FULL TITLE: Plenty of room for the buckets and spades! The Obama motorcade hits the beach (and Michelle dons headphones instead of listening to her husband)
As the East Coast awaits the full wrath of Hurricane Irene, the first family clearly are not letting it get in the way of a little leisure time in Martha's Vineyard. President Obama, his wife Michelle and their daughters took to the beach Thursday afternoon in a 12-strong motorcade.
With so many vehicles, there was plenty of room for the towels, beach balls, bucket and spades and other seaside necessities.
The President and First Lady sat together in one of the heavily fortified vehicles, but there was no talking. She could be seen wearing headphones, perhaps listening to music.
On Thursday morning Mr Obama was briefed by his top counter-terrorism advisor, John Brennan, on overnight developments in Libya.
He also spoke with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate and other White House officials about Hurricane Irene.

Hell has frozen over, I have sympathy for Michelle. Who would want to listen to him when you can turn on our iPod?
All the photos except the motorcade and the fence look familiar, like I’ve seen them at least days ago.....
She needs those big tires on her bike!

What awful, ugly people. Classless.
Spades? Correct me if I’m wrong, but that sounds racist. But then again, to some, “buckets” sounds racist. To others “motorcade” sounds racist. Is “vacation” racist?
Buckets and SPADES?! Do we detect a little veiled racist lingo there? (Snicker-snort!)
If the headline is “racist”, then poker is too. No “Ace of Spades” in the deck anymore.
You can’t even buy a “spade” for work in your garden. Nor can you buy a “hoe”. Very sexist.
Can’t say “Can I have a fork?” at the dinner table. (It would mess up the tablecloth). I’m bad.
Will have to change the name of the singer “BJ Thomas” to something else. Guess I have to tell “BJ”, my old girlfriend, that she will have to refer to herself as “Betty Jean” in the future.
Can’t order a “coke” in a restaurant anymore. Could get you arrested, you know.
Political Correctness is next to insanity.
The hurricane might be getting downgraded to a tropical storm, but the Obama presidency has already been downgraded to a depression.
