Guard watches coast for oil slick's first wave

[tryfuhl]

vacation during an oil spill, vacation during a war.. the way this country is running through the past SEVERAL presidencies not a single one should get a vacation day if we're talking about negative things going on

unfortunately there's only so much he can do every single day about it.. and just playing 18 doesn't mean you didn't hit the office at all or at least get briefed on it

I mean do you want him pushing more legislature on this or what?

I'm not saying Obama is perfect or even the guy that I wanted him to be (because he's not) but I find it hard to fault him for going a round the day before Father's Day. This could've been arranged for him as a gift for all that we know.

And picked up clearing brushes and riding a bicycles. Presidents are not drones expected to work 24/7, they have personal lives and are permitted to time-off to recharge their happy-meter.

I have never understood people's harping on vacations by the President (any President). Regardless of political views, this is the guy that has to respond in an instant in case of emergencies. Has to put his name on a bunch of legislation. Do we as citizens want him/her to be on a short fuse, or a frustrated/frazzled mind set. I am fairly confident that no matter what "vacation" they take, they still get morning briefings, still give basic guidance and directives. People who b**** about that usually don't like the politics of the guy and really just want to smear him, again this is our political system. Personally, I would be very happy if the whole congress/executive branch had a required 3-4 month period where they had to focus on working a "regular" job, and away from the political bickering, only to be called up if an emergency session was needed.

Can't have it both ways, Obama:

White House mocks Heyward's yachting...

and defends Obama's golfing.
