Obamas Enjoy Jazz Concert, Dinner as Ferguson Burns

While the town of Ferguson, Missouri erupted in violent clashes between police and rioters, the President and Mrs. Obama enjoyed a nice diner out on the town and a cool jazz concert at their Martha’s Vineyard vacation.

As the First couple wraps up their vacation in exclusive Martha’s Vineyard on Sunday, August 18, the President and wife Michelle enjoyed a nice dinner out on the town, according to the White House pool reporter.

The two also enjoyed a jazz concert before dinner.

After their night on the town, the First Family made preparations to head back to Washington D.C.

By late evening on Sunday, Obama was photographed arriving on the South Lawn of the White House with his daughter Malia in tow.

Meanwhile, as the Obamas enjoy the last day of their vacation, protesters were again throwing Molotov cocktails at police in Ferguson, Missouri and riots once again ripped through the embattled town. Police responded with tear gas and riot tactics to break up protests.

By late Sunday evening there were unconfirmed reports that at least two protesters were shot and killed on Sunday night before the midnight curfew was imposed.
