BULLETIN:  PRESIDENT GOES ON VACATION TODAY – AT 8:05 A.M. ET:  President Obama leaves for Cape Cod after lunch today, starting a 10-day vacation with his family.

We thought you'd like to know about this, and to be assured that the president and first lady are finally getting some time off.  My goodness, there are people who actually begrudge our leader this bit of time in the sun.  Why, he works night and day, throwing out first balls, defending mosques at Ground Zero, raising money for the Democratic Party, engaging in the agonizing duty of choosing ice cream flavors.  He needs this time to unwind, to rub shoulders with all those common folk who vacation on Cape Cod.  The place he's staying only charges $50,000 a week.  Dearies, that is a STEAL in these northeast parts.  I don't want my president staying at a Holiday Inn Express, or going to one of those vulgar places where they play country and western. 

And yes, this is sarcastic.
