Last night President Obama and First Lady Obama dined at State Road Restaurant in West Tisbury on Martha’s Vineyard.

Their dinner companions were family friends Dr. Eric and Cheryl Whitaker, senior adviser Valerie Jarrett, and lawyer and business executive Vernon Jordan and wife Ann Dibble Jordan.

As they departed the restaurant at 9:55 pm ET, reporters asked the president if he was enjoying his vacation even with the rain.

"I'm having a great time,” the president said. “Doing a lot of reading"

Among the president’s reading materials is Jonathan Franzen’s “Freedom,” which is not yet on shelves. During a weekend visit to a local bookstore in Vineyard Haven the owner gifted the president with the store’s advanced reading copy.

Anyone out there have a pic of some homeless camp where they can photoshop in a sign wishing BO and the family a happy vacation?

I'll try Freeper Roscoe Karns. He has everything.

Some of the clothes she wears reminds me of the stuff I see hanging at thrift stores and local flea markets. This latest dress must have been hand picked from the pregnant department store.

Hey now, I see on Fox that Obama is going to INTERUPT his vacation to take a conference call on the economy.

What do you want from the guy

I agree it is a great pic! Glad you liked it!

What IS she wearing in this photo??!!

Looks like parts from two or three randomly chosen dresses stitched together, with some mosquito netting (maybe from a tent flap?) sewn over the top.

Needs a two sizes too small sweater and a boob belt, though.

That dress doesn’t make sense. It must be the oddest thing I’ve ever seen.

Tell me 444, what do you think?

Michelle Obama: Paying Prada prices for Walmart looks/quality.

I have never seen anything that weird in Walmart. Well, maybe on some of the customers but never on the racks.

While this empty suit is out having a great time with the snobbish, New England liberal elites, how many people went home to tell their families they lost their jobs today?

Mar 5, 2010 ... Senator Harry Reid said, “Today is a big day in America. Only 36,000 people lost their jobs today, which is really good.”

There's your answer.
