WASHINGTON (AP) — Eager for a break from Washington, President Barack Obama is returning to his summer vacation spot of choice, the Massachusetts island of Martha's Vineyard, a day earlier than originally planned for more than two weeks of hoped-for rest coupled with extended pursuit of his favorite leisure sport: golf.
Obama apparently was so anxious to join the hordes of lawmakers, lobbyists and others who turn Washington into a political ghost town every August that he moved up his departure. He was leaving the White House on Friday afternoon with his wife, Michelle, and teenage daughters Malia and Sasha, instead of on Saturday as initially planned.
Obama plans no public events during the 17 days he will spend on the island situated south of Cape Cod and known as a summer hangout for the wealthy. The vacation will be his sixth on the Vineyard since taking office in 2009. Obama skipped a trip to the island during his 2012 re-election campaign.

Vacation #40?
Sure, why not?
It’s not like he is the one actually does the work or makes the decisions in the Oval Office.
If the shadowy cartel which snuck him into office needs him to read something off the teleprompter — they can put him in front of the cameras wherever he is.
No one deserves a vacation among the 1% more than Obola.
Yes, the story goes on to make a big deal of last year’s interruptions. Ferguson and a beheading which he commented on right before teeing off.
Darn. And I was sure he would vacation in Ferguson this time.
Lazy bastard.
Can we get him to just stay there?
I hear there are nice golf courses in the area.
Just sayin’.
Or Baltimore.
Too stupid to do something different.
Yeah. You deserve a vacation. You gave Iran and Cuba what they wanted. You set things in motion to destroy the peaceful life of the suburbs. You let millions into the country that we will have to pay for. You did very little about the savage subhumans of IS. Go on vacation and leave the pen and phone behind.
Too bad Teddy’s dead.They could have taken a drive together.
instead of 2 weeks, wish it were 18 months, then a lifetime of retirement, never to reappear in public or on tv or on the internet. Just hang out on the golf course. That’d be great.
Gone into hiding because last night at the debate, his name and the word “failure” came up way too many times for a hardened narcissist like himself.
How many 60’s radical commies actually play golf?
Look at the bright side. At least he is saving the taxpayer some money by traveling with his family. In previous trips, the Obamas have used separate flights on AF1.
The comments on Yahoo are very anti-Obama. Interesting.
Did anyone notice that the little king had his birthday dinner last week and the Mooch was not in attendance? Haven’t seen much of her lately.
Some advice for Obama. To really enjoy swimming off the island put on a swim suit that makes you look like a seal and smear your body with fish blood. That way you will have a great experience with the seals in the area. Don’t worry about the Great White Sharks. They leave the seals alone.
