Juggling responsibilities?

He’s lucky to have a”job” to go back to.. unlike many Americans who can’t remember their last extended vacay.



‘Vacation’ over, back to White House for Obama

http://news.yahoo.com/vacation-over-back-white-house-obama-085119218—politics.html

EDGARTOWN, Mass. (AP) — President Barack Obama’s summer vacation off the Massachusetts coast is about to end.

The president was due back at the White House late Sunday after spending two weeks with his family on the island of Martha’s Vineyard.

What a break it turned out to be. His attempt at rest and relaxation was largely overtaken by events involving Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria, including the videotaped execution of an American journalist they had been holding hostage, and the unrest in Ferguson, Missouri, following the fatal police shooting of an unarmed black man.

All told, he said that Obama’s “vacation score card includes three dinners out, two beach days, one bike ride, a jazz concert, and a fund-raiser for Senate Democrats, ot to mention a five hour bachelor party Monday in the Washington home of former White House chef Sam Kass.”

It appears that Sam Kass's fiancée was a woman (I assume the wedding may have already taken place by now).

How come the media didn't go after Obama for endorsing heteronormativity? What kind of signal was he sending to the LBGT community?
