Obamas to spend rare weekend at Camp David retreat

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama is foregoing his usual round of weekend golf at a Washington suburban military base. Instead, he and his family are choosing what is for them a rare woodland getaway: a weekend at the presidential mountaintop retreat of Camp David.

The family was leaving Friday for the isolated and heavily guarded hideaway in Maryland's Catoctin Mountains. The White House said the family weekend had already been planned and that he would return to the White House on Sunday.

The escape from the White House caps a fierce week of foreign policy eruptions, highlighted by a downed commercial jet liner over Ukraine and Israel's ground offensive into Gaza, as well as maneuvers over how to address a surge of Central American migrants at the U.S. border.

I was thinking the Obamas don't stay at Camp David because it isn't opulent enough.

This is weird. Something must be afoot, he never goes to Camp David. Weird I tell ya

I agree something's up. Obama has let it be known in the past that he doesn't like Camp David. So why, suddenly, is he, the Mooch and the Moochlettes dashing off there. Somebody need to detox out of the public eye?
