The Massachusetts island of Martha's Vineyard, the exclusive playground for presidents and their families, is about to get its annual summer infusion of cash and attention as President Obama and his family prepare to arrive August 10 for an eight-day vacation.

Local reports indicate that the first family will likely be staying at a $7.6 million resort home on southern edge of the island in the town of Chilmark where homes feature water access to Chilmark Pond, tennis courts and swimming pools.

While the president typically keeps to himself and carries with him only a handful of staffers to Martha's Vineyard, security will be tight. As in the past, the Wesley Hotel in Oak Bluffs will house security and communications officials. The owner told the Vineyard Gazette that the Secret Service has booked 70 rooms and another five have been reserved for the Transportation Security Agency. Rates at the hotel run from $225-$345.

Also, telephone and communications lines are being installed on the island for the president's use.

My gosh! Seventy rooms for security detail? Sounds like Obama is obsessed with his safety, or else he just likes to think of himself as extremely important.

Nothing but the Best for the First Lady !!

What is seventy rooms of security detail supposed to protect? I'm trying to justify it in my mind.
He must have at least six standing around his bed while he sleeps, bathes, eats (don't forget he hired a taster)

I'm thinking he so puffed up with importance that he loves the idea of having this kind of entourage. It feeds his enormous ego, no doubt!

I just hope Michelle doesn't starve them to death!
