Cokie Roberts attacks Obama for going to Hawaii instead of Myrtle Beach
By John Amato Saturday Aug 09, 2008 6:20pm
Even though Cokie Roberts knows that Obama's grandmother lives in Hawaii, he's still acting like an elitist snob for taking a vacation instead of some place common people go, like Myrtle Beach, SC. Hey, it's a party town. I think Obama should have Cokie make all his vacation plans from now on.

Roberts: ...going off this week I know his grandmother lives in Hawaii and I know Hawaii is a state, but it has the look of him going off to some sort of foreign, exotic place. He should be at Myrtle Beach and if he's going to take a vacation at this time. I just think this is not the time to do that.
We're all so happy that Cokie is a concern troll and hey, she knows Hawaii is a state and all. Wow, what a concession. It's so exotic, visiting your grandmother. Really, it's just more of the chattering class talking amongst themselves. Who cares where Obama goes on vacation except for the wanking elites? Are they bothered by the fact that McCain takes off every weekend and goes to one of his eight homes? Of course that's not elitist at all, is it, Cokie?
UPDATE: (Nicole) In addition to his elitist vacation spot, the McCain campaign and the RNC put out a mocking "Barack Obama's Hawaii Travel Guide" that, among other things, bashes Obama for attending a private school on scholarship there. Jon Perr has it.

Cokie and her sister Boozie are at Myrtle Beach ALL the time.
Um normal people do go to hawaii those who can afford it along with everyone from the western USA. I mean being from NY i got to myrtle beach or FL, FL is like a hop skip and a jump just as the caribbean which is just off the coast we can go there as easily as people in Cali can go to hawaii so whats the big deal. There are a ton of hawaii hotels that are affordable it's just the airfare to get there thats crazy but if you ask me i rather go to the caribbean a lot more to choose from and see.
You think we can get any pettier than this? Probably.
Cokie (Sniff) Roberts must think that even though Hawaii is a US state, that she can try to apply the exotic, foreigner, "he isn't one of us" themes by choosing to attack him this way.
At least she's consistent. What a Bitch!
Say it all with me people.
"What a bitch!"
Good God, this woman has become David Broder in drag.
Here is a multimillionaire acting as if she speaks for people who hold hourly wage jobs.
Cokie .. you need a vacation .. a very long one .. OK?
so what hawaii = exotic?
man, wonder what she thinks of bhutan or libya?
This had to have been one of he stupidest lamest things statements uttered on teevee today.....shit, maybe ever. Desperate or what?
wtf happened to her?
Maybe 20 years ago when I listened to NPR she was a trusted voice.
Money changes everything?
Menopause changes everything?
.. anyone ???
Sometimes I feel like some of these reporters are getting paid a little extra under the table money to report things a certain way. They cannot seriously sit at home and come up with this silly stuff. Somebody needs to ask them what planet are they on to expect to get paid as a reporter and this is the best you can do. Unless the GOP was actually paying you for this stuff.
First off, I would take Hawaii over SC any time.
Second, the guy grew up in Hawaii. Going home instead of redneck heaven is now elitist?
I am tired of having to cater constantly to the insecurities of the South...
Gee Cokie(or should we call you Cookie?) isn't Hawaii
part of the U.S.A.How typical of the looser republican
trolls to criticize Obama going home to visit his Grandmother.
I believe she is a born in the USA Granny. Whats the matter
Kokie isn't she white enough for you? Is that the
best you've got? Must be rough knowing the republican
party is so done you don't even have to put a fork in it.
Such it up girl you folks are losers.
Only elitists vacation with their Grandmothers. Real, salt-of-the-earth, people you wanna have a beer with go to Kennebunkport.

