Chicago Sun-Times columnist Michael Sneed has a follow-up to her exclusive this past Tuesday about President Obama’s family trip to an exclusive resort in Florida. She writes:

Finally: As per Sneed’s exclusive tip last Tuesday, President Obama en famille stayed this weekend at the exclusive Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Fla., the home of the nation’s uber-rich— which includes GOP gubernatorial contender Bruce Rauner.
