President 'no comment' Biden will now interrupt upcoming vacay long enough to visit Maui

Doug P. | 3:49 PM on August 16, 2023

Earlier this week at the end of one of President Biden's frequent mini-vacations it was reported that the president would be taking some time to rest after all that time in the sun at the beach by spending a week at Lake Tahoe starting this Friday.

The White House must have been feeling the PR hit from Biden's previous "no comment" reaction after being asked in Delaware about the Maui fires, so now it's being reported that the president will in fact be going to Maui after all:

CBS News has learned that President Biden will be traveling to Maui on Monday.

"Cleanup on aisle Bad Optics!"

The president and first lady will be meeting with first responders, survivors and officials, in the wake of deadly wildfires on the island.

Maybe while Biden's in that area he can stay at the multi-million dollar oceanfront Oahu mansion that the Obamas bought in 2015 even though it's going to be underwater because of climate change very soon.

Joe is so caring, he has to be bullied into leaving his vacation to visit a disaster area where Americans died and lost everything. https://t.co/uLMhvR2QCK

He was embarrassed into postponing yet another vacation he had planned, 4 days after his last 10 day vacation (while Hawaii was burning and people were dying) and 4 days after the 10 day vacation right before that one. https://t.co/tha7EayJNT
