Remember how the press bitched and moaned about having to go to Crawford Texas whenever President Bush decided to go there? Remember how the media loved to tell us how much money he was spending by choosing to go there with a full entourage when he could have spent time at Camp David and saved the environment from the endless tons of CO2 emissions?
Check out how the press are falling all over themselves praising Obama for choosing to spend time at a $30 MILLION dollar estate (rented for upwards for $3000 PER DAY!)
“Our workspace is basically the beach,” said FOX News producer Aaron Bruns, who’s staying in Honolulu while covering the president-elect.
The Obamas don’t have a permanent place in Oahu. This week, they’re staying in a $9 million single-story oceanfront home, over a mountain from downtown Honolulu where Obama grew up.
An Obama transition aide said the president-elect would probably retreat to Chicago more often, since it’s closer to Washington, but that he would try to make it out to Hawaii when time and work permit.

“It’s hot and dusty (in Crawford). Here it’s hot and sandy and beautiful,” she said. “It’s very different. People here are wearing flip-flops … even the correspondents will have bathing suits on when they do their live shots.
“Crawford is jeans and cowboy boots, and there’s no breeze.”
I am so disappointed in Fox for this blatant ass-kissing.
Yet in reviews of other similar stories, no mention is made of how the US Government is being stiffed for that nor the almost three times as many tons of CO2 emissions released into the atmosphere by that long flight. he does not even own a home there? I don’t recall Bush ever going on a vacation so far from where his HOME was (in Obama’s case, Chicago) in Bush’s, Crawford. because if he had the press and enviro-freaks would have been screaming like banshees. But the Messiah? “Oh, look over there? See that shiny piece of string? That’s interesting! Let’s go report on it.”
And when he works out they fawningly praise him for working out (yet does anyone recall how the press called Bush “obsessed” for running every day and having the constitution of a man 20 years younger?) HMMMMM?!?!?!
My prediction? The press will never mention how much it costs nor any environmental impact any of his travels to Hawaii may be. You can bet on it.
Oh fust juck them so much. Will there be ANY honest reporting on this Kenyan piece of goat excrement?
WELL, 2012 IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER….
