A 5.9 Earthquake Shakes Washington And New York

Massive Power Cuts And Evacuations Ensue

A 5.9 magnitude earthquake in Virginia, jolted Washington, D.C. and New York, sending people scrambling into the streets. The U.S. Pentagon, FBI and DOJ buildings in Washington, were all evacuated. Secret Service agents were seen swarming the roof of the White House, all believing it was a terrorist attack.

The President was not in the White House at the time of the earthquake. Obama was out playing golf in luxury Martha's Vineyard, in the face of shaky economic times. It is being stated the quake was felt at Obama's location as well. This is the first quake to hit the region in the past 100-years.

People in California have been laughing at and mocking the East Coast today, for their fearful reaction to the quake, which is pretty brave considering they're are sitting on a crack in the earth that could create new beach front property at any moment (see: the Big One).

Side Bar: This is a personal request. Does anybody have any footage of the FBI in DC hauling butt out of the 100-year old agency's building when the quake struck. Just asking.

President Obama Criticized By Democrats And Republicans For Taking Vacation During Economic Crisis

U.S. President, Barack Obama, is being criticized by both Democrats and Republicans, for going on a 10-day vacation to the luxury enclave of Martha's Vineyard. It is one of many breaks he has taken this year. Politicians are lining up to slam the move.

Barack Obama (stress is prematurely aging the President, as the First Lady is wrinkle free. Maybe he should borrow some of her moisturizer).

To add some levity to the bleak situation, the RNC has launched a website called www.obamagetaway.com which chides the president, via a series of humorous postcards about his ill-timed vacation. The funniest cards are about Vice President, Joe Biden and separately, former President Jimmy Carter. That website is so wrong (LOL).

The latest financial numbers and stats released on the U.S. economy are not pretty. Unemployment is up, the dollar is down setting record lows, more banks are closing and the stock market keeps tumbling in triple digit numbers.

Maybe Obama's time would be better spent in Washington, D.C. in the White House, working on the economy. It really wasn't a good time for a vacation, when so many people in America are suffering and can't afford one.

Obama To Go On Vacation Again

Obama To Address The Nation

America's First Family, the Obamas, return to the White House, from summer vacation in Martha's Vineyard, well rested and tanned. Well, actually, they were tanned before they left.

After spending 10 days luxuriating in Martha's Vineyard on the taxpayers' dime, golf and doing not much else, during a financial depression might I add, U.S. President Barack Obama, has returned to Washington, D.C.

The President is preparing to give a speech, regarding the ill-fated Iraq war, initiated by former President Bush. Ironically, in a move that can only hurt his credibility, Obama called President Bush for advice. Well, it certainly wasn't for spelling advice.

What people want to know is, when will the costly wars in the Middle East end? Where can we find jobs? How can we save our homes? How will our children go to university? Why is the deficit so high, with each citizen's tab currently at $44,000.

Obama Wastes Taxpayer Money Redecorating The White House During Financial Crisis

U.S. President Barack Obama and his wife, First Lady, Michelle Obama, have shown poor judgment once again, in spending excessive sums of money, during a financial depression. The Obamas used taxpayer money to pay for redecorating the White House.

During their lavish vacation to Martha's Vineyard, new drapes, carpets, paintings and furnishings were installed. However, when the president assumed office 18-months ago, the White House was decorated to suit their tastes. Another refurbishment was not necessary and financially insensitive in the current climate.

Shelve Obama In 2012

Obama playing more golf than Tiger Woods

U.S. President Barack Obama was spotted playing golf again, as the worst financial crisis in modern times, devours the U.S. economy whole. However, a hole in one has clearly been deemed more important.

Maybe they should install a putting green at the White House, if it will keep the President on Pennsylvania Ave and working, as this excessive leisure time is not fixing the severely broken economy. Frankly, golfing away, as the nation's financial fortunes worsen, is very distasteful.

The President has failed to listen to any sound advice regarding the economy, recklessly spending huge sums of taxpayer dollars, sending the national deficit to record highs. To be so nonchalant about spending other people's money, knowing it could breed the full-on end of the empire, lacks class and is quite troubling.

The Obamas vacationing again in Martha's Vineyard, while the economy tanks

Obama has also reneged on his promise of transparency in government, hiding document after document, at the FBI, DOJ, NSA and CIA, incriminating to his Adminstration and cronies. His behavior has become outrageous and appalling.

The Judiciary Report has successfully predicted a number of significant financial and social events (see exclusives). In light of Obama's poor conduct, the Judiciary Report's standing recommendation is this, unless his conduct significantly improves, under no circumstances should he be reelected.

Unless Obama's wanton, irresponsible spending and gross lack of transparency desists and he is able to properly turn the economy around, rather than deteriorating it, as he has already done, Obama deserves to be shelved in 2012.

Holiday unlikely to be restful for President Obama

Fri Aug 21, 2009 1:09am EDT - WASHINGTON (Reuters) - His healthcare reform plan is stumbling, the economy is still sputtering and violence is up in Iraq and Afghanistan. Who wouldn't want a break?

President Barack Obama is officially taking one next week when he heads to Martha's Vineyard. But his long "to do" list -- two wars, worldwide recession and a host of legislative battles in store when he gets back, most notably the struggle over reforming the U.S. health system -- will make it hard for him to relax and disconnect.

Obama is the best salesman for healthcare reform, economic stimulus and other domestic agenda items, and his absence could hurt, analysts said...

Some critics have questioned whether the president should take a vacation at all, especially given the country's stubborn economic problems and the vehemence of opposition to the $1 trillion healthcare plan.

Others have slammed him for heading to a Massachusetts resort island known as a haven for the rich and famous...
