Make No Mistake. Let Me Be Clear. I Will Not Rest Until…
Let us all hope the Obamas enjoy their Martha’s Vineyard vacation. What’s not to enjoy, a cynic might add, about a 10 day hideaway in a private estate said to rent to most mortals for around $50,000 a week? But since I’m not a cynic, I won’t ask. But I do have one request. Can [...]
