Obama: 'I'd appreciate a little break'

It's often remarked that President Obama has enjoyed a number of getaways, vacations, and mini-vacations during his 20 months in office. But at a Democratic fundraiser Thursday night, the president
said, "I'd appreciate a little break."

The fundraiser -- $30,400 per person -- was at the home of Linda Douglass, the former CBS and ABC News reporter who joined the Obama White House to sell national health care to a skeptical public.
Douglass is now a top executive at Atlantic Media, the Washington-based
company that runs The Atlantic, National Journal, and other
publications. Douglass' husband, John Phillips, is a wealthy lawyer,
and according to a White House pool report, he introduced Obama tonight
by saying, "I can remember walking down those snowy streets of Des
Moines in the primary…We sleep much better knowing that you are our
president at this difficult time."

According to the pool report, Obama thanked Phillips for the work he and his wife have done for Team Obama. Then the president mentioned that Phillips and Douglass have an opulent place in Italy and wondered
why there had been no invitation to visit. "I'd appreciate a little
break and some Tuscan sun," the president said, according to the pool
report. "Some pasta. I can use it."

Obama reportedly spoke about 15 minutes. After the dinner, he left the Phillips/Douglass home and headed to DAR Constitutional Hall, where he addressed the Democratic National Committee rap concert/fundraiser.
Then, it was back to the White House by 9:45 pm, where the president
presumably was able to get a little rest.

He has had more than a few breaks on our dollars.  What the matter Mr. President, did you find out that sin does not make you happy?????  The Democrats have had both houses and the Presidency and they are still griping!  The unrighteous will not inherit the earth!
