Labor Day marks the end of summer and, along with it, the highly photogenic vacations of the first family. No more pictures of President Barack Obama riding a bike or swinging a golf club before taking his daughters for ice cream.
Obama’s vacation time was hardly your average American’s week at the lake. The family stayed in a house they rented for $25,000 per week on an island known as a playground for celebrities and CEOs, their every move shadowed by Secret Service and a press pool. They capped it off with a few days at the presidential retreat at Camp David, world’s most exclusive collection of rustic cabins.

Reading about the Dear Leader and his glamorous family will keep me warm in my cardboard box under the overpass.
what color is the sky in pia’s universe? i have more respect for a hard working illegal sending money home to support his family than the entire family of leeches who now reside in the white house.
Politico is Democratic propaganda.
Isn’t it cute that they’re trying so hard? The media, I mean.
I know you had a warning, but geez, how delusional was THAT?!? So “the wealthy trappings of the presidency”, Air Force One, and the Martha’s Vineyard vaca are middle class? Oh yeah, they go out for ice cream and have a dog - I guess that’s what seals the deal.
Holy moley.
I thought it was rented at $35k/wk but whatever it’s more than our vacation on this holiday weekend. Today’s vacation highlights were the family going to the parade (free) and me staying home to pay bills.
Anyone here anything from this empty suit on the 89 American troops who died in battle in Afganistan during July and August? I THOUGHT SO! what a disgrace!

About Me After graduating from Kenyon College, I headed to D.C. and have been in journalism ever since. I've enjoyed a broad scope: politics, fashion, society, arts, food, travel. My most recent employment was as cultural editor of the New York Sun. Since the paper folded last fall, I've been looking at American culture from a different angle. With so many news sources, so many voices, and all of it streaming by so fast, we tend to breeze past matters of taste. This blog attempts to pause — and lay praise or blame at the feet of those who deserve it. Who are today's tastemakers? I'm also looking for ideas that address wealth, luxury, and class — which are changing by the second.
“The first family you can identify with”
More Orwellian language. It’s really: “The first family you can’t identify with.
