Getaway!: Obamas Hit North Carolina for Hiking, Golf & Ribs

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

The New York Times: Mr. Obama skipped out of work a little early on Friday to head here for a weekend getaway with his wife Michelle, a partial makeup for the spring break in Australia and Indonesia he scrapped in March to stay home and pass health care legislation. The two left the kids at home and quickly got into the spirit of things by heading directly from the airport to 12 Bones Smokehouse for barbecued ribs.

Maybe they will get lost in the woods!

Kevin Libby   April 24th, 2010 - 12:51 am

In North Carolina they like pork ribs…Do Muslims eat pork? I know it is a stupid joke!

Gary in Cary   April 24th, 2010 - 12:57 am

All seriousness aside, c’mon, they are just Rudolph-in’ the woods.

the_professor   April 24th, 2010 - 12:58 am

This shop specializes in goat ribs… The taste of his native Kenya.

kay   April 24th, 2010 - 12:58 am

Yes, his trip to Indonesia was delayed because of health care reform.

He had to make sure his ” Marxist agenda HC bill” was passed before he flew of to Indonesia to pay off the government to assure that his passport, citizenship, (for Barry Soetoro) and educational documents, passport to Afghanistan records, were never released the American people…or anyone else, requesting them. Is that right, Barry????

Can anyone say “Deliverance”?

fastfacts   April 24th, 2010 - 1:33 am

It’s all show. That’s all Obama is show. He screws the American people with bills they don’t want then comes back and tries to redeem himself. This happens over and over again. There is no redemption through image rebuilding for those that break the public trust.

http://www.americanparchment.com has a great archive about Obama’s past attempts to do this and yet his approval continues to go down.

Don't Drink the Blue Water   April 24th, 2010 - 1:46 am

That’s a good NewYorkTimes shot of him sitting in the rib joint with his big mouth flapping open.

Those blue lips though are getting worse.

Someone should put a stop to his filthy habit of drinking out of the chemical toilets on the plane.

Like Che Guevara who feasted on steak while men were executed without trial for being counter-revolutionary, Obama will feast like a vile Tarrasque on the ribs of the middle class family guy law abiding tax payer.

Never in my life as a family man law abiding tax payer American have I felt like right is criminal and wrong are the law makers like now in Obama’s regime.

How can Muslim Barry Sotero even be allowed to eat the meat of a pig?

Barry Sotero, you are the biggest rat vermin radical I have ever seen betray the constitution. You disgust me Barry Sotero Barak Hussain Obama.

If you support Obama and his Regime, you support a Statist authoritarian who is an empty suit who speaks in platitudes who is beholden to the oligarchical collectivists and banking cabals. You are against freedom, liberty and our constitutional republic and the notion that all of our rights are inborn and are given by our creator. Some autocrat in Washington does not grant rights – the constitution simply enumerates them for added protection. The constitution also limits the Powers of the Federal Government yet an expansionist authoritarian view is used in modern times contrary to what Madison had intended. If you support Obama you support the biggest threat to our free will in our history, and when the last bastion of freedom in the USA falls, there is nowhere else to go.

@ Mick Russom – love the old school D&D reference btw. Never actually fought the Tarrasque back in my gaming days, though.

No, he’s not Jesus.

curious NC hiker asks “Are you who I think you are ?”

Obama replies ” Why yes I am a Kenyan that practices islam.”

Brian Williams bows. Again.

Sasquatch spotted chasing black man through the woods in North Carolina today. In other News….

Hunter   April 24th, 2010 - 3:50 am

I want to know how many taxpaying campers were evicted from the forest by machine gun wielding Secret Service Agents so team Obama could play grab-ass in the land of the free and the home of the brave.

claspur   April 24th, 2010 - 4:38 am

Ick. The visual of Him chaseingHer through the woods, makes my skin crawl.

Here’s another one.

Just woke to see Geithner on C-Span(sound off) talking at The G-20 IMF Summit.. couldn’t help noticing his eyes as he talked, again, then looking at him in a Nazi uniform too.(not only a crook…that man is pure evil)
Look now at him,(3:35 am cst) or keep an eye for a rerun again this weekend.

claspur   April 24th, 2010 - 4:42 am

Shall I bother to ask? Ribs….. Beef or Pork?(that’s one question-too you won’t hear the MSM ask.. *sigh)

claspur   April 24th, 2010 - 5:01 am

Hunter at 3:50am

Good point…. that’s called, ‘Discriminate Domain.’

…and if anyone thinks a lone hiker got-up close enough to ask that stupid question, they also think Clinton walked-up on Utah beach to find stones laying ona bare beach to make a cross.

Really wonder how many Secret Service guys have quit to avoid serving this.

PaulD   April 24th, 2010 - 6:20 am

I yearn for the day when these two crawl back into their hole, and we can begin to repair the damage done to America.

Sam Freedom   April 24th, 2010 - 6:20 am

“Are you who I think you are?” BLAM! just kidding

In all seriousness, can you blame the guy for taking a break? Placing massive tax burdens on future generations and apologizing to 180 nations has got to be incredibly strenuous for a man in charge of 57 states.

wimperwimper   April 24th, 2010 - 6:34 am

GOOD – maybe they will love it so much they will stay there – then again – no such luck – even the woods and the inhabitants thereof don’t want them. Wonder what damage they can do there. I have never in my life watched or listened to two more disgusting people – then again what else does one expect of a CHICAGO THUG!!!!

