[VIDEO] OBAMA LEAVING FOR LAS VEGAS AS STOCK MARKET CRASHES

President Obama returned from his Martha’s Vineyard vacation to Washington D.C. last night, only to wake up to negative headlines about the stock market crashing, partially in reaction to financial troubles in China.

But the president won’t be in the White House to see the market close. Later this afternoon he will board Air Force One for a trip to Las Vegas where he is expected to make a speech at the National Clean Energy Summit to promote his stiff regulatory policy on power plant emissions.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell more than 1,000 points after it opened this morning, suggesting another frightening close for markets at the end of the day.

Later this evening President Obama has scheduled a fundraiser for the Nevada State Democratic Party and Catherine Cortez Masto, the Democratic candidate hoping to replace retiring  Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV)

Post-holiday blues? The Obamas look glum as they return home from Martha's Vineyard

President Barack and the first lady looked glum as they stepped off Marine One in Cape Cod as their annual summer vacation drew to a close.

The pair, who have been on vacation in Martha's Vineyard, then managed to overcome their disappointment and put on a smile as they greeted a crowd at the Air Force base before they flew back to Washington.

Their two-week break on the Massachusetts island has become an annual tradition for the first family - and this year they enjoyed bike rides.

The President squeezed in one more round of golf at Farm Neck Golf Club in Oak Bluffs before the journey home as he prepares to meet the daunting fall period on Capitol Hill.  

As the first family disembarked Air Force One in the capital, Obama took the hand of his 17-year-old daughter Malia, while his wife and Sasha, 14, followed behind.

[VIDEO] Another Vacation! Obamas Off To $12 Million Home In Martha’s Vineyard For Two Weeks In August

As the weather heats up in Washington, DC, the Obamas as planning their summer vacation.

The Boston Herald reports that President Barack Obama, first lady Michelle and daughters Sasha and Malia will be staying on Martha's Vineyard from August 8-23.

The Obamas have spent almost every single summer on the tony island off the coast of Massachusetts' Cape Cod except for 2012 - when the president was running for re-election. 

Continuing yet another tradition of their annual retreat, the Obamas are also expected to stay at the same $12million 'cottage' in Chilmark they rented last year.

The 8,100-square-foot home features seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a basketball/tennis court, hot tub, infinity pool and views of the Elizabeth Islands. 

The home is owned by wealthy widow Joanna Hubschman, whose husband Henry died of cancer in 2011. 

Four years before his death, Mr Hubschman, a General Electric executive, contributed $6,900 - the maximum donation then allowed - to Hillary Clinton's 2008 bid for president, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. 

However, it was Barack Obama who took the party's ticket and went on to win the White House.

Two weeks before the general election, Mr Hubschman contributed $2,300 to Obama's campaign. 

This year's vacation is likely to be a bit more relaxing for Mr Obama, who faced a wave of criticism for his golf playing last year in the midst of a crisis with ISIS.
