President Obama and the first family today escape from life inside the Washington beltway and retreat to the summer vacation island of Martha's Vineyard, where they'll soak up the sun and enjoy time together as a family.
The 10-day getaway, the family's' fourth and longest this year, comes after a whirlwind campaign swing through the West Coast by Mr. Obama earlier this week and amid a swirling controversy over the president's comments about a proposed Islamic community center and mosque near Ground Zero in New York.
With no public events scheduled for the week ahead, the president will get a break from the media spotlight and the partisan political battles that have intensified with just three months before November's midterm elections.

They MUST be forced to GTFO of OUR White House ASAP.
At least when Bush went on vacation, he cleared brush on the farm.
This guy is really perpetuating sterotypes....
The a touch of Sickle Cell.
Or, would it be Hammer & Sickle Cell? :)
Prepare for ice cream shots ... ad nauseum. Another opportunity for the press to exhibit its journalistic skills.

Give him a break, he just visited the peons in the Gulf they need a vacation.
Pray for America
I think Obama feels his work is done. All he is needed for is to sign the bills Pelosi and Reid pass and issue EOs for those policies they can’t pass. That is all he was ever intended to do.
So, why not make the most of his time and the free unlimited expense account? How about a date night in New York or a romantic flyby of the Statue of Liberty? Why not have Michele and the girls go where ever they want and take whomever they want? Golf, hoops, ... ? Whatever it takes to kill time. Now if only Carville and the rest would shut up about actually doing something, if only symbolic, everything would be fine!
By the way, to your list of vacations...we can add the many hours/days spent playing golf, campaigning for others, raising money for the Dems, and not working while on our dime.
They had to lay off the maid that cleans the oval office. It never gets used.
All these people do is campaign and party.
This UPI article says two weeks, which seems more likely:

Returning on Labor Day would make it 13 days; the next Tuesday, 14.
First thing Obama does is to get oriented as to which way is Mecca.
I would not be surprised if it was found that at most if not all of his public speaking appearances he aims himself towards Mecca, never facing away as that would be an Insult to the Koran.
And any bathroom that has the commode facing sitting in the wrong position will have to be “renovated”
Kinda makes a person wonder if the toilets in the Whitehouse are being moved around so as to not offend the Koran? hmmm...
Go figger.
Just as many as mac daddies namesake - ZERO
Are these people nuts? A lot of us are stressing and sweating to get thru this mess he's made.
That's disgusting!
