[Insert Stunned Silence Here]

Sent to me in e-mail from PISSED:

Vineyard buzzes less for Obamas’ second visit
OAK BLUFFS — Sharky’s Cantina is once again mixing its “Obamarita’’ cocktail, with tastes of the president’s favorite fruits, and the Locker Room on Circuit Avenue has restocked the “I vacationed with Obama’’ T-shirts.

But as Martha’s Vineyard prepares for the first family’s visit tomorrow — their second summer stay here since President Obama took office — the excitement that marked last summer’s arrival of the fresh-faced commander in chief seems to have ebbed like the tide.

Okay, nothing shocking here. It's understandable that the Øbama's second visit would have less fanfare than the first. That's perfectly normal and expected. What is NOT normal nor expected - especially from tony Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts - is this:
“Last year, Obama gave you goose bumps, but I don’t think you’re going to see that this year,’’ said Alex McCluskey, co-owner of the Locker Room, who sold more than 4,000 “I vacationed with Obama’’ T-shirts last year. But so far this year, he said, his hot item is T-shirts of former President Bush asking, “Miss me yet?’’

WHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTT????????????

T-shirts with GEORGE W. FREAKING BUSH on them are out-selling Øbama T-shirts? In Massa-freakin'-chusetts? On Martha's Vineyard, the posh island resort with left-leaning celebrity mansions and the Kennedy compound??? Holy turnarounds Batman!

You've really got to be doing something horrifically wrong to turn vacationing MAholes against you...

That is all.

It's even worse than you might think. A lot of vacationers on the Vineyard are New Yawkers who should love President Feckless.

It seems he's uniting people from all over the country. Unfortunately for him, they are uniting to oppose him and his policies.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

How many vacations is this for the big O? It seems to me he thinks the presidential election is like reality show and now that he won he just needs to spend the money and reap the benefits privileges and none of the responsibilities

I read the comments -- I haven't seen a positive one yet! And this is from the land of the Globe? Wow.

By the way, note that the Mrs. doesn't accompany him when he travels to a Muslim country. That would be against sharia law, I guess.

Apparently, even MASSholes can learn when you rub their noses in the crap enough.
