Obamas Leave Maine, Head Home To DC (PHOTOS)

The Obamas headed home to Washington, DC on Sunday morning after their quick weekend trip to Bar Harbor, Maine. They left their hotel around 10 a.m., according to pool reports, and arrived at Bar Harbor Airport about 20 minutes later. Michelle wore a Tracy Reese dotted dress, one of her favorite summer prints, and the President was back in long sleeves. The First Family landed in D.C. around 12:40 p.m. Check out some new pics:

Scottowego: "Well I think a 20 billion dollar escrow account for damages is a nice cancellation prize for the folks in the Gulf."

A "CANCELLATION PRIZE"???? for the "FOLKS IN THE GULF"??

Scottowego: "I think they'd rather have those billions than a short vacation by the first family."

The people living on the Gulf coast, as reported on CNN last night, will receive 6 months pay without signing a release, and possibly up to 3 years pay WITH signing a release to BP stating they will NOT SUE.

This means if, any time in the future, near or far, they become ill as a result of the adverse effects of the petroleum and COREXIT dispersants, they are on their own, they CANNOT SUE for any damages.

Scottowego: "He's doing a great job in my opinion and I know that must irritate you to no end. :) "

I am a Liberal, so you are barking up the wrong tree if you are trying to label me otherwise.

But no, I do not think the president is "doing a good job" for the people, the environment and animals.

I DO think he is doing a good job for CORPORATIONS.

Without the 20 billion, the residents would have NOTHING! The payments are no different than any Liability suits, for if you agree to a lump sum then you cannot sue. It's call a settlement! In the future if the residents get ill, then they will have Health Care Insurance that the Democrats passed, while the Republicans says no to everything. What have the Republicans done for you lately?

Demand an Accurate Illegal Count!

Let's agree to one thing: there *IS* a way to accurately count the amount of illegals in this county and the 2000 Census isn't it.

Let's agree to a second thing: neither Obama, Schumer or Graham want to use this method.

Instead, they rely on the 2000 Census which estimates the number is 11 million. But the Census does this based on interviews with illegals -- 90% of whom don't do interviews.

For example: in the 1990 Census, New York State illegal Brazilians were under-counted by 90%

The problem is obvious: Obama is telling us there are 11 million illegals here when there may be as many as 30-100 million. He's proposing a "reform" law based on ignorance -- ignorance that dramatically misstates the key statistic.

This is a recipe for disaster.

To avoid this disaster Obama must drop everything he's doing and order an accurate count. This can be done using "micro-indicators" -- remittances, school enrollment, border inflow-outflow, housing data.

With out this we are flying blind -- we have absolutely no way of knowing where we're going.

Did it ever occur to the critics that htis New England holiday was already planned before the Gulf Coast spill? And the President still hass more R&R coming to him (and well-deserved I might add given all the fires he has had to put out. Has been working hard because it makes me wonder what the Security Advisor and Joint Chiefs of Staff are telling him...it would probably turn anyone's hair white) He also mentioned that he would be back to the Gulf. So is it that you want him to take his next vacation to the Gulf? or are yoiu going to criticize him for taking more time off no matter wher he goes?..geez, he barely spent three days in Bar Harbor. Cut the poor guy a break!

Please...don't bring common sense and reasoning into this.

It's way too confusing for these mouth-breathing overseers who want to dictate every second of this man's time.

I have a sneaking suspicion that if the polling organizations were allowed to call cell phones (30% of Americans don't even use land lines anymore) that Obama's approval ratings would improve significantly.

I know many people would LOVE the chance to speak or go to an event with Obama. Especially to speak about the country's current issues. Anyone in Chicago or Chicago area or willing to come to Chicago can go to this event at the Cultural Center with him. Check out the details here: http://bit.ly/93iTC8

WHEN is Obama going to "vacation", "weekend" "take a jaunt" on the GULF COAST?

[suemj]

12:14 PM on 07/20/2010

He's entitled to a week off, as every president, and some of who has spent their entire administrations on vacation! Lighten up.

Evidence that being the President really bites? Gray hair. Obama has also succombed to the salt and pepper do. They enter the White House full of life and part way through their term, the sprinkles take hold of their hair.

If you are more worked up over a FAMILY WEEKEND *with elementary school aged children over summer break*. Than you are over Rep. Barton *not once, but twice* APOLOGIZING to BP! Or over TAX CUTS for the WEALTHIEST Americans being extended in a time of economic crisis. Then as someone posted earlier, it's clear that HATE is your God.

i think what people were upset about, was not that he took a va-k (which is nothing to get upset about), but that he didnt take it in the Gulf (after asking Americans to va-k there to help thier economy) and that he flew the dog in its own jet, by itself to meet the fam in maine. that, in hindsight, may have not been the best use of taxpayer money when so many are still unemployeed. minor things, but when people are out of work, they get a little sensitive about things like that.

[VeganSue]

Thank you, bobell.

Yes, and people SHOULD be upset about the president FLYING HIS DOG ON HIS OWN PRIVATE JET to MAINE (sorry for the caps, they are not for your benefit but for others).

And people SHOULD be upset that the president URGES other people to vacation in the GULF, but he himself IS NOT.

Obama could have easily changed his VACATION PLANS, as apparently he has in the past. I think at least it would have made a statement that he practices what he preaches, but obviously HE DOES NOT.

It is a bitter pill that Obama, and it could be ANY president, but it IS HIM, rubber-stamps the Deepwater Horizon, goes MISSING, then goes GOLFING, then goes to Louisiana and tells Louisianans that he "could not exactly go down there and suck it up with a straw" and then goes GOLFING SOME MORE, then does some PICKNICKING with Congress on the White House Lawn, then GOES TO MAINE to vacation or weekend or jaunt or whatever the heck the O.F. A. people want to call it.

Two photos of the oldest picking a wedge.

Nice HP. Real nice.

I've got zero problems catching Michelle in a fashion faux pa, but leave the kids out of it.

She's not picking a wedge. Smoothing the dress down, keeping it from blowing up, yes. Picking a wedge, no.

Why has he been plummeting in the polls? Perhaps he is doing what he wants and not what the people want. BTW...DailyKos is a legit source especially from their polling outfit. LOL

See the tro//s are out in force this morning and evidently calling the President Barry has been replaced by 'dear leader'.