Maybe we can't trust NPR either.
pissed off patricia @ 9:
I talked to Amato about this one this morning. My dad owns a condo in Hawaii, an investment he made with some friends many years ago. It's actually less expensive for me to vacation there than any place else because all we have to pay is airfare. No hotel fees, no car rental fees (my dad has bikes and we use bus passes), no overpriced restaurant, because we cook in the kitchen (which pleases my finicky kids to no end).
Does that make me an elitist?
Ya know, I hear them Hawaiians gots a diffrunt word fer everything!
frankly i don't give a damn what cokie says. it's a ridiculous assessment/comment....on sundays i hope to be enlightened/stimulated by longer discussion news guess not....i'll watch the olympics instead geeze
Don't worry Cokie. Once McCain wins he and VP Romney will be selling Hawaii to the Chinese to pay off our huge debt.
Every Monday morning, on NPR radio, they haul in Cokie Roberts to regale listeners with her musings on politics while a largely deferential Renee Montaine allows her to speak unchallenged.
She is not always as dreadful as those comments about Obama's vacation plans, sometimes she has even made sense, but it seems her attempts at the "elitist" canard here are as comical as ever.
Sometimes ya just gotta laugh at these Beltway bobbleheads.
Cokie, you ignorant slut...
Glad I wasn't watching - my tv would need repairs! She's so lame and has been a 'has been' for years.
Only a nitwit would complain about this and attempt to make political gain
from it. Obama's grand mama is in hawaii, thus the hawaii destination.
what america needs worse than anything is new pundits. the old one are
getting rather, well, you know, 'old', and worn out. Rather.
Cokie is a sour, shriveled prune of a woman -- seemingly frozen in time in the year 1982. I bet she sucks on lemons for fun.
Elitist? They adore SPAM there, for pity's sake.
The guy needs a break - and with the olympics going on - it is now the perfect time
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGeVtzqFlUY
The blogosphere makes the elite punditry class like Ms. Roberts seem like the out of touch busybodies that they are.
I lost all respect--ALL respect--for Cokie Roberts when she trashed "Fahrenheit 911" without having seen it. Yes, she sat there on the TV, sneering about Michael Moore, and admitted that she had not seen it.
Jackass.
Where the fuck is "Myrtle Beach"? Sounds like one of those snooty-assed, uptight, whitebread asshole places to me.
Someone might point out to Cokie that some consider her hometown New Orleans a foreign exotic place.
What a fooking stretch to try to say something bad about BHO.
Does she concoct her weekly stupidity herself or does she have help.
Let's see if she repeats this one on NPR Monday morning.
Someone should tell her to F off
Stupid little B I T C H
THAT's the one: myrtle beach...
i heard this and commented earlier but couldn't remember the location...
that was an amazingly disingenuous thing to say... completely misleading...
imagine that.
CatAtomic @ 30:
It's where the non-elitists go to get luxury condos in lieu of visiting their grandmothers.
Obama should go to the white tower. It could be a Robert Jordan book. Feck off.
fantasy +1 8)
I mention the YMCA because in 2002, I had complained about what I believed to be prostitution, facilitated by staff there. And when I informed the supervisor at Title Guaranty, her response was to leave well enough alone, after I informed her that I had, in my opinion, angered some people there. My subsequent report to the police department was investigated by. the police calling the YMCA and asking them if my suspicions were true. I think you can see what position this left me in. In my lay opinion, this was a sloppy and dangerous way to initiate and conclude an investigation.
I have applied for many positions since my termination, and have only worked sporadically in spite of my efforts. I have registered with many staffing agencies - Olympia , Hawaii Staffing, Snelling, and Hawaii Temp, CTA Staffing which is now Bishop & Company, Manpower, Kelly, and POI. I have not worked a complete week and have not been contacted at all by some. I registered at Altres in 2004, and was not called in a years time before I returned. There, I was terminated for " not being pro active". There is no confidentiality law here, and I believe this also has worked against me. It - confidentiality - has been frequently cited by my former employer's agents and state officials, only to protect themselves and facilitate their deceptive practices.
I mostly use the public library to use the Internet, i.e. write letters and do research. Needless to say, this is not the most secure environment to do this type of activity. And I have had problems at this library with the computers and the staff. At the library, I have seen the text change when I am typing, without commands initiated by me. The printer is connected to the computer at the librarians' desk. On one occasion, I was told by a security guard that a librarian had complained about me harassing her because I asked for her name to report her behavior.
Since this is the only avenue I have been given, I have asked the district offices of the DOL to investigate by CASPA, Sept. 2005, and have asked for an investigation for discrimination due to the whistle blower aspect of the matter. I believe this will be my only chance at a modicum of justice. But I will always believe that more realistically this situation can be defined by, 18 USC 241, 242 and 245.
Hawaii, I now entertain, is a state where the dollar is God, and workers are only a necessary evil to facilitate that gain. Where the Director of Labor and Industrial Relations, Nelson Befitel, has unashamedly professed his desire, and that of the state to relieve the department of any obligation to penalize businesses for infractions and, I can see where the natural sequence would be to alleviate any scrutiny that would expose abuse of power by the states employees. It is no wonder; I have experienced what I have. All too often, in the news here, the term "outsider" is given to any entity that would look at what is practiced here. But there is a GOD that sees all and will affect justice for the oppressed.

