For Obama a Mini-Vacation is in Limbo

  By: Benjamín Martínez B.

 President Obama has some real motivation to get a budget deal: his family vacation.

The first family has a long-planned family trip to Colonial Williamsburg this weekend.

The priority of the president is working with members of Congress from the two parts to avoid a government shutdown, but is obvious that the family’s plans will change if an agreement is not reached. If the shutdown occurs, Mr. Obama will stay in Washington.

There is no word as to whether Michelle Obama, the first lady, and their children, would go without him. The trip to Williamsburg would not be the first time that Obama has looked for a vacation in popular American touristic destinations.
