Obama heads to vacation as economic woes deepen

By Stephen Collinson (AFP) – 9 hours ago

CHILMARK, Massachusetts — US President Barack Obama has defied the mockery of Republicans and sought refuge from the troubles battering his White House on the well-heeled resort of Martha's Vineyard.

With the stock market tanking on new fears of a double-dip recession and with the unemployment rate at 9.1 percent, critics said the president should be staying in Washington rather than taking 10 days off.

But Obama aides said that Americans would not begrudge the president a few days of rest with his family, and two senior officials will brief him regularly on national security and economic threats.

"The president of the United States is the president of the United States, wherever he goes. That's the job he ran for. That is what the American people expect. And it's the job he's doing," said Obama spokesman Joshua Earnest.

Obama's top counter-terrorism aide John Brennan flew aboard Air Force One with the president and a top economic official Brian Deese will arrive on the island off Massachusetts next week, Earnest said.

"The president understands that he has important responsibilities to fill, and it's his job to fill those responsibilities 24 hours a day, 365 days a year," Earnest said.

Obama, who plans to take excursions from his rented Blue Heron farm with his family and indulge his passion for golf, will also spend time preparing a major jobs and deficit plan he will unveil in September, Earnest said.
