Obama loves cake.
Yes you read that headline correctly. Barack Obama is headed off to Hawaii for a 17 day long vacation...17 days. Apparently his 10 day swanky Martha's Vineyard vacation back in August just wasn't enough. No wonder Obama likes Europe so much, he acts just like them. This will be Obama's 10th vacation in three years as president.
While most Americans are lucky to get a few weeks of holiday every year, it seems the country’s leader gets a little more freedom in the matter.
President Barack Obama has announced his Christmas vacation to Hawaii – for a staggering 17-day trip.
Obama, who visited the island just two weeks ago for an economic summit, will head to Honolulu on Saturday December 17 until Monday January 2.
And the cost:
The President's family covers the cost of a private beach front residence in Kailua, Oahu, for their vacation - a ‘Winter White House’ that costs up to $3,500 a day, or $75,000 a month.
But the local and federal taxpayers help pay the bill for travel and security.
Last year the trip cost more than $1 million,according to the Hawaii Reporter.
Say it with me: Out. of. touch.

The Daily Show reports on Occupy Wall St.
So they hate the banks, but they hold their meetings in a bank's lobby and I am supposed to take them seriously? When even the Daily Show points out the hypocrisy with the "Occupiers" you know the end of the movement is near, and by "the movement" of course I mean the non-movement.

In This Edition Of Elephant VS. Donkey, We Have Herman Cain (R) vs Bill Clinton (D)
Well considering, Clinton's eyes glazed over about mid way through Cain's response to his incorrect math, then Clinton cut Cain off and finished rambling about the same numbers that Cain already pointed out were wrong... I'd say Round 1 goes to Cain!
In honor of Margaret Thatcher day... Ok it's not her day, but it should be!
We could learn so much from this amazing woman. She rips apart her critics and exposes them for the economic fools they are, all while referring to them as "honorable"... Awesome!
MSNBC Anchor Doesn't Want Women To Shoot Would Be Rapists
Well if I had Melvin in my name, I'd probably be nervous about women defending themselves with guns too.
