THE SEAN HANNITY SHOW

Hillary..."Just Like Us?" In a first since announcing her presidential candidacy in April, Hillary Clinton will finally sit down for a nationally televised interview airing on CNN tonight. After months of dodging the press (and roping them like cattle in a New Hampshire parade) Hillary - the candidate of the common man-has finally mustered up the courage to be held accountable by the press. The only problem? Hillary is being interviewed by CNN's Brianna Keilar who-just a few weeks ago-was a guest at the wedding of the director for grassroots engagement for the Clinton presidential campaign. How is it possible for Hillary to receive a fair and unbiased interview when the reporter interviewing her was just hobnobbing with her staffers last month? In fact, when Hillary made her infamous Chipotle stop, it was Keilar who fawned over Clinton's ability to be "just like us." I wonder if the CNN reporter will be able to get to the bottom of Clinton's lie about her favorite flavor of ice cream. A Tradition That Needs To Change There are some traditions that need to change. One of which is the Presidential summer vacation. I don't begrudge anyone a vacation. I know how important it is to rest and recharge your batteries. Spending time with friends and family is the key to being at your best when you're back in the office. The American people knew this as well so they built Camp David as a Presidential retreat where the Chief Executive could spend some time away from Washington. However, The Boston Globe is reporting that President Obama is returning to Martha's Vineyard this August for his scheduled vacation. This has become something of a tradition for the Obamas, and, in keeping with that tradition, the costs are expected to be millions of dollars. The flight alone to Martha's Vineyard runs taxpayers just over $1 million. The American people have spent millions securing the homes of presidents. It's why President George W. Bush often retreated to his ranch in Crawford. It was easy and as inexpensive as possible to retreat home. I said this earlier, I don't begrudge the President some downtime but am leery of some of the extravagance of a two-week vacation in a $12 million, seven-bedroom vacation home on Martha's Vineyard... it seems a little excessive.
