Obama to comment on unemployment report Friday before going to Camp David retreat

The Associated Press

WASHINGTON September 3, 2010 (AP)

President Barack Obama will speak to reporters Friday after the Labor Department releases its monthly jobless report.
Analysts expect the unemployment rate to rise slightly, to 9.6 percent from 9.5 percent.

In the afternoon, the president will leave for the Camp David presidential retreat in the Catoctin (kuh-TAHK'-tin) Mountains of Maryland.

Wow obama is having a weekend break on the big holiday weekend.

Wassermatter third man, ain't you got nothing planned for Labor day?

It wouldent be so grating if this wasent his 6th or 7th 'vacation' since taking office. Not to mention the dozens of golf outings.

Also it presents a bad facade... "I'm here to talk about jobs.. sorry you dont have any, I'm doing everything I can to get you one.. now if you will excuse me I'm off on yet another vacation".

These are indeed tough times which might call for some sacrafices.

Personally I think Obama (and his family) realizes he is a one term wonder and is going to party down every chance they get. At least thats an impression I am left with.

Not to mention he returned from two weeks vacation in Martha's Vineyard just this past Sunday.

President of the US is a 24/7, 365 day a year job. Obama wanted it, got it and now is on perpetual vacation when 9.6% of our people are wondering how they are going to eat next week.

Obama's, self proclaimed, laser beam focus on the economy doesn't match his deads.

Well, it is Labor Day weekend. Everyone is going to some retreat for a three day chill. Obama is not exempt from that. No reason he can not enjoy a BBQ or whatever on Labor Day.

And yes, joblessness sucks but I do not think Obama can solve it over the next three days. See ya Tuesday.

Makes no difference. It is a Federal holiday. Also, the man was on vacation with his family. No different if I was on vacation last week and now taking a 3 day chill for Labor Day. Bottom line, the government is off. What will BO accomplish?

Yeah I remember how upset you were with W's constant vacations to the Crawford ranch.

This is Mr. Obama's 9th vacation since taking office. As of today, he has spent all or part of 38 days on "vacation" away from the White House. He has also made 14 visits to Camp David spanning all or part of 32 days. It brings his total time away to all or part of 70 days.

It's less than the "vacation" time taken during the same period by his immediate predecessor. (Former President George W. Bush gets the quotation marks too.)

As of this point in his 1st term, Mr. Bush had made 14 visits to his Texas ranch spanning all or part of 102 days. He also made 40 visits to Camp David spanning all or part of 123 days. His "vacation" total at this point in his presidency was all or part of 225 days away.

W went to Camp David quite a bit also. I see no problem here with BO going.
