President Barack Obama is getting off the island.
In a rare move for Obama, he’s taking a break in the middle of his Martha’s Vineyard vacation to return to Washington for unspecified meetings with Vice President Joe Biden and other advisers.
The White House has been cagey about exactly why the president needs to return to Washington for those discussions.
Part of the decision appears aimed at countering criticism that Obama is spending two weeks on a resort island in the midst of numerous crises.
They turned the first week of Obama’s vacation into a working holiday. He made on-camera statements on U.S. military action in Iraq and the situation in Ferguson, Missouri.
He also called foreign leaders.
Obama plans to go back to Massachusetts on Tuesday.

as was mentioned on rush limbaugh his oldest daughter is in dc and he needs to pick her up on air force one so he can waste someone else’s money (taxpayers)
He’ll be right back with a much longer holiday that will last him for the rest of his life
It is tough being commander in chief. It can really put a dent into your golf game.
The one thing he’s shown to be good at as a sitting president is being a great vacationer in chief, Bravo, Bravo!
What a guy!
It is newsworthy when Obama interrupts his leisure activity for some work. Last week, Obama surpassed Tiger Woods in number of rounds of golf for the year.
I guess dog bites man makes news.
“Obama plans to go back to Massachusetts on Tuesday.”
Wow. He’s coming back for one day. This man is a true hero. Its comforting to know that the Kenyan is taking good care of us.
