Ho Ho Holy Cow!

Hello My Dear Friends! Christmastime, while it is wonderful, is exhausting! Parties, guests, family, travel, I don't know about you but I'm spent. Wouldn't it be great, if for the 6th year in a row, you could gather up your whole family and jet off to Hawaii for 17 glorious days! If you were President of the United States that's exactly what you'd be doing. Don't feel bad though. This year you can be a part of the Presidential Vacation! Yup. Just go to www.whitehouse.gov and you can follow the President's vacation on line. It's really wonderful! The website actually says "crank up your heaters, play some Hawaiian music and enjoy on line the 2013 Obama Hawaii Vacation". How luck we all are. Except for all of those people in the Northeast who don't actually have any heat, or power, to crank up. It's a terrific website that actually works; unlike Healthcare.gov. They got this one right. If you want a more interactive experience you can log on to "Armchair Hawaii" where, according to the website you can "learn more about the 2013 Obama Hawaii Vacation" and "read about President Obama's favorite restaurants in Hawaii. What fun! I'm sure the 47,727,000 Americans relying on food stamps this Christmas will be especially interested in that! The White House says they set up the website to "prove once and for all that this is the most open and participatory administration is history". LOL. You really can't make this stuff up. Mr. President, when the American people said they wanted "transparency" they meant in Government, not on vacation. I think you may have missed the mark here. It brings to mind your last attempt at "transparency" when, after banning the public for visiting "the people's house", you put up those lovely "strategically place live White House webcams" so we can see you hard at work. One of the cams, by the way, shows a still shot of the President exiting the Presidential Rest Room. Wow. You really are one of us. One final thought on the Vacation Extravaganza. The website share this interesting bit of inside information:
"Due to an unfortunate "chewing incident" last year involving First Dog Bo and the addition of a second family dog Sunny, the search for a suitable vacation rental home has become quite challenging. To combat this problem, President Obama issued an Executive Order in November declaring that any pet-related damage would be covered by the "full faith and credit guaranty" of the United States Government."
So we're not only paying for the vacation, were covering the cost of any damages his dogs cause! Now that is transparency! I would have never imagined that! Thanks for keeping us in the loop!
