Joe Biden may portray himself as a lunch-bucket Democrat with working-class roots, but when it comes to the holidays, the vice president-elect parties like a Kennedy.


Biden and his family caused a stir Wednesday aboard the high-speed ferry from Hyannis, Mass., as the Delaware senator made his way to his traditional Thanksgiving getaway, a rented $4 million home on the eastern end of trendy Nantucket Island.

He didn't buy the home, he rented it. I've rented a $5 million oceanfront home for a family affair and at the time I made about $50K per year. The weekend rental was under $2500 and the house slept about 20 people. It was actually a very good deal.

Exactly. Our family rents a six bedroom home on the oceanfront every summer. It's really economical because you don't have to spend for restaurant meals every day.

This is a very funny thread! I wonder if Newsmax also reported the price for a weekend rental split among several adults? No?

Now, had he participated properly with the "spread the wealth" theory he supported during the campaign, half of the people on CD could have rented a condo on the beach for the holidays. It's all about sharing........
