After passing on dinner with the French president to go on a date in the City of Light with his wife last month, President Obama took leave of his Russian hosts on Tuesday night to seclude himself in his Moscow hotel with his wife, Michelle, and their daughters.
The first family enjoyed a relaxed evening at the O2 Lounge, the super-chic, super-pricey rooftop club at the new Ritz-Carlton, although no doubt the Secret Service first cleared the place of most if not all of the swaggering tycoons and leggy models who flock to such Moscow venues.
They could not ask for a more scenic vista. The glass-enclosed O2 offers a panoramic view of Moscow, including Red Square and the Kremlin, all the more striking as the lingering summer sun sets after 10 p.m. The club is “a place to see and be seen,” as its Web site says — that is, unless you are a visiting president who after a day and a half of blinis, beluga and bilats (the diplo term for “bilateral meetings”) just wants to hang out with the clan.

Wasnt Bush on vacation for 1/3 of his presidency? Theres a lot of brush to clear in Crawford. How quickly you forget.
What a petty post.
Obama feels right at home in Russia after all
he is a commie
He chose to spend time with his family. Oh, what a horror!! So now family values are politically incorrect?
granny:
No, but that he was rude to his host is. Plans were made, but he declined to participate.
I stand corrected.
