The first family settled in Sunday for their vacation on Martha’s Vineyard not long after Hurricane Bill scampered away, leaving behind big waves and heavy rip currents for the Obamas.

A tropical storm warning was lifted just hours before President Barack Obama began his first vacation since taking office. The hurricane forced him to delay his departure from Andrews Air Force Base by a few hours.

During the flight from Washington to Cape Cod, White House spokesman Bill Burton conveyed a message from Obama, who boarded Air Force One in khakis and without jacket or tie, to the reporters traveling with him.

“He wants you to relax and have a good time. Take some walks on the beaches. Nobody’s looking to make any news,” Burton told reporters.

    Good family values. It would be nice to see more beautiful families like this in the black community. Its like most of us have this assumption that being black and settling down isn’t hip or you lose swag or something. Grow up! Obama = Black father and husband of the year! Dare you to be better.

    I don’t care about where the Obamas go for vacation or what they’re wearing. So far everything that’s being done is to keep the rich richer at the expense of the poor. So where’s the real change here? Example: Cash For Clunkers. The government gives you money to give to auto dealers. What do you get besides further in depth or another bill you don’t need. How is that helping the poor. Who’s gonna bail out the poor. Obama’s pushing for everybody to go to school. Again the money goes to the schools. Once you get the education you’re not guaranteed a job. You got college graduates working at McDonald’s. What’s wrong with this picture?

    Im glad they have some time from the Oval office…so many people are pissed that the health care reform, the “war” overseas and free trade are evaporating rapidly since President Obama’s acceptance of the President…but where’s the annimosity for a president like George W. Bush????…now that hes settled in Texas behind his four walls are we to give him less slack for the foriegn policies and american reforms he didnt even attempt to scathe in the 8 years America suffered while he was in office. Do we forget his uninvolved manner in the immediate attacks on the world trade center, the after effects of Hurrican Katrina on the levys and eventual decimation of Louisiana, the delay and continuous uninvolvement of FEMA, and of course, the thousands of soilders in Iraq who were sacrificed just to announce on USA shores that “we’re winning the war on terror”?…so let the noose hang freely from Bush’s neck but tighten it on Obama’s for taking a week of r&r…cute complainers…real cute

    “oOoMiiSSzUNiiQUEoOo” I highly doubt you even know anything about politics and what’s going on so your comment doesn’t even deserve to be posted. YOUR OPINION DOESN’T MATTER!! And “IDONTDATEBLACKGIRLS” you are a disgrace to the black race and black men in genral. This is BLACK PLANET so since you clearly hate yourself why don’t you cancel your membership and go somewhere else where you would fit in better like http://www.imasellout.com? Lame.

    I hope that those of you that are attempting to leave negative messages are truly just trying to irritate people. Only those that do not have education beyond high school can be against it. If there are people that have a college education and are not working in anything better than the fast food industry or it’s equal should really ask themselves why. Those of us who are utilizing our educations know the difference. I changed jobs in the middle of the what is being referred to as the recession, an have almost doubled my salary. As for buying a car and the new car payment, if you cannot afford it don’t get it. Same goes for a house, there is a $8000 break for that one, if you cannot afford it don’t get it. It’s always the tose who don’t have and are too lazy to try and get anything that are always complaining. I would like them to CANCEL Welfare for anyone who has been on it more than a year, that would wipe out that DAMN FICA that they take hundreds from my salary, for all those lazv A%$ people, that would clear up allot of money.
