Fickle winds here at the great orange satan...can't we get some love and support for ol' Cindy?
One visitor Obama definitely plans to avoid: anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan. Remember her?
The mother of a fallen U.S. soldier dogged President George W. Bush during his summer vacations at his ranch near Crawford, Texas. With a new White House occupant, the activist is on the island to push the president to end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"While Obama was golfing yesterday, four American soldiers died in Afghanistan," read a flier announcing a Thursday news conference. "There are no vacations for body bags."
During the Bush presidency, Sheehan and her corps of anti-war protesters lined up near Bush's ranch to protest the war and to honor the memory of her son. It eventually became something of a media circus.

More commentary for the diary police:
The quoted passage from the article really speaks for itself, along with the snarky intro, if you ask me. There, is that better now :)
No, seriously, I think the various comments already on this diary already epitomize my feelings on the matter:
Yes, Cindy is a goofball
Damn, she is dedicated
The whole beam of timber in your eye thing
The whole politicized media sycophant confirmation bias thing
etc.
Thanks for writing my diary for me in the comments.
