President Obama spends night at Chicago home

President Barack Obama has left Chicago after spending the night at his home on the city’s South Side.

Obama spent part of Saturday morning taking a walk around the Hyde Park neighborhood with White House adviser Valerie Jarrett.

The last time Obama stopped by his home was in January. It was a quick visit, not an overnight stay.

He last slept in the house on April 2011, when he was in Chicago on a fundraising trip.

He was fundraising in his home city again on Friday, with three events packed into four hours. He added at least $3.5 million to the estimated $1.8 million he raised earlier Friday in Minneapolis.

In Chicago he told a crowd of donors gathered at the Chicago Cultural Center: “It’s good to be home.”
