It's going to be hot tubs, basketball, tennis and golf for the first family this summer, having set plans for a 16-day vacation in Martha's Vineyard, Mass., on a $12 million, 10-acre forested estate on the southwestern corner of the island.
Reports from the Bay State indicate that President Obama and his family will vacation August 9-24 at the 8,100-square foot, beachfront home of a Democratic donor that includes a pool, hot tub, basketball and tennis court.
It will be new digs for the first family, who have summered on tony Martha's Vineyard every year of Obama's presidency, except in 2012 when he was running for reelection.
The Vineyard Gazette reported that the White House has no major or public events planned for the almost three weeks, typical at this stage of a presidential vacation.
The Cape Cod Times reported that several local stores typically visited by the president and his family during the past five Obama trips are making plans to welcome them, including famous Mad Martha's Ice Cream which last year developed a new flavor called “Barack My World,” espresso ice cream, macadamia nuts and caramel.
Obama is expected to be accompanied by top aide Valerie Jarrett, a regular summer resident of Oak Bluffs, one of the island's bigger towns.
It will be among the longest vacations Obama has taken and four times longer than the average 3.8 day vacation the typical American family takes.
Well, it sounds like the house is big enough to share with a couple hundred of the poor unaccompanied illegal children. Surely the first family will do the compassionate thing, right?
The man of the people never seems to want to be around his peeps when he takes time off. The way he talks you’d think he’d be heading for the south side of Chicago.
He’s always on vacay, let me know when does some actual preezy staff.
staff = stuff . . . sheesh!
Sounds like a perfect place to send some illegals to...maybe make those on Martha’s Vineyard wake up to the reality that WE understand.
Used 2b a “Constitutional Law Prof”, right..? Well he was actually REJECTED by his peers in the interview, initially. It was only after the oh-so-mysterious intervention of the (much) higher-ups that he was hired at all.
Low and behold what was his eventual appraisal by his work colleagues?
THAT HE WAS *LAZY*.
And he IS.
You’re thinking of Clinton again, aren’t you? ;P
Yep. Send in the clowns.
Send all of the illegal aliens to Martha’s Vineyard, pronto!.
Make sure everyone puts in their order for Hurricane/Hurricanes on August 9-24
Ruling elite. They live high off the hog on OUR money, while we can’t find a job and have to pay for this crap.
Well, in the off season you could dump a s-load of those immigrants on the island. You could set up tents on the lawns of the estates.

Who do you think cuts the grass there now
Legally that’s income. Are the grifters paying the taxes owed on the imputed income?
Val Jar goes to the bathroom with BO.
I thought he just went there last week !!!!
He’s angling for his own series on the Travel Channel
Martha’s Vineyard doesn’t want “their kind” except as gardeners, and certainly not to live there.
Martha’s Vineyard, like Cap Cod, Hyannisport, etc. has a slogan - ‘Whiter than White: 99.9 Per Cent Pure, Like Ivory Snow and we intend to keep it that way”.
