Michelle Obama & Family Depart Martha's Vineyard In Style (PHOTOS)

The Huffington Post     First Posted: 08/27/11 10:49 PM ET   Updated: 10/27/11 06:12 AM ET

They swam, they biked, they dined on take-out and then they were gone.

The Obama family departed Martha's Vineyard in the dark on Friday night, boarding Air Force One at the Cape Cod Coast Guard Station in Bourne, Massachusetts.

Sasha and Malia kept things comfy and casual, wearing basic pants and sweatshirts for the flight home. But FLOTUS managed to stay stylish even late at night, donning a print red dress and carrying an awesome neon green tote bag.

Unfortunately, neither Michelle, the First Daughters nor POTUS were seen toting an umbrella. They're going to need it, considering the way Hurricane Irene is speeding up along the East Coast. The Obamas left the Vineyard a day early because of the hurricane, which is supposed to hit Washington D.C. hardest on Sunday.

Take a look at the First Family (and FLOTUS's fantastic bag) below.

Michelle looks like she just got off second shift at a factory job.
Sasha is definitely not on the healthy eating program. Malia looks like she wished she was someplace else.
Bo looks lost.
500 days and counting.

They're a beautiful family. Hopefully they're well rested and the girls are ready to go back to school and President Obama ready to tackle the impending issue in our country: jobs. Let's get it Obama 2012

Well rested?? I should hope so. They spend more time on vacation than anyone else in this country. Impending issue is jobs?? If you consider an issue that's 2 yrs old impending...

You lie. Did you complain about Bush when he was down on the ranch each weekend? But, oh, I forgot.....in your world, Blacks do not deserve vacation. We are plantation workers.

Presidential vacation days at this stage of their Presidencies: Reagan had taken 112, Clinton had taken 28, GWB had taken 180, Obama has taken 61. http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=7377211n

So the First Family can't take a vacation? I don't remember this kind of hoopla when other FF have taken vacations.
12:00 PM on 08/31/2011
The family does not actually look rested.....they look more like they are escaping from some horrible experience.....this is the power of journalism...select the one picture that shows what they want us to think out of perhaps hundreds

Social Security recipients haven't had a "COST OF LIVING INCREASE" since G. Bush left office.

Good luck with that. If anything you're going to take a cut. Especially considering those payroll tax cuts are what fund SS. SS recipients receive more than they ever came close to paying in. Probably should've thought about retirement 20 yrs ago. When we all knew SS was on it's last legs.

Most Americans (55%) disapprove of BHO Jr. and he goes on a 10 day, two 757 boeing-jet, taxpayer funded vacation? Is it any wonder they aren't popular, right now?
09:35 AM on 09/10/2011
4 hrs apart. Guess all the talk about global warming and going green only applies to us peons.
06:48 PM on 08/30/2011
Wow, seething bugglies snarking and snarling on the Style section. Teapers don't need much to get their jaws all torqued up. They do NOT like this American family and what it means for ordinary people to have them in the White House.
10:00 PM on 08/30/2011
Yea, I bet you spend time on Martha's Vineyard...a real good place for little shots to go for a few days to relax.
11:39 AM on 08/31/2011
Actually I have been to MV. I can't remember if we spent the night there or not. But I've been many times to Nantucket. Many ordinary people (little shots?) vacation at both these islands, so you should not confuse vacationers there with vacation HOME OWNERS there. I've vacationed on a cruise ship, too, and it's NOT the same as OWNING a cruise ship. Like I said, seething bugglies snarling and torquing their jaws about THIS family going on a nice vacation.

I don't like big shots. Please just use the regular slideshow.

I posted a question last night, wondering if they took different planes back to Washington, because they arrived on two separate 757's. The post was up for about 12 hours, but was gone this afternoon, without a reason why.

I'm still trying to grasp why she couldn't wait 4 hours longer and travel with her husband. Nooooo she had to take a separate jet and motorcade on the taxpayers dime. She does love the perks doesn't she.

The Secret Service determines what is the best way for the First Family to travel. That is the way that it has always been.

probablly when she does her serious eating....out of Bo's sight.

No wonder the country is in the shape it's in, just read the comments from all the brainiacs.







Those children do not look tired, it's more of a "no more pictures please" look. They should all look well rested after their trip to Spain, and by the way no one is carrying any luggage, all taken care of by the taxpayers. By the way, the bag is yellow on my screen not green!

You might be upset too, if you had your vacation shortened, and only 36% of the people approve of your performance.

Ya, I would really be crying in my beer if I had to cut my 20th lavish vacation this year, short by a few hours.

Boo hoo.

They don't look happy a lot of the time. They look resentful.
