Five reasons Obama might be coming back to Washington

President Obama's return to Washington on Sunday remains shrouded in mystery, with aides providing few details of why the president is leaving his Martha's Vineyard vacation home to come to the White House.

Here's what we we know so far.

The president is expected to return to the White House on Sunday, and then head back to his family's vacation home sometime Tuesday. While in Washington, he’s scheduled to hold meetings, including at least one confab with Vice President Biden.
The jaunt has been scheduled for weeks, so it is not in reaction to late developing events like the unrest in Ferguson, Mo., or the airstrikes the president ordered last week in Iraq.

Press secretary Josh Earnest said he “wouldn't be surprised” if the president had conversations about Iraq while he was back at the White House, but that “there are other meetings in the schedule, too.”

Deepening the mystery is the insistence by White House spokesman Eric Schultz that staffers did not “anticipate any major significant news developments out of Washington those few days.”

Schultz said specifically that the president would not make any major announcements on immigration reform, and the deputy press secretary — who is serving as the top administration spokesman while Earnest is on paternity leave — will remain on Martha's Vineyard while the president returns to Washington.

The decision to interrupt the president's vacation is highly unusual.


In 2012, the president returned from Hawaii to Washington to oversee fiscal-cliff negotiations, only to return after signing a bipartisan compromise.

But such maneuvers are rare and costly — documents obtained by the conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch suggest the president's roundtrip travel to Martha's Vineyard costs more than $1.1 million — and there is no pressing legislative business in Washington.

Here's five reasons the president could be traveling back to Washington.


Foreign leader visit ??

All-staff strategy meeting ??

Obama library pow-wow ??

Surprise trip abroad ??

Driver's license for Malia ??

Because the world is on fire? Doubtful, that's not about HIM. To stoke the flames over Ferguson? Possible. Got to get those Dem voters out in November. To executive order amnesty for millions of illegals, and get one and two above off the front page? Again, possible, especially since he doesn't have any deserters to trade for terrorists at the moment.

Easy. Like PzLdr said, to fan the flames and rally the troops.

It'll be a long, hot summer.

Look up Monday, August 18th...... tomorrow is the 120th anniversary of Congress creating the Department of Immigration..... could it be that he announces something related to that on Monday, then high tails it back up to MV for the rest of the week??

You got that right, TM !!

On a Rush show this past week, a caller said that his daughter Malia was coming in with him. Feeds into the Driver's License ?? Hope we don't have to pay for that license !!

How about just for, as we say, "the optics"? His Highness has been much criticized for vacationing while so many pressing matters are occurring. So now he gets to look Presidential, leaving MV to hurry back to DC to take care of urgent business, whatever that urgent business may turn out to be. And then we the taxpayers get to pay for this latest little stunt.
