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.

He doesn't owe any explanations to you.
And were is Reggi Love?
He needed to ensure the hostage was dead and now that he is, he is back to vacation.
Doesn’t Obozo have professional bag men to deliver the kickback money?
Why did he come with one of his daughters? The whole. Trip may have been daughter/family related
Evil follows him wherever he goes so it doesn’t matter where he is.
My first though also. Back to DC for some backdoor action.
Maybe he ran out of coke and cigarettes.
Reggie is strangely off the gaydar these days, although I have a source on the Vineyard who says he may have spotted him there. However, as vice-webmaster of www.wheresreggie.com, I cannot indulge in mere rumor.
Have you checked the AF1 passenger roster? Valerie sometimes books him on other flights in the Presidential fleet to throw us off the track. Reggie is nothing if not a good sport and may even be in a crate on the Osprey flight.
A dress for the Prom? Michelle tastes are too mucho?
Decided all this Ferguson stuff going on made it a not so good time to give amnesty to 5 million non-blacks.

After a few days with the Mooch, you probably need a 48-hour smoke break.
You're probably right. Best explanation I've seen. Timing is everything.
Kass is all about Michelle’s food program & lets move campaign. Something sneaky going on??
Yeah.... if they keep this up a while maybe we’ll dodge an executive order issued while congress is on recess. I guess that’s the upside to this stuff....
You try spending two weeks straight with Michelle.
Drudge says a US journalist has been beheaded by ISIS so that’s probably why.
Maybe it has to do with that free lance reporter who was just beheaded. Obama has allowed the murder and possibly a second will occur with a second journalist. Obama is a Muslim. Now is the time make him accountable.
