Colbert I. King, in his Washington Post column, argues that the luxurious Martha’s Vineyard is the last place President Barack Obama should find himself when millions of Americans are unemployed and the nation’s economic future hangs in the balance.

To fly off to the Vineyard when the public is losing faith in Washington’s ability to fix the nation’s economic problems, and with people anxious about their futures?
What is he thinking? It’s not as if the Obama family is living in deprivation in Washington.