LETTER SENT TO RICHARD E. FAIRFAX.
November 7, 2005
Richard E. Fairfax, Director
Directorate of Enforcement Programs(DEP)
U.S . Department of Labor
200 Constitution Avenue N.W.
Washington , D.C. 20210
Dear Sir,
For the past two years at every step in this long railroad, from my initial complaint filed at the EEOC, and subsequent to that, the HCRC; the United States Commission on Civil Rights; the Department of Justice; and finally through no effort of my own, having it wind up at the Regional OSHA offices in San Francisco, I have steadily maintained that I submitted a written complaint at the state HIOSH offices, here in Honolulu.
I was told that much of what I sent to the DOJ had been sent to the San Francisco OSHA offices. Evidently this written HIOSH complaint was not among the papers.
Imagine my surprise when I got this letter from Mr. Traenkner, informing me that I should not have made this a verbal complaint. I retrieved the copy of the written complaint, made for me while at the HIOSH offices, just to convince myself that those in power are the ones mistaken, and now I believe with my whole being, they are in actuality, deceitful and dishonest, practiced at covering up embarrassing incidents, and downright criminal.
I am making a request to you for a review by your national offices, where hopefully someone unbiased, with integrity, will do the right thing. There was a Ms.Hirai in San Francisco that said she could see the discrimination in this matter. Too bad it was not she that conducted the investigation. I only hope it is coincidence that there is a Hirai here in Honolulu that is a lawyer and involved in the real estate business, and a lawyer formerly in the firm representing my former employer.
Throughout this situation there have been relationships, I have noticed in my opposition, which include professional, academic and familial. It has long been my suspicion that those ensconced in the cronyism here in Hawaii have at each step facilitated the lack of effort in this matter. I am now sure of what I have long suspected. This cover-up goes much further than what happens here in Hawaii.
Sincerely,
Vernon Balmer Jr.

