Complete Headline: Feeling rested? Smiling president returns to the White House after relaxing in Martha's Vineyard amid ISIS and Ferguson crises
President Barack Obama's summer vacation off the Massachusetts coast has come to an end.
The president returned to 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.

Now I'm rested, refreshed and just as sharp as ever!
probably reveling in getting a journalist released from Syria
My grandmother used to say ‘Only simpletons smile all the time’.
Obama uses vacations and golf as a way of detaching himself from the duties and responsibilities that he is unable to manage. The result is poor delayed decisions and absent leadership.
Obama’s rested and the country is exhausted.
The Democratic Party is scared out of its wits.
Liberalism is now proved to be harmful to us all.
In foreign policy, even uniformed voters sense that “kinder-gentler” is endangering us all.
The world is tired of Obama, but he’s “rested”.
Nice.
Wipe your chin Barry.
Refreshed and ready to continue the destruction of America.
And he's still a piece of s##t.
“Smiling president”..........
Must have scammed more of his minions money.
Reggie must have been on his game this weekend.
When does his fall vacation begin?
I wish this commie criminal clown was feeling “arrested”.
That's probably true, but Obama's interpretation of the job is that it's supposed to be a lot of fun. He's not that fond of actual work.
Not for another couple of weeks. He needs to rest from his summer vacation for now.
He looks stoned.
I know. I'm a former addict.
I’d rather he experience the feeling of being ARRESTED!
