Nation - Obama 'having a great time' despite rain

WEST TISBURY, Mass. (AP) -- A storm that curtailed outdoor activities for much of President Barack Obama's vacation was forecast to end Wednesday, but he said he's been able to fight off cabin fever. Not only has he been able to sneak in two rounds of golf, but he told reporters Tuesday he's "doing a lot of reading" at the farm compound he's rented for the first family. "I'm having a great time," he said. The president made the remarks, his first in public since heading out on vacation last week, as he escorted first lady Michelle Obama from the State Road restaurant. The couple dined out for the second consecutive night, this time with Washington power broker Vernon Jordan and his wife, Ann, as well as Chicago friends Eric and Cheryl Whitaker. White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett also joined the group. Fellow diners cheered the president and clapped as he left the restaurant. Obama paused for pictures and signed autographs. While Mrs. Obama wore a colorful print dress with contrasting sleeves, the president looked more subdued in khakis, a striped dress shirt and blue outdoor jacket. The Obamas are scheduled to remain on vacation until Sunday. Published: Thu, Aug 26, 2010
