On breaks and vacations from D.C., the First Family will return to their South Side home. Said the President-Elect, "Our friends are here. Our family is here. We are going to try to come back here as often as possible...at least once every six weeks or couple months." Other spots the family will most likely visit include Camp David and Hawaii, but Obama is the first president to make his primary home away from the White House an urban area, which could create some new challenges for the Secret Service.



That's a lot of travel. He should remember that Blago was criticized for spending so much time here.
first of all, he's the darn president...not the governor of il. Blago got yelled at because he spent most his time in Chicago, not in Springfield (the capital).
Just as long as he doesn't spend as much time here as Bush spent in Crawford.
