Breathe easy, Kailua. Politico has this report:

President Obama will be enjoying a little R and R — and no doubt some golf — this weekend during a vacation in West Palm Beach.

The White House says he will leave Friday and he has no public events scheduled during the trip.

The Presidents’ Day getaway to one of the playgrounds of the rich and famous comes just days after he delivered his State of the Union address focused on the plight of the middle class.
