First Family going to the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone National Park

This is coupled with President Obama's town hall meeting in Montana, next week.

The First Family is taking a vacation before their vacation.

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said Friday the president, First Lady Michelle and the kids are heading west on Aug. 14 for a long weekend to visit Grand Canyon and Yellowstone National parks. Just days later, the First Family travels to Martha's Vineyard, off the coast of Massachusetts.

Mrs. Obama and her daughters have already made two overseas trips this summer. Gibbs talked about the westward swing - intended to highlight the national parks - at his briefing, where he offered up Obama's week ahead.

On Sunday the president flies to Guadalajara, Mexico, to attend the North American Leaders summit. Tuesday, Obama touches down in Portsmouth, N.H.- an area where he spent a lot of time in advance of the first-in-the-nation New Hampshire primary in 2008 - for a town hall on health care reform. Obama hosts a reception Aug.12 for his new Supreme Court Justice, Sonia Sotomayor.

On Friday, Aug. 14, the First Family will visit the Bozeman, Mont., area. On Aug. 15 they will travel to Yellowstone, Wyo., and Grand Junction, Colo. They will then travel to the Grand Canyon and Phoenix, Ariz., on Aug. 16, and return to Washington, D.C., on Monday, Aug. 17. The First Family's visit to the national parks occurs during a free weekend for our national parks.

Obama has been to the parks before, Gibbs said. "I know he's been to Yellowstone, because he tells a story of coming to visit his grandparents that I believe includes both stops at Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon, coming from Hawaii." read more here....

The Obama Family Vacation Diggs on Martha's Vineyard

Blue Heron Farm: Obamas To Reportedly Rent Vineyard Vacation Home From Republicans

Here is the info on the Obama Family Vacation Diggs:

President Barack Obama and the First Family will rent the bucolic Blue Heron Farm off South Road in Chilmark for their vacation during the last week of August.

The 28.5-acre property some five hundred yards down Cobb’s Hill Road, spans the Chilmark and West Tisbury town line and overlooks Town Cove, the westernmost finger of the Tisbury Great Pond.

While the mechanics of renting the property were still ongoing at press time, the Gazette has learned that a rental agreement for the farm will comprise three leases, one to be held by the Obamas, another by the Secret Service and a third by a White House entourage.

The amount of the rental has not been disclosed, but up-Island properties similar to Blue Heron Farm rent for between $35,000 to $50,000 per week.

It is understood that the Obamas have treated the transaction as a standard Vineyard summer rental, from payment terms right down to questions about bringing the family dog. read more here...

The Hate Against The Obama Girls

I did not like the majority of the Bush Administration policies that ended up practically destroying this country, but one thing is this, I never stated anything against his wife, Laura Bush nor his girls, Jenna and Barbara. I wish the other side or I won't even go there, I wish the racists of this country would see likewise with Malia and Sasha Obama.

Since, Barack Obama ascended to the presidency the security has been and will continue to be at the all time highest to protect he and his family. It should be. When you have nutjobs over at freerepublic's website spilling and allowing vile comments against not President Obama, but his daughters makes you believe that America is really not that great.

Kids should be off the table, period. Especially kids the ages of 11 and 8. The Obama Girls have done nothing to deserve the nastiness, un-American and un-patriotic comments that have been thrown towards them from the ignorant, crazy and unstable folk that frequent freerepublic.

I have read some of the comments and had to close the browser, it was that bad. But, I do know this, that the Obamas are doing something RIGHT to trigger the hate that is coming from the freerepublic website. I guess the racists are coming out of the closet with a blast since they believe their Americanism, patriotism and whiteness is being challenged from the highest post in this land. Just like the swimming pool incident in Philadelphia, the racists are coming out with no shame.

In the end, it won't work. We saw this show during the campaign in 2008. Everything was thrown at the Obamas and it did not work. The majority in this country denounce and reject bigotry and racism, especially the kind coming from freerepublic and what we saw at the McCain/Palin rallies. Is it sad and discouraging that these nutjobs are out there saying the things that they are against Malia and Sasha Obama? YES, but they are the minority NOT the majority. Remember, that.

David Shuster from MSNBC will cover this story on Monday, during his 3-5 time slot on MSNBC, as this story is starting to get major traction and the so-called "conservatives" are shamefully exposed.

Read it all, here. And from The Vancouver Sun.

President Barack Obama arrived in Ghana Friday on his first trip to sub-Saharan Africa.

He landed soon after 9 p.m. local time and met a group of dignitaries, led by President John Atta Mills. An ethnic African group danced and banged drums for Obama's arrival.

After traveling to Russia and then Italy for a meeting of major industrial powers, Obama is making Ghana, on Africa's west coast, the last stop of his overseas trip.

Obama will make a speech to lawmakers there and tour an oceanfront fort once used to ship slaves to the Americas. read more here....
