President Obama will embark on a 15-day vacation next month, even as the nation and the world are engulfed in crises from the border with Mexico to the Middle East.
The Obamas will depart Washington on Saturday, August 9th and head for Martha’s Vineyard, staying in a $12 million vacation home until Sunday, August 24th, reports the Martha’s Vineyard Times.
The president will return to the town Chilmark, the site of last year’s Obama sojourn, where he will rest up “in a secluded house off North Road that overlooks the north shore and Vineyard Sound,” the Times reported.
According the the newspaper:
The seven-bedroom, nine-bath, 8,100-square-foot house, sits on a 10-acre lot and is assessed at more than $12 million. It features 17 rooms in total, expansive water views of Vineyard Sound, an infinity pool and hot tub, and a dual tennis-basketball court.
The president’s extended vacation on The Vineyard comes after a 16-day stop in Hawaii over Christmas, adding up to a total of more than 31 days of vacation in less than a year, not counting weekend getaways.
UPDATE: David Martosko over at the Daily Mail discovered that the owner of the home backed Hillary over Obama in 2008.

But he is in close touch with his people, so he can act immediately in an emergency, right? (sarcasm).

It might be better for him to out of sight, he can’t screw that much up, which has been his modus operand the past few months. He seems learns everything from the newspaper & TV just like we do.

Let’s see…IF we bombed the $12 million dollar house and Destroyed the Muslim POS that would save us about $100 Million (conservatively) per year! Ithink it’s well worth Considering!
IT would save the USA lots of money and headaches IF we could maybe ARRANGE a small bombmg of the $!@ million house while he’s there! That would be quite a SAVINGS over paying for the rest of the “VACTIONS” he will most assuredly take over the balance of his term in office. Then too we’d save all the crap and money involved in trying to IMPEACH the Muslim POS! Please… I want NO credit for this MARVELOUD+S idea…just DO IT!
No way! I thought for sure he’d take his next vacation either in Texas or maybe floating down the Rio Grande…
A vacation that will coincide with the august recess of congress.
Every time Bush took his month long vacations you righties said “but he is still president and still working at being president”.
So on this vacation he will do no work at all? Because that is my definition of a vacation
this S O B cares nothing for this country–he is a hateful disgusting person
What an ass is our Father of Transparency.
What….another freakin taxpayers funded vacation ? This guy (and I use that term lightly) has been on vacation since he took office.The only work he’s done is to destroy the American way of life,the American dream and screw with the Constitution. He was never an American anyway.Just a muslim funded Infiltrator sent and trained to destroy the U.S. from within.
The straw that broke the camels back!This should finish him! but will it?
Can the house deny vacation by withholding funds?

Political Wrinkles
All President O/bama does is spend money,.JE OS A DP NOTHING PRESIDENT, NOT OPEN TO OPPOSITE PARTY. HE IS RAKING THE AMERICAN TAXPAYERS OVER THE COAL FOR HIS LAVISH LIFESTYLE.
CUT WHAT THE TAXPAYERS PAY AFTER THEY LEAVE THE OFFICE, IT IS ABSURD WHAT WE PAY FOR ALLL ELECTED OFFICIALS, CUT THE BUDGET HERE.
CUT PERKS FOR ELECTED OFFICIALS, ESPECIALLY MEDICAL INSURANCE, BETTER YET HAVE THEM GET THE SAME INSURANCE THAT THE PUBLIC HAS,SEE WHAT THEY THINK THEN
He has not considered how to CUT expenses JUST SPEND ON HIS FAMILY.ON EXPENSIVE TRIPS, THIS IS AMERICA AND WE ARE GOING BROKE
FIRST THING IS TO PUT UP A FENCE
NEXT CUR OFF ANY HELP WITH MEXICO FOR NOT STOPPING THIS INFLUX
he sent his daughter to china because she took A CPIRSE in cantanese. what did that cost us, THIS TRIP WAS NOT NECESARY, AND VERY COSTLY, WHEN IN A TIME IN AMERICA HE SAYS WE HAVE TO RAISE THE DEBT LIMIT, CUT HIS VACATIONS COST.
I WONDER WHAT IT HAS COST US FOR THEIR VACATIONS, TRIPS TO BE ON TV SHOWS.
THE TAXPAYERS ARE PAYING FOR THIS,’
‘HOW MANY TIMES DID HE VISIT HAWAII, BEFORE HE GOT IN THE WHITE HOUSE
WHAT HAS IT COST THE TAXPAYER FOR ALL HIS TRIPS, INCLUDING HIS FUNDRAISERS, THAT END UP BEING, MINI VACATIONS, FOR BOTH HE AND HIIS WIFE.

As I think he really enjoys all the outrage from he and Michelle’s constant
abuse of taxpayer money the more the merrier for them. And the more
we rail the more pleasure they get. Those are two twisted ‘sisters’ we’ve
got in the WH. I doubt there’s ever a bit of regret or remorse for those two it’s enjoyment sick and tired of it but we still have more to pay for sadly.
THE S.O.B HAS BEEN ON VACATION EVER SINCE HE’ BEEN IN OFFICE !!!!!!!!!!
Go back to the country where you came from and stay there forever. For the life of me I don’t understand how people think you’re doing a good job. The only people that likes you is a Democrat and they’re all crooks .
How many days did Mr. W. Bush take for vacations?
President W. Bush took 879 vacation days.
How did Bush prosecute 2 wars with 897 vacation days?
