While the issue of healthcare has been a fiery debate in Washington DC, when it comes to personal healthcare and wellness, it’s reassuring to know there’s no debate for the President and First Lady.

Barack and Michelle Obama are heading for a much-deserved spa getaway in North Carolina this weekend. The Obamas have always placed emphasis on health and wellness, between the President’s consistent workout schedule even on the grueling campaign trail and Michelle’s efforts to raise awareness about the childhood obesity epidemic. This spa getaway is no different.

According to CBS News, they’ve only gone on four holiday trips since moving into the White House:

- a long weekend back home in Chicago in February ’09
- a few days out west in August ’09 during which the president went fly-fishing in Montana & took the family to see Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon
- eight days on Martha’s Vineyard at the end of August ’09
- and a week and a half in Hawaii over last Christmas and New Year’s

Do you think that’s enough getaway time to keep a clear head in the White House 365 days a year?

Whether you’re the Commander in Chief of the United States or the Commander in Chief of a little blog about your shoe obsession… a spa getaway can make anything better upon return. Perhaps this weekend will inspire President Obama to propose another Healthcare Bill add-on, requiring everyone in the US to go to the spa at least twice a year? We vote yes!
