You know, as long as people keep thinking the President (any President) has something to do with the state of the country, things will never improve.
I could wax poetic on the arrogance of the emperor, but I won't.
Instead, I'll let his own actions define him as a leader, a man, a human being.
I notice how the OP fails to give one example of Obama's entourage preventing anyone from preparing for the hurricane. Of course when he travels it always has an impact but that's true of all Presidents.
The Vineyard prides itself on being a Presidential vacation spot. It's great for business and the islanders as well as the tourists get a thrill rubbing elbows with the President and 1st family.

As Obama and his clan enjoy themselves on Martha's Vineyard, Hurricane Irene steadily makes her way up the eastern seabord of the US. But this thread isn't about whether Obama will be safe or able to escape the island in time.
It's about the many people that he is inconveniencing with his selfish indulgence. The people who are subjected to extra restrictions at the local airports cannot travel as they want or need to. Property owners are prevented free and normal access to their property, and cannot prepare their homes against the storm, which promises to be a doozy. Seacraft are stranded and must wait for Barry's permission before they are attended to.
Meanwhile, Barry O. slurps on ice cream and Mrs. Soetero waddles from boutique to boutique while frustrated owners and residents are treated like lower class as they need to make way for the messiah.
Barry, GO HOME!!

Bullcrap. Ask the residents and workers who are constantly inconvenienced by Obama's 40 car entourage tying up miles of traffic as they transport him to his oh so important golf game. Add that to the fact that his idiot wife insisted on taking a separate jet to Mass., just a few hours earlier than him leaving on AF1. Too snobby to ride together, I guess. Ghetto trying to impress...who cares about the extra expense to the taxpayer?

A little salty?
By the way, did you see that Obama is cutting his vacation short to go back to work? Will you give him credit for that?
