The Obamas are coming home to Chicago for the extended Memorial Day Weekend. It'll be the second trip back home for the First Family and the fourth for the President since he took the reigns in January 2009. With the traditional Memorial Day wreath-laying coming up, Obama will observe the holiday at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery in Elwood while VP Joe Biden performs wreath duties at Arlington National Cemetery. No word yet on what kind of traffic arrangements will be made but it is known that the Obamas will fly in Thursday.
