It’s times like this where the country needs to come together to cope with a tragedy of this magnitude.

Via Boston Herald:

Unbook the tee times and cancel the cocktail soirees. Because word from the Beltway is that President Obama will not return to Martha’s Vineyard this summer for his annual canoodle with the Beautiful People.

Not that this is exactly shocking news. Because it is, of course, an election year. Which means that instead of playing 18 with deep-pocketed donors, sipping cocktails with Masters of the Universe and shooting hoops on his private court, Barry will be shaking hands and kissing babies with peons in the swing states.

And while the oh-so-swish Vineyard Golf Club and Nancy’s fried fish shack will no doubt be despondent, the Track is positively jumping for joy!
