Still Stupid

Should President Obama go on vacation? There seems to be a chorus of "don't go" in the land.

Give the man a break. I may not like much of what he is doing, but no president truly goes offline when "on vacation." Do you really think he had to clear his desk before leaving and put extended absence greetings on his voice mail and email? The president is the president no matter where he is or what he is doing. The job is tough enough without chaining him to the Oval Office desk.

I hated it when opponents of President Bush slammed him for going on vacation. It was a stupid line of attack then. I won't change my mind on that issue just because it would be convenient.

Take a vacation, Mister President. There's nothing wrong with that.
