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.

Ahhh, the islands in August. I spent 28 summers up there. Generation ‘Me’ ruined it.
Thanks to the unchecked proliferation of harbor seals it’s tough to even catch a bluefish anymore. My brother says he gave up. Too many lost lures from seals grabbing his catch before he could beach it.
So what? The bastards still re-elected him.
Stay there...ASSHAT!!!
Yahoo is getting some push-back after all of their liberal nonsense for years.
And they richly deserve it.
Hope he bumps onto a Great White that likes dark meat.
Didn’t know he was back from his homeland of Kenya yet. Oh well, the fewer days he spends in the WH, the better for everyone.
he looks like he already is wearing a wet suit
Every spokesman for the proletariat deserves to take opulent 5-star vacations five times a year —at least. As a member of the proletariat, it sure improves my morale. /s
-— The comments on Yahoo are very anti-Obama. Interesting. -—
Thanks. That made me feel better. I’ve gone through the first 50 and they’re 100% anti-Obama
How would we know the difference between work and vacation?
