President Barack Obama's much-buzzed-about vacation home in Martha's Vineyard has been carefully kept under wraps--until now.
For a week at the end of August, President Obama will be trading his usual White House for this one. Photo: Plum TV
Video from Plum TV shows the first images of the 28-acre Blue Heron Farm in Chilmark, where the first family will stay during the last week of August. The farm includes the main house, guest house, boat house, basketball court and putting green. The Obamas paid to rent the estate (at an estimated price of $35,000-$50,000) with
their own money. The home's owners, a Mississippi couple who
bought the property in 2005 for a staggering $20 million, are
McCain supporters. A group of White House advisers and a contingent from the Secret Service will round out the vacationers.

Wait a minute!! Aproximately 10 Million folks are unemployed, Butt-Rack is doling out We Da' LEGAL Tax Paying CITIZENS $$$$ out like welfare checks without ANY Accountability (is this what he means by TRANSPARENCY?) and NOW he is taking welfare trips also? LOL Lemming Cliff Jumpers That Voted For This Arse Clown!! Yet the Demo-QUACKS complained about Bubba-Ya staying AT HIS OWN RANCH?? Geez Welfare COUNTRY Here We Come!!
Replyi agree-------- the clown should stay home and work on his promises
Yup...you said it all....he who preaches and organizes free-loading off the hard working American taxpayer is setting a real good example...middle finger up to us and like his spiritual leader expounds "God d--- America..." Just look what he "inherited" Then look at what we "inherited" from this empty suit...
So let me see if I got this right? Bush never went to Camp David, never took a vacation, ended the war, and fixed the economy. YEAH RIGHT!
Now the courts are investigating whether obama under the name soetero took money fraudulently for school as a kenyan. There was enough evidence prsented that the court accepted the case. This will be very interesting and potentially embarrassing for our country. Idont know if this part is true but it has been said the info came from outside the country
You trailer park nuttin butt nasty clown, if you desire to go welfare, so long. Let the door knob hitcha where ???? Won't se ya later, enjoy the cheese and please don't squeeze.
You people blame everything that't wrong with this economy on the current President and Administration. This Country was chin deep in sh-- when this President and Administration took over. We didn't get this way overnight and we won't come out overnight. This current President is not the only President that has enjoyed luxury. Every President before him had these luxuries. So be it. He is very concerned about the well being of this country, USA, and he is attending to the betterment of the people of this beautiful God-fearing Nation. If you can't support him, or at least give some positive and feedback on how he can do better, SHUTUP!
Excellent put, wish I had said that.
First, what Obama meant by "TRANSPARENCY" means we won't see anything being done in the name of SOCIALISM. The Democrats are COMMUNISTS today, not the Dems of the past who may have been wrong, but at least were Americans.
ReplyNext, these are not Obama's homes as the story suggests.
Lastly, in the same vain that the loony left portrayed Bush, why is "The Bama" playing golf and going on vacation with us is two wars and the economy in shambles? Add to that mix the healthcare debocle and this joker is definately a one termer.
I hope the few remaining American Democrats who see what he is up to can stop the insanity.
Crazy repukes like the ones here should leave the country!!!lmao!!!
Amen to that, Glenda!
Here we go again - people with nothing to do, but spew hatred are commenting on a vacation a man is paying for himself. May I add he deserves to go on vacation with his family, if he so desires. George Bush vacationed more than he worked his JOB! He left Cheyney in charge and see where it got him with the Economy and two wars - oh let's not forget that Bush and Cheyney were the ones who got us into war! President Obama has more intelligence than Bush and he is trying to clean up what he was left behind. At least quixmar speaks with some degree of intelligence. What are you all doing to help in place of sitting here and commenting on AOL. Please try to form sentences and spell correctly before your comment. That's all folks!
ReplyDo you really believe he is paying for this himself? Like Pelosi and her trips!! No one knows the amount of tax dollars that are spent on the secret service? How are they traveling? Get a CLUE!! Lavish vacations, trips abroad, campaign trips, oh yes Mr. Obama is putting out the money all right!! While the American people are tightening their belts, congress spends lavishly!!
Palin got rid of the many lavish domestic government paid expenses, have any of you researched the monies paid for today's care of the first lady? She hold's the record!! It is not the color of Obama's skin, nor his religion, nor his political party, it's the man!! He is like an irresponsible child with a credit card with no limits!! He allows himself to be controlled by the members of the house, as he has not the intelligence to run a small business let alone this nation!!
its not hate. but when u see someone destroy your country with socialism, that destroyed every country that uses it, and u see him let bills go through that will hurt older people, and u see him give away social security to illegals, when other countries just shoot them, and when u see him want to release all the murderes from gitmo, and u see him spend money this country doesnt have, do u know how indebt to china we are, how long will that communist terror counry put up with that. and u see good people fall hook line and sinker for those phony speaches, like hitler did. check your history. it is very the same. then u see him go have fun, while u cant eat. well if he wants socialism, true socialism, that only works on PAPER, doesnt allow him to have one more cent or thing than you. look it up. its written in a book u know.
Thank you Jade it is wonderful to read an intelligent response!!!!
well said.Americans are very wierd and unfair
Obama, Pelosi, Reid, Biden all need to move their and get out of politics, they are so out of touch with America and their Arrogance is pissing people off!
Replythere is a perfect island retreat for the four of those politicals, it called GITMO
Figures he'd stay at a mcsame supporters home, why not arnt they ALL one and the same...Demoncrats, republicrats, whats the difference any more...Vote the bums out.
ReplyFor those that are saying that he is paying for this out of his own pocket - just where do you think that money is coming from. He is paying for it out of his salary, right. Yep, and who pays his salary - we - the AMERICA taxpayer. It is coming out of my pocket - and yours.
ReplySo President Obama had no money saved up before becoming President?????