Jay..your brain must be the same size as your penis and Obama's! You liberals are all foul mouth idiots!!!!!!!
The GOP got nothin. That's why they make ridiculous statements like this on TV. Obama as an elitist (as opposed to the filthy rich McCains) is one of the most unbelievable leaps of logic to come out of this whole campaign, but when it's pushed forward by airheads like Cokie, I'm not surprised it remains credible to some folks.
Cokie - you are so pathetic and way TOO OLD! You, like John McSame, need to retire already!
Cokie, keep on burning your bridges... you won't be welcomed to Hawaii in this lifetime.
Barack was born here!! He has a Grandmother, who is ailing, and with whom he had already foregone an annual visit because of the primary. He has a wonderful sister who lives here. He has many long time friends and schoolmates here. And Hawaii is not "exotic" whatever Coke head thinks that term means. We do speak English, wear clothes from JC Pennys and Shop at Longs. We even know how to drive. More importantly, this place, is as Democratic as you can get as a state. We all who live here have learned how to live with and for each other. Such a shame that Cokie has chosen to demean all that we try so hard to hold. I think, if she isn't one of the elite herself, that her Grandfather or Great-Grandfather would be tempted to slap her up along side the head. She deserves no less.
Jeez, I've been to Myrtle Beach, and the place is done up to look like the Civil War never happened. Maybe Cokie likes to feel like she's the Mistress of Tara when she goes on vacation, but you know, that might not work everywhere!
I don't recall Cokie criticizing the President Boosh on his excessive use of vacations during his presidency.. including his current one in forced-abortion-loving Communist China. Why, the only thing that got our current President off of vacation was a bogus bill to prolong the life of a brain-dead woman on life-support. This one woman meant more to the Boosh than all the people that drowned during Katrina.
Ms. Roberts, your prejudice slip is showing.
DC @ 11:
Ya know, I often feel the same way--especially when articles like this, and the one about Obama not being fat enough, appear. These so-called "journalists" must be getting paid a little extra to want to risk appearing so f*ckingly stupid.
I'm glad we don't get teevee.
PepsiCokie is just so insightfull-of-it.MountainMan23 @ 10:
PLEASE don't blame this b*tch's comments on menopause. She's just a nasty sour faced and PREJUDICED human being.

Maybe he was checking on the Hawaii schools. I read here [DetentionSlip.org] that some of their schools don't allow "non-Hawaiians" and are drawing controversy.
Anything, no matter how stupid, to promote some pathetic right wing talking point.
Cokehead Roberts is a despicable media WHORE; why does NPR (who I long ago gave up on) still use this status quo shill for "commentary".
With 300 million people in the country, they can't find better journalists? (Well, the Rethugs couldn't seem to find a better Pres candidate).
Nancy @ 29:
It's been a long time for me and her too. Cheney and Bush must have used a little FISA action to slap her in line.

One more reason I'll be smiling and relieved when I split the mortal coil.
You can be this biased and warped and still be considered a journalist? Things sure have changed.
She knows it's a state, but it seems like some kind of exotic foreign place?
Clueless beltway wankers.
If you want rich elite, look no further than Cindy McCain, the beer baroness, the queen of quaff, the sultanette of suds.
saw her speak-with hubby as well-at a convention on the big island. HMM, free trip for one hour info-free blather...what an elitist gig-talking to a bunch of fat, white mid-western bankers
jayneen @ 40:
Short for republican.
Look at that picture and tell me she is not a demonic, flesh-eating zombie.
Cokie Roberts (born December 27, 1943) is an American Emmy Award-winning journalist and bestselling author blah blah blah blah.

