Rain lifts, vacationing Obamas dine out
OAK BLUFFS, Mass. — President Barack Obama and his family are dining out together for the first time since the start of their Martha’s Vineyard vacation.
Taking advantage of a break in the weather after four days of steady rain, the president, his wife Michelle and daughters Malia and Sasha left their rented farm compound on Wednesday and motorcaded to a restaurant in Oak Bluffs.
It was their second straight year eating at Nancy’s restaurant. Joining the first family in an upstairs dining room were adviser Valerie Jarrett and Chicago friends Cheryl and Eric Whitaker.
Obama ignored a shouted question on Iraq while ordering. He replied, “We’re buying shrimp, guys. Come on.”
