Obama's vacation on a Private Beach in Hawaii? They Don't EXIST.. Beaches are All Public

[symbolman]

Just caught the attack on Obama re: McCain's HOUSE-Gate :) and they tried to hit back by saying that "Obama enjoyed a Vacation in Hawaii on a PRIVATE BEACH"...

I live here, and there AIN'T No Such Animal..

All beaches here are Public, no ONE OWNS THEM..

Nice Try assholes, doesn't FLY.

Bush declares Emergency in Florida, my question is ARE MCCAIN HOMES BEING DAMAGED BY THE WEATHER? :)

Somewhere in the world a McCain Home is being damaged by Global warming!

1. Excellent point, thank you!

I'm sure the Obama people know this. I hope they do.

2. GOP playbook: say ANYTHING and the media will repeat it for you without checking

15. John & Cindy-Lou would never be caught dead on a public beach SO>

Natch they just ASSumed the Obamas were just as elitist as them!

3. Wasn't it just a rental? They rented a house for at least three families for a week.

That is kind of a normal type of vacation. It wasn't at his second, third or eighth home. It was like a normal rental for a normal summer vacation.

5. Sure!

Flights are cheap to Hawaii right now, people can stay in decent places for as little as 100 bucks a night for a family..

He was with FAMILY McCain, unlike YOUR SON, who just stiffed a bank he worked for, quit so he's not anywhere NEAR it when it goes down the crapper.. :)

4. I thought they hadn't changed the law since I lived there... so they lied

like normal. I hope the State of Hawaii calls McCain a liar in a statement soon
because its bad for tourism

6. Good point there

someone should contact them and get a statement..

You can literally walk all the way around the Islands without stepping on another person's property, might have to climb a few cliffs and hop over some volcanic Magma flows :)

7. There is a beach "owned" by the USNavy which is technically private.

Was he on that one?

If so, he was pandering to the troops. If not, he was ignoring the troops.:7

8. Bellows Beach....

I spent part of my childhood there... a lovely place :)

[elehhhhna]

10. OMG is it named after Doctor Bellows?

[Lisa0825]

13. LMAO!

I don't think so, but who knows? I actually looked it up recently... I guess I have been feeling nostalgic, and I wanted to see if I could rent a cabin there, as the child of a Coastie, but no can do. Maybe I'll just go back to the island and visit on the weekend... I doubt it would measure up to my childhood memories anyway... back then it was so sparsely used... there was so much room to play, like each cabin really did have a private beach, but close enough to find some kids to run with. My best childhood memories are of Christmas on that beach.

9. Even if he did go there (he didn't) it's not private.

There are no private beaches in Hawaii. While Bellow AFB beach is restricted for military use, it is open to the public on weekends.
