Awaiting The First Family's First Vacation

Preview for Sunday 082309

Hey folks,

"There are no official events scheduled in the week ahead. I anticipate that he'll play golf a number of times," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said on Friday.

Ahead for the first family: likely trips for ice cream and salt water taffy, possibly a bike ride and plenty of quiet time at a secluded 28-acre private estate that rents for $35,000 a week.

Isn't this sweet?

Ahead of the trip, Obama and his aides asked for privacy for his daughters, 8-year-old Sasha and 11-year-old Malia.

"Just to reiterate: It is our strong hope and desire that you all, during this family vacation, will respect the privacy of Sasha and Malia Obama. This is a strong request by the first family," top spokesman Gibbs told reporters, conveying a direct appeal from the Oval Office.

Ask Palin about the MMD {Mainstream Media Drones} leaving Daughters alone. What was that? "If they are going to be in the spot light, then they are free targets?" Oh yeah, this is the Obamas we are talking about. Notice something that they are not mentioning? Also ahead of the trip, also awaiting the Obamas, is one Cindy Sheehan. I love this Blog post.

They’ll be all over this. Yessir. Just like they were when she was protesting Bush over “his” war. Right? Um, I said, right?

This morning the anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan—the woman who spent so much time leading well-publicized protests outside President Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas—announced that she will demonstrate next week at Martha’s Vineyard, where President Obama will be vacationing. “There are several things that we wish to accomplish with this protest on Martha’s Vineyard,” Sheehan said in a statement:

Oh, boy ! It’s on now! I’ll bet the media is headed to Martha’s Vineyard at this very moment in planes, trains, and automobiles, barking like a pack of hungry dogs in their eagerness to cover the fact that she’s protesting Obama and his wars. Isn’t that right, MSM?

Hello? Hello?


This is true folks, {Laughing} Try as hard as I may, I can not find ONE actual News outlet talking about this. Surely NOT the "All Barack Channel," uh, ABC News. While searching to see who was reporting this, I found TWO articles taken off from different sources, and this by KXMB CBS12- Cindy Sheehan: Hey, Where Did everybody Go? Complete with THIS Disclaimer: This article is a blog post and does not represent the views or opinions of Reiten Television, KXNet.com, its staff and associates and is wholly owned by the user who posted this content. Hey, at least she is GETTING it. Cindy Sheehan said this to Byron York:

"I read your column about the “anti-war” movement and I can’t believe I am saying this, but I mostly agree with you.

The “anti-war” “left” was used by the Democratic Party. I like to call it the “anti-Republican War” movement.

While I agree with you about the hypocrisy of such sites as the DailyKos, I have known for a long time that the Democrats are equally responsible with the Republicans. That’s why I left the party in May 2007 and that’s why I ran for Congress against Nancy Pelosi in 2008."


{Laughing} Hi Cindy. Good luck.

More on Cindy in a few minutes. Anyway, happy Sunday to you. Welcome to the big Sunday Edition of the OPNTalk Blog. Glad you could stop by. Coming right up today?

IWA for Sunday 082309

Oh did you catch this? Right now in Germany there is a big investigation into the Schools of Higher Learning. Seems that Professors are being PAID to give their students their Doctoral Degrees. Hmm? Do you think that could possibly be happening here? In say, oh, I don't know, maybe Environmental Studies? You know, like Global Warming? Nah, this is America, that could never happen here. Right?

Going to fill up my cup, today's coffee of the day is Don Francisco's "Hawaiian Hazelnut." www.don-francisco.com Be right back.
