White House not ready to commit to Vineyard return
OAK BLUFFS, Mass. — President Barack Obama hasn’t even finished his Martha’s Vineyard vacation and already he’s being asked whether he’ll come back next year.
A local radio station reporter asked White House spokesman Bill Burton on Thursday whether the president was ready to commit to a return trip.
Burton says that while the president loves the island, staff members “haven’t thought ahead that far in terms of figuring out what he’s going to do on vacation next year.”
He also dodged a question about the trip’s highlight, but Burton says the president enjoyed a “really good” steak and rib dinner at The Sweet Life restaurant in Oak Bluffs.
Obama and his family are expected to return to Washington on Sunday.
