Obama's Weekend of Love and Hoops


AP: Love and hoops topped the agenda for President Barack Obama this weekend.
Obama, his wife, Michelle, and daughters arrived in Chicago on Friday, their first trip home since they moved into the White House nearly a month ago. Aides said the president planned a low-key, four-day holiday weekend, including a Valentine's Day dinner on Saturday with his wife and a likely basketball game with friends.

Earlier Friday, the House passed the $787 billion economic package that Obama had wanted to sign before he went on vacation. He was expected to watch on television at his Hyde Park home as the Senate cleared the bill for his signature.
