Obama: I Will Not Rest Until..., Ahh, Screw That


Well, everything must be just dandy as Obama takes his 6th official vacation of the year. How many unofficial ones he has taken, I don't think anybody knows.
From the U.K. Telegraph:
President Barack Obama will be accompanied by his wife Michelle and daughters Malia, 12, and Sasha, nine, and are expected to stay at the historic Blue Heron Farm in Chilmark.
Bill Burton, the deputy White House press secretary, said that the
US president was “going to spend a little time recharging his batteries” at the Massachusetts island ahead of the November midterm elections.
“There will be some hiking, some time at the beach, some time at the ice cream store - all the sort of things you do when you’re at Martha’s Vineyard. You enjoy the people and the good food.”
He is also expected to work on his swing at Mink Meadows golf club in Vineyard Haven and to work out every day, as he did when the First Family visited Martha’s Vineyard last year.
The tally of vacation days for an American president has become a contentious issue in recent years. President Bill Clinton conducted a poll about where best to holiday. President George W. Bush spent a total of 879 days on holiday in his eight years in office, according to Mark Knoller of CBS, the unofficial statistician of the presidency.
Mr Bush was usually working at his Prairie Chapel ranch in Texas, which was named the “Western White House” during his long summers there when he was accompanied by dozens of staff.

This guy must think he is still a tenured professor when he thinks he can work when ever he wants.
I'm sorry, when the economy is tanking because of his policies, he shouldn't be fiddling when the U.S. is burning.

Obama needs to grow up.