Operation Bigfoot   April 24th, 2010 - 7:16 am

There were over 236 Bigfoot sightings on the Appalacian Trail this weekend. Bigfoot was accompanied by a thin Muslim wearing a blue cap.

Lynn   April 24th, 2010 - 7:21 am

Who cares that Obama is taking another vacation and eating ribs? Is this what they call news now? Man on the trail as Obama “are you who I think you are”. Okay Obama is out there on the trail and a man comes up? I don’t think so, with all of the secret service I’m sure it was a prop. Obama is so full of himself.

Steve in Pa.   April 24th, 2010 - 7:28 am

They don’t show them eating the ribs, did he actually eat them? And who only eats 1/2 a rack of ribs for two people?

rumrunner   April 24th, 2010 - 7:37 am

You folks have it all wrong.
The Oblahblahs had a high-level summit to attend with these folks.

How can the “progressive” New York Times push a racist stereotype like a couple of black people in back woods North Carolina eating bbq ribs?

lukuj   April 24th, 2010 - 9:08 am

I wish they would stay on vacation. At least when Obama is away he can’t spend any more money we don’t have, appoint another liberal judge, or whine, complain, and bad mouth anyone who doesn’t agree with him. Please, let the vacation last until November 2012.

H2K   April 24th, 2010 - 9:17 am

Some questions:
1) who wrote Brian Williams’ fawning script?
2) Did they walk away from the rib joint hungry? Any slaw with those ribs? Does anyone realize a 1/2 rack of ribs would leave only a single rib for Obama and 10 for Michelle?
3) who at the secret service was fired for not sweeping the area of “hikers”?
4) was there a carbon footprint for this date?

I hope Obama saved his wet-nap from the rib dinner for Brian to wipe off. I’ll bet he was wearing no pants during that report.

At least they took the mini-AirForceOne instead of the gas guzzler. Gibbs must have stayed home to twitter about riding his tricycle. We are truly blessed.

Thor:

That’s funny… last night when I entered my comment…

“Maybe they will get lost in the woods.”
my 13 year old son said to me….

“I hear banjos”
because he had read this article about Obama and the North Carolina woods and he remembered “Dueling Banjos” from “Deliverance”.

Too cool!

bigScrotum   April 24th, 2010 - 1:08 pm

Recharge Mr. President. You deserve a break after achieving victory against the reactionaries who stood in the way against universal health care.
Recharge, so you are ready to defeat the do nothing Republicans on financial reform, consumer protection and immigration.
Reinvigorate so that you can tax the bejesus out of the destroyers of the free enterprise system.

Don't Drink the Cool Aid   April 24th, 2010 - 2:12 pm

Sure it was a vacation. North Carolina is going to fall big time to the Republicans in November and he’s taking a vacation…sure.

“Sure it was a vacation. North Carolina is going to fall big time to the Republicans in November and he’s taking a vacation…sure.”

Spot-on dude! When Obama’s pollsters told him he was going to win the election, he didn’t go to Hawaii just before election day to visit granny…he went there to conspire with the local political cronies to bury and seal his long-form birth certificate.

Nothing this marxist punk does is coincidence – it’s campaign mode 24/7/365!

America…The puppet of the Bilderberg…Obama the Bush has always been on a ‘vacation’!

He has never worked in his life. Never held down a 9 to 5 job like the rest of America!

He has been only a ‘community organizer’ better known as a ‘rebel rouser’!

Alot of Americans, who are still fortunate enough to have a job under his administration, can work not only one job…but some of our citizens hold 2 or 3 jobs to meet their financial committments!

They have no time for vacations and many have never, ever taken a vacation.

Now here comes the puppet of the Bilderberg…Obama the Bush…flying his wife to New York for dinner…over to Paris to shop…back and forth throughout the nation and overseas…using ‘carbon footprints’ all the way…and using millions of the tax dollars of ‘real’ Americans footing the bill for him…but ‘he’ needs a vacation right?

America…let’s give him a vacation if he wants a vacation.

Let us start by removing his voting leverage in November by eradicating all the cockroaches in our house known as Democratzi ‘loon’ henchmen and moderate ‘fence sitting Republicans who have enabled him.

That will make him a lame duck without any power to do any more damage to our Republic.

Then let’s send him packing in 2012…if not before through impeachment…on a permanent vacation. Perhaps, he will go back to his home country of Kenya or Indonesia…and leave Americans alone!

Get er done…America…we have the vote and we have the power…let’s use it!

—————————————

AMERICA…REMEMBER THE VOTE…

COME NOVEMBER WE WILL BE SERVING UP ‘LAME DUCK’ FOR THANKSGIVING…AND WHAT A DAY OF THANKSGIVING THAT WILL BE!
—————————————-

IMPEACHMENT OR THE ‘ORIGINAL’ RECORDS OF BIRTH…IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME…AND 2010 WILL BE THE TIME!
