President Obama went back to his vacation on Martha’s Vineyard Tuesday evening following less than 48 hours in Washington, leaving people puzzled over why he came back in the first place.
Obama’s two days in Washington were mostly quiet, and concluded with the president receiving his daily national security briefing in the morning, and joining Vice President Biden to huddle with members of his economic team in the afternoon.
Administration officials have insisted for weeks that the president just wanted to return to the White House for a series of meetings, but the explanation was met with a healthy dose of skepticism, since Obama rarely interrupts his vacations.
Judicial Watch estimates the extra roundtrip cost $1.1 million. Only daughter Malia accompanied Obama back to Washington.
Speculation for why Obama returned focused around the possibility of a secret foreign leader meeting or the roll out of a new administration initiative on immigration or corporate taxes.
But no such explanation materialized.
The most unusual deviation from a normal day at the White House was Obama’s dinner Monday night at Sam Kass’s home. The president, joined by deputy chief of staff Anita Breckenridge, spent nearly five hours at the White House chef’s Dupont Circle duplex apartment.
It’s possible that the party may have been a celebration of Kass’s impending nuptials to MSNBC host Alex Wagner. The couple announced their engagement last September. But the White House provided no details of the meal.

Obama has never gone two weeks straight.
Hush-hush fundraisers with some of his rich friends. Due to the fact that he’s turned out to be a huge horse’s ass, the stakes have gone up. He had to perform certain favors for the big donors, and that required privacy... if you get my drift.
Go pound sand would not be the first time a young black girl got into trouble didn’t she just get back from Hollywood working as an intern
We toward the right are fixated on Obama, when it is becoming increasingly obvious that for the second term he has been dragged before us to throw us off the scent of those who have used this Affirmative Action nincompoop to cover and implement THE PLAN to socialize America.
OK. Obama is a horrible guy. He's a lousy Marxist. But, it is obvious that he has absolutely nothing to do with events or anything else. His "job" is to do nothing. He's a symbol. Think Jackie Robinson ... only a Jackie Robinson who has '0' talent for baseball.
Speeches? Dramatic? O spare me Ezra Klein. This guy is not even a good reader, they haven't even been able to train this jackass to look at the camera.
But what and whom do we offer to succeed him? "We" (whoever and whatever the non-Democrats are) are going into a "tremendous electoral victory" this fall ... but without a Program, without a Plan, and with no effective Leadership.
Forget this queer disbarred Kenyan/Indonesian/British/American anomaly. We have bigger fish to fry. We have a Republic, if we can keep it.
BTW, thanks for that link. Good spot. Also BTW, it is entirely possible that Reggie's boyfriend is the client that gives every PR man nightmares, i.e., the client stupid enough to start believing his own PR! That's why his handlers are backing off him. Without them, he is less than '0.'
Maybe no mosque in Martha’s Vineyard
Back to Martha’s Vineyard, so he can resume send the Muslim world his message: Keep the rapes, beheadings, and crucifixions of the kafirs going!
He had to go back to D.C. because he forgot to kiss Reggie goodbye.
Is Sam Kass gay?
Boy King does whatever he wants to and the media SLOBBERS all over him BECAUSE he’s a Dictator.
Sam Kass is marrying Alex Wagner, a girl......she may even be black.
No, Kass is marrying Alexandra Wagner, another PMSNBC liberal nut job. Wants the 2A repealed.
Since we’re making absurd assumptions, your lack of punctuation must mean you have a severe learning disability. It wouldn’t be the first time a learning disabled person went on the internet and typed out poorly constructed, illogical sentences. Right?

Harry Truman: “The Buck Stops Here.”
Barack Obama: “The Putt Stops Here.”
That crossed my mind first
It’s logical now to assume they new the journalists decapitation was coming - and how to address it
Perhaps she IS an abortion.
And THAT'S why the change in vacation plans.
You should hear the BAD parts.
I love my wife, but we get on each other's nerves when we're together 24/7. She likes to correct me on my many shortcomings, and she has the extra time on vacation to recall past mistakes dating back 30 years. lol
Realizing that, I've incorporated small changes into vacation itineraries, such as limiting drive time to 10 hours, preferably less. That allows for a trip to the pool, or just having a relaxing meal.
Last year, my then 11YO son and I took a 2 week road trip (my wife took her vacation with her family to Orlando, I'd been there & done that. My daughter concurred, saying she didn't need the drama). As we entered Roswell, our last leg before heading for home, my son said, "Dad, I love Mom, but this trip's been fun, just you and me."
IOW, sometimes guys just need to get away from it all.
I don't know her ethnicity, but I have observed that she's a snarky, condescending, know-it-all bitch. She's perfect for MSNBC.
The over/under on that marriage should be measured in months, not years.
