It's OK if Obama goes on vacation ... really

The President is going on a ten day vacation. It isn’t the end of the world. Actually, it shouldn’t be an issue at all. If you think it is an issue, you’re wrong. First of all, do you really think he’s leaving work behind? You think he completely checks out and he is out of contact for ten days? Second, you do realize that the President does have a staff … a pretty big staff. They do stuff. Third, you do know that the President is a human being with a job, and probably should still get a vacation … right? Fourth, what does this have to do with the problems facing this country? Is it any more connected than the color of his new bus? Fifth, Reagan took a whole year off over the course of his presidency and George Bush the Younger was in Crawford more than Washington D.C. So, what is going on here … is it only Black Presidents that don’t get to go on vacation? Sixth, let’s get back to the problems facing the country. Why don’t we focus on those rather than on the perceived personal failures of the President? If you can’t focus on the issues, and keep the debate there, I have to assume that’s because you don’t really think you have much of an argument. Why don’t you try to prove me wrong?
