A storm that curtailed outdoor activities for much of President Barack Obama’s vacation was forecast to end Wednesday, but he said he’s been able to fight off cabin fever.
Not only has he been able to sneak in two rounds of golf, but he told reporters Tuesday he’s “doing a lot of reading” at the farm compound he’s rented for the first family. “I’m having a great time,” he said.
The president made the remarks, his first in public since heading out on vacation last week, as he escorted first lady Michelle Obama from the State Road restaurant.
Obama has faced some criticism for his latest vacation, his sixth since taking office. At a time when painful unemployment numbers continue to bear down on the tattered economy, many are frustrated that the nation’s leader is enjoying another luxurious trip. On CBS’ “The Late Show” Tuesday night, David Letterman took a jab at the president, saying: “He’ll have plenty of time for vacations after his one term is up.”
The couple dined out for the second consecutive night, this time with Washington power broker Vernon Jordan and his wife, Ann, as well as Chicago friends Eric and Cheryl Whitaker. White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett also joined the group.

Has everyone noticed that Varlie Jarret goes on vacations with Obama's family to Mass. and Maine? I think she is the one that writes and tells him WHAT to say….she certainly isn't ba by-sitting the girls, is she? AJO
Sorry I haven't noticaead that Valarie Jarret goes on vacations with obummer. I try not to watch him as he makes me sick. He is enjoying himself at tax payers money while the rest of us can't afford to take a vaction. He has spent so much money that we will never get out of debt.
Barry Soetoro, Is really someone to look up to with all that hope stuff, as we now better understand what he was saying about his "Fundamentaly Changing" the United States back in 2007-08, he sure has been working hard at it.
Let see He steels all of our money so he can take fine holidays after buring his little pea brain so hard working on screwing us all over.
Our grandchildren's children will still be working to pay for his holidays when they die, Oh how special is that?
Now thats some "Chance you can Believe in!"
Yeah, and pray with me that our children and their children remain under the same laws of the USA that you and I were born with!
LETTERMAN IS CORRECT!
OBAMA WILL HAVE PLENTY OF TIME TO VACATION ONCE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE REMOVED HIM FROM OFFICE!
Yea he sure needs to work on his tan line's……. LMAO
lol! Good one Time!
I wish this sob was on a pernment vacation like being six feet under or pushing up daiseys. Those two trashy scum bags in the white house are the most arrogent b-s-a-ds I have ever seen in my life. I would truly enjoy giving them my change and I do believe the majority of Americans would agree.
I'm so glad that Barry and Moochelle are having a great time along with the little niglets on taxpayers money
After all look at the great job he's done in wrecking this country.Now Moochelle is really proud of her country because before when she was stealing from the hospital or the other so called high paying jobs she was down in the dumps.Don't forget Obuma was only a community organizer.
Obama is a muslim and all muslims according to the writings i the koran they must hate all christians and jews, and especially the USA.
Some people think Washington is out of touch. No they're not. They know exactly what they're doing. That's why he can take a vaca and not think twice about it. It's all planned and he and wiffy are enjoying every moment of it. This is all a big plan from the inside out. There is a video out there with O claiming he's a Muslim. Glen Beck states he doesn't think he is. Come on Glen, watch the
video. He most certainly is. If these Muslims came here on their own, why? They envy out way of life and freedoms. THen why push your agenda here? Go back where you came from. You stay in your neighborhood and we'll stay in ours. With an ocean between. The Australian president has it right, I wish he was our president.
