A Democrat President goes on vacation?! Cue up right-wing indignation!
A President on vacation still has meetings, still has daily briefings, still has the codes for the nuclear football. It's not like he unplugs and disappears into the woods for a period of weeks.

I mean...
Were you just as indignant when Bush took a month off immediately before 9/11?
What about when Bush shattered days-off record?
"Calls to several Presidential libraries reveal that President Obama’s predecessor, George W. Bush, was on vacation more — 1,020 days — than any U.S. President since Herbert Hoover and possibly more than any other President in history. Bush took the longest single vacation — 5 weeks — of any President in 36 years.
...
President Bush spent 32% of his presidency on vacation." Source.
...and Congress is on vacay FAR more than the-POTUS:
The 2013 [Congressional] calendar released by House Republican Majority Leader Eric Cantor lists only 128 days scheduled for the next year. That’s about two days off for every one on the job.
Perhaps the right-wing ought to be taking issue with congressional vacation time before they criticize the president. Hell...wake me up there's a real story here and not just more of the IOKIYAR bullshit. Leaders of the free world, Republicans and Dems alike, deserve some time off. If they choose to work from home-base (Crawford, Santa Barbara, Hawaii) as opposed to the White House: So be it. Originally Posted by SaytownFinest
