VINEYARD HAVEN, Massachusetts The White House showed President Barack Obama absorbed in a security briefing with his top anti-terror aide Friday, countering Republican complaints about his summer vacation.
Arguing the duties of his job follow him everywhere, aides released a picture of Obama, in a blue leisure shirt, receiving his daily intelligence briefing from John Brennan at rented Blue Heron Farm on Martha's Vineyard.
Officials did not divulge contents of the briefing but it took place at a time of escalating fighting between Moamer Kadhafi's forces and Libyan rebels and followed a US call for Syria's President Bashar al-Assad to go.
Obama also received a briefing on paper from his economic team.
A top economics official, Brian Deese, will arrive next week to keep Obama up to speed on global finance issues during his 10-day vacation, and the president will also prepare a major speech on jobs he will deliver next month.
Also Friday, Obama drew a crowd as his motorcade snaked through country lanes and headed into the picturesque tourist town of Vineyard Haven when he took his daughters Malia and Sasha to a local bookstore.

The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I’d rather he just stay there and not come back.
A “briefing on paper”—bwahaha!!!
When is this gay idiot NOT on vacation?
Golf, ice-cream, golf, ice-cream....
>:(
Oh my. I used to eat at Mel’s Drivein in Berkeley!
Nero fiddled - 0bama putts on vacation.
Heres the first picture of the meeting
((sniff))... I'm so proud of our modern government!
Brennan is political clown who is. Not respected in the intelligence community. He also prefers to call Jerusalem “Al Quds”. Maybe that’s why Obama likes that a**hat.
He is an even bigger girly man than Jaques Al-Qerry..
Great job, but I would just set all that back about an hour. I haven’t heard of him doing any work before 10:45. Other than that, you probably have it right.
His schedules that I’ve seen (of a regular work day) usually have 2 or 3 items that in total take less than 4 hours.

And this is what President Bush did on the 4th of July!
Like someone here on FR (I forget who) once said....”The country burns while the Putz putts”
Say what you will about Bush (and things he did to help us get where we are), at least he LOVED this country AND our military, and you could know, he was/is sincere, about that.
I will always like Bush, no matter what is said about him. I think his heart was always in the right place, even if his head (and gonads) weren’t.
