VINEYARD HAVEN The first family had an answer yesterday to those who said they were perhaps a little too reclusive while on the island.
On the first full day of their Martha's Vineyard vacation, the Obamas were almost Clintonesque, first traveling to a Vineyard Haven bookstore before the president took in a round of golf in the early afternoon, followed by the first appearance of first lady Michelle Obama, who took the girls for ice cream in Oak Bluffs.
At a press conference yesterday, White House Deputy Press Secretary Bill Burton said President Barack Obama has a relatively spontaneous approach to each vacation day, deciding in the morning whether to play basketball, go to the beach or get some ice cream.

This guy is through.
Two more years and a few months to get through. Beginning in January the damage can be contained. We have a lot of work to do.
The guy in the back must be giving himself chloroform.
They're trying so hard to make Zero seem human, but it's not working.
The Friends reported this morning that Barry did not get such a warm welcome on The Island.
It was clear last time he was not expected back. Dunno why they are so utterly tone deaf.

Meanwhile, Saturday Today and CBS News Saturday Morning working hard to save his failed presidency.
That must take a lot of energy!
Some people wake up in the morning trying to figure out how to survive the day, but PLAY ON BARRY!
For a family that wants us all to eat lettuce, they sure eat a lot of ice cream.
FUBO
Narcissism?
Of course they would get upset, anywhere Obama goes the surrounding area goes into lockdown mode, you cannot set off fireworks, fly model planes or go ballooning near where he is.
The flight restrictions alone shut down almost all air traffic. Tourism suffers because first off you cannot get into the area and then if you do you will be monitored, photographed and all your past will be dug up and filed away.
Nobody wants Obama anymore, he brinks ill fortune to the land.
BINGO!
“Do what I say, not what I do.”
Maybe they’ve taken donations from the dairy industry and they’re doing product placement.

Well, the price of arugula is too high for their purse. So it’s ice cream ice cream.
The guy in back covering his face for the camera? very strange.
