America’s first couple, Barack and Michelle Obama, spent Tuesday on a Martha’s Vineyard beach backing onto a huge and well-loved pond that is being killed slowly by human urine.
The visit with friends to a glistening beach under perfect skies on a thin sand bar that separates the Atlantic Ocean from the Edgartown Great Pond, a brackish body of water with precious wildlife, was the highlight for the Obama’s on the fourth day of their two-week holiday….
The plight of the pond, which has been officially designated compromised because of unacceptably high levels of nitrogen, stood in stark contrast to the beauty of the clear-blue day and the southern vista out towards the ocean.
It was the object of scholarly research by reporters who found themselves stuck for the afternoon in a bus in the beach parking lot while the first family frolicked. While they could boast being entirely aware of the compromised nature of the pond them before them, it isn’t clear that the Obama’s had any idea….

Obama is going to attend fundraiser at the Goldberg’s home on Martha’s Vineyard on Monday. The knee slapper part of this story is that Obama declined to attend a fundraiser to be held at their home in Chevy Chase MD because the trip from the WH to Chevy Chase was not a good use of Obama’s time. The guy who jets around the world for fundraisers.