That's something we have in common. We'll both be relieved when you . . . unzip your DNA?
Such a bitch. Life can be, and cokie IS a bitch.
Does she hear herself? she seems to be the female version of that prick bob novak.
Both disgusting low lifes.
She reminds me of a Bulldog Celestrial Teapot.
After two years of campaigning I think Obama is entitled to go anywhere he pleases.
No, she's George Will in a wig. Never could stand her--pure example of what connections will do for your career.
she really said: Hawai'i is foreign.
bet they like her punk hairdo, too. (prolly coverin' up a nipple ring?)
Widespread @ 54:
Glad your pleased I'll no longer be a burden on your whatever it is your into.
Imagine what they'd have said if he HAD gone to Myrtle Beach. Almost certainly, it'd probably be something about how he turned his back on his grandmother. She lives in Hawaii, don't you know that's got plenty of beaches? Then they'd talk about how it was going to destroy any support for Obama among senior citizens.
Long walk, short pier, Cokie. There's something you can investigate.
Come on Cokie, it's off season!
I think she forces herself to come up with something ignorant every once in a while so she appears to be "fair and balanced".
Can you believe that Obama vacationing in Hawaii. Come on George, we'll miss our tee off time at the Kennebunkport Golf and country club.
And if he had gone to Myrtle Beach Cokie et al would be questioning his compasion, if not racism, for not visiting his white grandmother who did afterall help raise him. The pundits get him either way, just like the repubs and wingnuts. Truth is it feels like some people are searching hard for a reason to not like this fellow so they can have a reason not to support, vote, or even cover him fairly in the news...now I wonder what the real reason is for their discomfort?
Typical uptight Roman Catholic woman.
...I don't think the Hawaiians will be giving Cokie any Leis made of flowers...some other substance maybe, but not flowers.
L.A. Confidential @ 64:
What is it about Catholics where they feel obligated to project and inflict their own guilt out onto everyone else?
I live in Hawaii. Cokie's point is moronic.
So even though Obama grew up mostly in Hawaii, has family and old friends here, and Hawaii is as much a U.S. state as any other, he is elitist for going here for vacation? Hawaii is unique in many respects, but jeez. What, is she implying that it's not real America where real Americans live? I think many here would beg to differ.
crazylikeafox @ 46:
Indeed. I don't get why the puditocracy is still carrying water for these lamest of lame ducks. Your explanation is as good as I can come up with.
OMG...did someone remember to tell him not to get caught windsurfing in Hawaii. It would end his candidacy on the spot!
Of course not a peep from her when Bush took a month vacation in Crawford back in 2001.
Yoooo Cokie! When were you last in New Orleans? You know where you are from? You know where dad Hale and mom Lindy represented in the US Congress for decades. How many Habitat houses have you driven a nail? You know common place in AMERICA..not exotic or elitiest just the 9th ward, or Chalmette or St Bernard.....hell even Mid City ....Cokie the day you remember your damn roots is the day you can comment on Barack or anyone else about where they go to visit family be in Hawaii or Kennebunkport. You are nothing more than a DC hack.
Obama was raised by his grandmother and his mother died from ovarian cancer. His grandmother is the only close family he has left and he goes to see her for some down time and "Cokie" that dried up prune of a bitch has a problem with this???? WTF!
How dare Cokey say that. Since when is it wrong for Obama to visit his Grandma. She is old and not well. Cokey should be ashamed of herself. Hawaii is a nice place that many many americans like to visit. Why is it OK that an elitist like McCain can have 9 homes everywhere and $520 shoes and you a democrat go off on Obama. I would have gone to Hawaii instead of M. Beach which has nothing over Hawaii (his grandmother). Why is the media beating the hell out of him.
Funny thing is, Myrtle Beach ISN'T a place for common people. Its made up almost entirely of pricey private resorts, expensive exclusive golf clubs, and overly expensive tourist restaurants. Recently, in fact, Myrtle Beach tried to ban motorcycle rides through the city because they felt it brought an "undesirable" element to the city, and the prices for a home there (pre-mortgage meltdown) was ridiculous. Everyone who lives in SC ends up going somewhere else for vacation.
You of course , Dopey Roberts , having run in so many presidential campaigns yourself , know when the proper time is to visit family members..........
I'm sure Obama appreciates your great advice , dipshit.............
The wife and I are going to Kauai in January. Woohoo, I'm part of the elite!! Who woulda thunk.
So even though Obama grew up mostly in Hawaii, has family and old friends here, and Hawaii is as much a U.S. state as any other, he is elitist for going here for vacation?
cokie's answer would be "yes," oddly.

You are spot on. No matter what Obama says or does, it's damned if you do and damned if you don't. BTW, Cokie bitch, shouldn't Pretzeldent Boosh have canceled his remaining time at the Olympics and rushed home to attend to the crisis in Georgia?
Anyone with the name "Cokie" should not be talking about exotic.
Cokie Roberts and Juan Williams are the reasons I stopped giving money to NPR.

