President Barack Obama, first lady Michelle Obama and their daughters Sasha and Malia walk from Marine One to board Air Force One, Friday, Aug. 26, 2011, at Cape Cod Coast Guard Air Station in Bourne, Mass., en route to Washington after a family vacation on Martha’s Vineyard. Urging everyone in Hurricane Irene’s path to get ready, President Barack Obama decided to cut his vacation short Friday and return to the White House for a storm he described as potentially historic.

And they will allow him to stay in DC with this storm coming?
That is one hugely unhappy family, maggie.
Nice run in the Michelle Antoinette’s pantyhose.
Why aren’t they on separate planes?
Governor Sarah Palin said he’d cut his vacation short! Right again!!
There has absolutely GOT to be a political motivation to this media-ginned storm hysteria, even as Irene is collapsing. Help me out here.
a. To take the attention off Obama’s agonistes.
b. To give Obama a Horatius-at-the-bridge leadership moment.
c. To try and blow a little hot air into the deflated global warming hemorrhoid.
d. It’s just the Silly Season and we need some dramatic headlines.
Any other possibilities?
Like Medved said: “The problem isn’t that Obama goes on vacation - - the problem is that he comes back from vacation.”
HAH! Michelle & the girls are probably mad because they have to leave tonight. Originally they were to leave in the morning. Someone must have mentioned the cost factor.
And the crazy thing is this hurricane IMO is not going to be bad at all AND I pray I am right because I have dear friends close to the coast in Virginia.
Bozo would have seen more rain in Chicago as we've had massive flooding if he wasn't in DC.
I'm not trying to make light of this situation although I sincerely believe the media is hyping this big time.
Just get an umbrella and keep an eye on your basement other than that this storm will be a Tropical Depression at most by the time it hits land.
Malia’s pants are waaaay too tight.
I hope she doesn’t go to school looking like that.
The Obamas hit ‘’The Vineyard’’: “Look Martha, it’s the Obamas, eh ah’’.
Perhaps they all look so sad because they now know that B. Obama is such a record setting FAILURE.
Strange how the dog is never mentioned anymore.
That family never looks happy.
But I’m inclined to think that someone said..no you are NOT taking separate planes...and when you land...don’t be all smiley. There has been an earthquake and an upcoming hurricane. Look concerned!!
I am a cynic..this is the “looking concerned” look.
Too bad for Michelle as I understand she still had some tax payer money she has not spent on the trip.
Looks like the vacation sharpened Professor You Lie’s reasoning powers:
I need to finally make a useful decision for my daughters.
I added so much debt to their future - - - .
It is so depressing that I can’t even make a speech about it.
I’ll just have to keep calling “debt” an “investment.”
It has worked so far. ( Everyone is scared to call me out on that distinction. Maybe Joe Wilson might.someday.)
I do so like the picture on the wall of my favorite river in the world.
Can’t think of the name right now, - - - starts with a “D” - - - .
Oh well, it doesn’t matter!
Hmm - - - what decision should I make today to help my daughters?
Hurricane Irene will cause sea level to rise, hmmm - - - .
Well, we are just a few feet above sea level here at the Vineyard that Martha built.
The White House is on a hill well above sea level.
And the Oval Office is on the Second floor!
That is it!
No photo ops of me filling sandbags here!
Guess what girls?
We are going home!
( Wow! It really DOES feel good to make a decision that is good for people other than myself! )
They sure aren’t the picture of a happy family, they look more and more miserable all the time.
I can’t blame the kids for being miserable, I can’t imagine raising kids with SS up their butts every minute and both parents telling stuff to the whole world about them. Grades, fat...whatever. They don’t get to be normal kids.
I imagine Michelle isn’t to thrilled with Obama’s recent comments about her— letting Michelle have her way 90% of the time and about Michelle’s shopping and his golf clubs. That has to be more than incidental—it’s on his mind— that’s why it was his example.
I wonder how long it will take after Obama is out of office for Michelle to file for divorce?

Flying back together. A win win.
Quashes the ‘Muslim men won’t travel with their wives’ rumor.
Separate plane expense. Silences the howls of extravagance.
(Of course that 2nd plane is sitting on the tarmac around Cape Cod and has to be flown back. So the only expense savings is the extra weight of Michelle and Co.)
