Never knew of any "black"connection to Matha's Vineyard. Always thought it was the Kennedy's island and the place where Teddy Kennedy got away with a questionable DWI involving the death of a young lady.

The press is all gaga over the vacation to the Vineyard. For 8 years they had to endure the trials and tribulations of small town TEXAS. Now they can hang out in all the bars they want. There's actually gonna be something to do.

Personally I don't care where the President goes on vacation. Just as long as he's not in Washington causing trouble.

Carter went home to the farm, Reagan went home to the ranch, Bush 41 went home to Maine, Clinton was homeless, and Bush 43 went home to his ranch.
Why doesn't Obama just go home to Chicago?

You mean the ranch he bought just prior to running for President. That ranch was bought for the sole purpose of portraying himself as an average Joe. And if you don't think so, then why did he feel it necessary after leaving the WH to buy another house. Well two that is, one for him and Laura and one for the secret service.

I personally don't care when he bought the property. And I personally don't care where he lives now. Same with Bubba. I do not care.

So you can go on with your personal dislike of Geroge W Bush. I really don't care.

You see, there are those that have made it the FAMILY BUSINESS to govern us. And we keep wanting them around simply because of the family name. TAFT, KENNEDY, CLINTON, BUSH. just to name a few.

We have Senators in Washington who retire and their son or daughter takes their place. That's like the House of Lords in England! The title is passed down from one generation to the next.

Sad thing is, we see no problem with it.

Um, Reagan has been DEAD for years, I don't think he "lives" anywhere now.

As for the "Bubba" comment, it is racist, and uncalled for. You should be ashamed, but racists never are.

Why "Bubba" is racist slang....

It refers to a "big, dumb, WHITE guy, who is often a racist".

The name "Bubba" was given to Clinton by the Little Rock newspaper when he was Governor. So Arkansans have been calling him that longer than anybody else.

And the LAST thing I am is racist. I judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin.

Now if you want a racist, look at AL Sharpton.

Still don't get it huh? Have to keep asking questions that a two year old would have the answers to! Good luck with that and while you are at it why don't you get an education that your parents didn't make sure you got when you were a child! Wait a minute, maybe you are not all grown up yet! Thats what I thought!

Feeling the heat Gary?

You call out RRV and me, we both give you our e-mail addresses to clarify, but you are too much of a limp d!k blowhard to be a man about it.

Still jerking off to your true detective magazines in your little pretend world.

I'm a international movie star and cartoon character. My reputation precedes me.

You are a fantasizing retired cop who has embarrassed yourself such that you will be laughed at by anyone who sees you.

Whose reputation are you concerned about?