Hey Friend, Am catholic and a Obama supporter. We all are not uptight. Don't forget that these people work in DC and drink the cool aid. Please don't blame everything on us Catholics. Besides Hagee already said we are going to hell. I guess we'll have a lot of company.
Is Cokie living up to that wacky name of hers? We tolerated George Bush going to his fake ranch clearing twigs and acting all swagger-y, so why can't Obama go visit an actual relative in Hawaii?
"I know Hawaii is a state"
I smell a new t-shirt design!
Charles @ 80:
It sure does. Only the elite country club republican hierarchy would try, with a straight face, to paint Obama as elitist. They're just trying to throw anything at Obama and hope it sticks.
Cokie in this case is apparently an adjective.
Below the belt? Yes. Proudly so.

And we're talking about where he's going on vacation.

I think I'll start watching the corpro-Christian programs on at the same times. With a drink in hand.
Why would anyone want to vacation in Myrtle Beach. There isn't anything worthwhile there.
bitch
I'm breathlessly awaiting Coked-up Roberts' next pronouncement ..............That Obama should spend his entire vacation hanging out at the mall
This guy gets ridiculously criticized for no reason. Why should he vacation in a state that flies the Confederate flag?
Anyway, I just got a text message from the Obama campaign that he's going to announce his VP between now and the convention via text message. I think that's a pretty cool idea. You can get Obama updates via text by texting 62262.
L.A. Confidential @ 59:
Just kidding, mate. Don't go nihilistic over something as worthless as Cokie.
Uh guys, what's up with all of the sexism. I agree that Roberts' comment is absurd. Hawaii might be one of the most conventional places to travel in the U.S for a vacation, but can't that be expressed without resorting to misogynist epitaphs?

Roberts tresspassed into "freedom fries" territory with this observation, and I think it's great. It's just another in the long line of unsubstantial accusations uttered by a GOP apparatchik that serves no purpose other than to make Obama look good, and the republican party appear fairly ridiculous.
I can tell you Cokie's family certainly doesn't summer with the common folk. One of the most connected elitist families around. Who is she kidding?

Oh Cokie please! Hawaii is not an exotic destination anymore. Last winter when i was going to Maui for a wedding, I mentioned it to a grocery checker, and she and her family, and half the other clerks working that day had all been to Hawaii half a dozen times. In fact, it is easier for me to fly from Seattle to Hawaii than it is for me to fly to my hometown of New Orleans. Girl, what would your daddy say about today's political climate?

Now that's a funny line. I've lived in Myrtle Beach and in SC in general and i have to tell you, being in Myrtle Beach is more foreign to me than most other states. The locals can hardly be understood and they are about as fanatical about their christianity as the Taliban is about Islam.
The evil thinking that Cokie Roberts has been spewing is starting to show up on her externally, I mean, just take a close look at that face.
Cookie,
Cash the check, go back behind the gates and STFU.
Bitter Bud Hussein @ 87:
But does she know it was a state when he was born there? I've heard several American smarties calling in on Washington Journal and saying it wasn't.
Of course, most likely they don't know that John McCain was born in Panama. Which last I checked wasn't a state.
liberalbiasboy @ 113:
Whats strange about it? You think I'm the only one who's ever noticed the Catholic Religion centers around self guilt?
I think not.
Hawaii may have the highest cost of living of any U.S. state...
but at least (Obama) didnt go to that owl worshipping,..naky'dancin',.. human sacrificing,.. Bohemian Grove party dethfest!
If Cokie really wanted to bring attention to the fact that Obama is an elitist she would mention that (Obama is an elitist) ...becuz his wife is a CFR leader/member ...not because he has relatives in Hawaii! WTF?....#$*!@

Bitter Bud Hussein @ 87:
HAH .. Picture of Cokie with those words "I know Hawaii is a State" under her pic... I'd order one right now and wear it.
Off hand, I can't think of anything MORE elitist than visiting one's Hawaiian grandmother---in HAWAII, no less!

why the fuck do we not see this kind of garbage levelled against McCain? Jeez. Obama is a decent man, McCain has lots of things about him that stink to high heaven--and still they give him a pass.
