I really don't care where he goes or what he does. He's the line in the sand. Always has been, always will be. He's a smug hateful person who never should have been a public servant much less a POTUS.

Even if President Obama cares more about surfing in Hawaii during the winter time going to Waimea Bay to catch them 30 foot waves, is still being noticed by the transition team can you figure just because the heads of each department are being changed with the new Administration majority of the people working at the partment of State pentagon Navy and other services are going to be the same. Hopefully China will give it back. it's interesting that in 1997 the officer magazine warned about China being the sleeping giant that was waking up. We've seen how the build those sand bars into islands that could land a B-52. Now they put surface-to-air missiles and anti-missile systems on the island or Islands. Hopefully the US will stay with his flotilla 12 miles out. I've said in the past that point we should throw a rimpac 2017 in the South China Sea. And I'm not kidding!

Good timing on there part. The President is going on vacation and with all the talk about Russia, we can't risk a real response. Hopefully we weren't foolish enough to be using anything really important technically while the Chinese were in the area.
