The president’s family is feeling a hit like most Americans these days: Obama says the first couple is “not that far removed from what most Americans are going through.” Not far removed, but far enough so that the First Lady can reserve 30 rooms at a five-star hotel in Spain next month: Not far removed, but far enough to spend ten days on Martha’s Vineyard next month: The White House announced the vacation plans on Friday, one day after disclosing that the Obamas would overnight somewhere along Florida’s oil-threatened Gulf Coast on the weekend of Aug. 14. The Obamas are scheduled to arrive on the Massachusetts island on Aug. 19 and return to the White House on Aug. 29. Bo Obama is scheduled to arrive on Bark Force One shortly after the rest of the family. Somebody please tell the president that if he wants a ride on Massachusetts Senator John Kerry’s new $7 million yacht, he’ll have to go to Rhode Island. Last year, the president called on all Americans to buckle down, give up some things and share in the misery until we get through this financial mess. Can you imagine the scale of the vacations if the Obamas weren’t chipping in their share of sacrifice like the rest of us? Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go shoe my polo pony.
The Obamas Prove They Aren’t Far Removed From What Most Americans are Going Through
He says he and first lady Michelle Obama took a hit like everybody else when the economy nearly collapsed, telling ABC that a college fund for daughters Malia and Sasha has gone “up and down” with the stock market.

It's never news when the ruling class lords it over the rest of us. That is truly a non-partisan trait. It would just be nice if they could spare us the "feel you pain" bullshit. THAT seems to be more of a statist/dem trait. (10...9...8....7 and counting to the inevitable "sarah palin did too" comment)
