The real purpose of this trip is to ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Obama does nothing publicly without a hidden agenda cloaked in a populist wrapping....in this case, a "vacation" to be "one with nature".
Notice he always heads for discreet, picturesque nesting places of the rich, famous, or the rich and under-the-radar famous. Martha's Vineyard and the lush enclaves of wealthy Hawaiians are other examples.
There's no one of any interest to Obama around Camp David except the wait staff and dorky rangers in khaki shorts (hello muddah, hello faddah, here I am at Camp Granada, ugh....)
In addition to the fawning and adulation he receives in and around the monied estates of the landed gentry, he has the opportunity for substantial fund-raising to swell his 2012 campaign coffer.
Although his trip is only for three days it still affords ample time for private rounds of golf with billionaires while Michelle can quietly lunch with Susan and Martha and impressed wife and daughter of a Muslim oil baron.
ALWAYS follow the money trail with this venal president.
Obama is not someone to let a perfectly good vacation go to waste.
