Obama's Vacation on the Vineyard

I thought he already had one....

"For Obamas, Vineyard has enduring attraction; Vacations on welcoming island appeal to president and family" by Matt Viser |  Globe Staff, July 17, 2013

The Vineyard has indeed become Obama’s “place.” His nearly annual sojourns on the island have coincided with his growth as a politician, from state senator to US senator and presidential candidate to Oval Office occupant. Next month, Obama is scheduled to return again.

Already President Obama has spent more nights on Martha’s Vineyard than almost anywhere else besides the White House and nearby Camp David. His time there surpasses the amount of time he has been at his own home in Chicago, and is rivaled only by Hawaii, where he spends Christmas, according to data compiled by CBS News....

When Obama travels on the island now, his motorcade can stretch 15 cars long. Secret Service scopes out each location beforehand, and the media is on hand to cover every handshake, book purchase, and golf outing.
