I had to laugh this morning, when on Fox News, one of the reporters exclaimed “In a rare occurrence, Obama will be taking time from his vacation, to return to the White House, to discuss the Ferguson and Iraq issues....”
A “rare occurrence” to leave a vacation...yep. For Obama, it is. That’s all his 6 years in office have been...one BIG LONG VACATION, that he occasionally takes leave from, so it “appears” he’s doing something.

‘Unusual’? Well-certainly newsworthy! Don’t ever get in between him and his vacation.

What’s not so rare is that he’s only doing it to televise a speech to annoy people that aren’t Holder’s.

His daughter had to be back for girls night out.

As the writer well knows, there is no comparison between “vacationing” at a home equipped to function in every way like the White House and staying at various luxury villas across the country, golfing and eating ice cream all day.

Break,? From Vakay?
Looks like he ditched Mooch and the skids for some private Reggie time.

Really? Did he do this supposed break for secret reasons, or did he say why he was doing it?

This break was planned before the recent problems in Iraq and Ferguson. There is another purpose that is hidden from us. Someone could win a Pulitzer (if he were a GOP POTUS) if they could uncover the truth. My gut is something like treatment for a medical issue that he is trying to keep hidden.

He wanted to get away from Moochelle.
Who can blame him?

Most of them involve President George W. Bush, who spent a lot of time at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, almost treating it at times as a second White House. Bush's ranch was better than a second White House. It was a secure fortress where Bush could do anything that he could do in D.C.
The Secret Service loved it. The press hated it.

Or signing all those illegal executive orders?

His daughter had to be back for girls night out.
This was my first thought also.
This is cover for his daughter’s need to be back in DC for some reason.
