(Washington Examiner) The Massachusetts Island of Martha’s Vineyard–the exclusive playground for the Obama’s, is about to get their annual infusion of stimulus cash and attention when President Obama, his family and entourage arrive on the 10 August for an 8 day vacation.
Local reports indicate that ‘The Obama’s’ will likely be staying at the posh $7.6 Million resort home on the southern edge of the island in the village of Chilmark where homes feature water access, tennis courts and swimming pools.
While the president may generally keep to himself and only has a handful of staffers on this trip, 75 rooms have already been reserved for the Secret Service and White House Staffers at an average cost to taxpayers of at $225 to $345 per night.
Flashback–Less Than a Week Ago: According to USA Today President Obama told an audience at Knox College in Illinois, “I care about one thing and one thing only and that’s how to use every minute of the 1,276 days remaining in my term to make this country work for working Americans again…Where a few are doing better and better and better, while everybody else just treads water.”
