President Obama hashed out economic recovery plans with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg before teeing off yesterday at the oh-so-posh Vineyard Golf Club .
“The president and Mayor Bloomberg took the opportunity to discuss plans for short- and long-term economic growth at a pivotal point in our recovery,” said White House spokesguy Reid Cherlin .
And what a perfect place to have that convo!
The private club, which appears to be recovering nicely from the economic downturn, costs $350,000 to join and has annual dues of $12,000. However, we hear the one-time membership fee used to be $500,000 before the recession hit and all the billionaires ran for the bunker!
Hi,everyone!There are some new golf clubs in our store,for example: Callaway Diablo Edge Driver , Callaway Diablo Edge Fairway Woods , Tourstage Bridgestone ViQ driver
It didn’t appear the prez and Bloomie, whom Obama invited to play over a week ago, made much economic headway before hitting the fairway with D.C. lawyer Vernon Jordan and national trip director Marvin Nicholson.
Earlier in the day, the first family hit the bike path in the Manuel F. Correllus State Forest, riding six miles on colorful cruising bikes and all wearing helmets.
Last year, you may remember, the Leader of the Free World came under fire by many bike safety groups when photos surfaced of Obama riding helmet-less along Lobsterville Beach in Aquinnah.
He’s learned the hard way that sometimes a politician just has to set an example and wear the dorky hat (or at least a tricked-out Specialized brand white, blue and black helmet)!
The prez, who accessorized his helmet with black jeans, white polo shirt and running shoes, cycled on a blue bike with oldest daughter, Malia, on the State Forest Loop.
First lady Michelle Obama, dressed in a gray tank top and khaki peddle pushers, worked up a sweat on her yellow bike riding with younger daughter, Sasha .
The littlest Obama Girl, on her orange bike, was her animated self, laughing and enjoying family time outside of their rented chi-chi Chilmark compound.
The first couple are expected to flee the island on Sunday at 10 a.m. to fly down to New Orleans to mark the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
Last night, Barack and Michelle Obama dined at the quaint Beach Plum Inn overlooking Menemsha Harbor with a group of close friends including senior advisor Valerie Jarrett and Windy City attorney Alan S. King and his wife, Sophia.
BTW, the fine dining eatery is located in Chilmark, a dry town. So you think the prez BYOB’ed?
