It's going to be hot tubs, basketball, tennis and golf for the first family this summer, having set plans for a 16-day vacation in Martha's Vineyard, Mass., on a $12 million, 10-acre forested estate on the southwestern corner of the island.
Reports from the Bay State indicate that President Obama and his family will vacation August 9-24 at the 8,100-square foot, beachfront home of a Democratic donor that includes a pool, hot tub, basketball and tennis court.
It will be new digs for the first family, who have summered on tony Martha's Vineyard every year of Obama's presidency, except in 2012 when he was running for reelection.
The Vineyard Gazette reported that the White House has no major or public events planned for the almost three weeks, typical at this stage of a presidential vacation.
The Cape Cod Times reported that several local stores typically visited by the president and his family during the past five Obama trips are making plans to welcome them, including famous Mad Martha's Ice Cream which last year developed a new flavor called “Barack My World,” espresso ice cream, macadamia nuts and caramel.
Obama is expected to be accompanied by top aide Valerie Jarrett, a regular summer resident of Oak Bluffs, one of the island's bigger towns.
It will be among the longest vacations Obama has taken and four times longer than the average 3.8 day vacation the typical American family takes.
I hope he chokes to death on a macadamia nut.
The first Nero played the harp while Rome burned.
The First Negro plays golf................
We would all be better off as a country if he did NOTHING AT ALL.
Where’s Occupy?
Pray America wakes up
Obama has had 180 golf days since taking office. All conservatives should get a golf tee and put it through the buttonhole of their shirt/blouse. If anybody asks you about it, just smile.
I hope he chokes to death on Reggie’s nuts.

He really needs the time off for R&R. It’s tough work being a lawless, whining tyrant.
It drives me crazy the way leftists slobber and touch themselves when our degenerate half-wit President goes on about "fat cats" and then jets off to recreate in Martha's Vinyard, Aspen, The Hamptons etc. I read something in a book once that went something like "...and the pigs told the other animals that they should get all of the apples and milk, because it was such hard work for the poor pigs...having to do all the thinking for all the other animals."Leftist think what they're told to think, and even see what they're told to see.
Hyannis isn’t all that white, anymore.
Does this mean he will stay off my TV for 16 days???
Whoever lives there ISN’T POOR NO MATTER WHAT THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN.
Po’ white folk like me can’t afford to live there. Some people are more equal than others.
Shit! Where’s my Obamaphone? My free gas?
Did you know that the college student who said that is a mother of 4, a nurse, and turning conservative? She got a taste of Obama’s promises and it left a bad taste in her mouth.
I’m glad that some people actually learn the truth before it is too late.
Hey, do they take po white folk in Kennebunkport?
LOL! That's what Clinton did!
No, Hyannis isn’t what it used to be. Section 8 has seen to that.
Kennebunkport? Probably not, but half the state of Maine is on some kind of welfare or “disability” so who knows?
Everyone should be rereading Animal Farm and passing it on to friends.
I agree. The self-serving, rapacious, greedy and corrupt modern American political class is certainly rewriting it.
