3]
December 22, 2008 - President elect Barack Obama has started his “working” vacation in Hawaii, by “working” out with his wife and playing a round of golf. [4]
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama has criticized John McCain and Hillary Clinton for their support of a summer break from the 18.4 cent per gallon gas tax as a way to provide a bit of relief for Americans so they can enjoy their summer more and, hopefully, perhaps stimulate the economy a bit, as well. [3]
First, Obama didn’t choose Hawaii for its beautiful beaches.

… Obama is staying in a rental property for the next week–which will probably prove less expensive than investing, like McCain, in a 6.6-acre, $1.1 million weekend getaway ranch in Sedona, Ariz. [5]
Before he left for vacation, he was hitting McCain on energy policy and, more pointedly, suggesting that McCain was trying to use his race against him. [...] Perhaps he watched Jack Cafferty while on vacation, because that’s not the way the senator usually speaks, and you won’t find that kind of language on his Web site. [1]
Marc Ambinder, an Atlantic associate editor, blogs about politics and Washington. [...] Obama attended Punahou School, a coeducational college preparatory day school, from 1971 to 1979. [6]
Sure, rub it in that Obama must vacation in the American Virgin Islands instead of Pipestem State Park here in West ‘By God’ Virginia. [2]
