ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE, Md. (AP) - President Barack Obama hasreturned to Washington after a long weekend in his hometown of
Chicago.
The president, his wife and daughters arrived at the military
base just outside Washington at midday Monday. His family had left
for Chicago on Friday aboard Air Force One. Among items topping
Obama's agenda this week is signing into law the $787 billion
economic stimulus plan that Congress passed last Friday.
While in Chicago, the first family did not have a public
schedule. The president played basketball with friends, visited the
gym and got a haircut. Barack and Michelle Obama celebrated
Valentine's Day with a dinner at Oprah Winfrey's personal chef's
restaurant on Saturday.
It was Obama's first significant break since taking office on
Jan. 20.
Obama won't be in Washington long; he heads to Denver, Colo.,
Arizona and Canada this week and he plans to sign the stimulus
legislation in Denver.
