CHICAGO — President Barack Obama’s visit home for the Memorial Day holiday weekend will be his first extended stay in his own home in the city’s Hyde Park neighborhood in more than a year.
Obama said before he took office that he hoped to come home about every six weeks. But the demands of the presidency and his daughters’ busy schedules have thwarted his intentions. First lady Michelle Obama, daughters Malia and Sasha, Obama’s mother-in-law, Marian Robinson, and family dog Bo are with the president.
Shortly after Air Force One took off, Bo and his owner made a visit to the press cabin. Obama recited the old standby about getting a dog in Washington because real friends are hard to find. The Associated Press
