Obama shoulda taken the vacation before all these decisions were made...
Good decisions all cept for a couple...which ain't bad considering he went 21 months w/o screwing it up...was it the Fatigue Factor???...Got a bit tired there???

When he comes back to the Fray....his plate is full but his system to solve is such its OK....

His main mission will be to rein in the different personalities to focus on the over view....That of making the Agenda Work...(Healing/Advancing)

Our Nation needs a respite from Fear/Misery/Hurt.....and Obama is the Key in Place to make it all happen

4. Yes, some say the Warren pick was Brilliant while others say its betrayal...
Who knows what he had in mind...

All together now...we go sing....

5. With all that's facing him, this may be the last vacation for like 8 years.
And, after that long, grueling primary/general election, he certainly deserves a vacation.

Hope they're having a great time.


Peace:thumbsup:

6. Yes, it sure seems that way....but in his favor, the Shrub has set a High Vacation Standard
Meaning Obama can Vacation only 1/2 of the Bush Time and still look Good...

If anything, Obama Family having a wonderful time....the unwinding must be so refreshing...to relax a bit....not set on High Alert..

DefCon5 24/7 is a killer....

A Hawaiian Beer to ya

7. You may be right
although, if this is so, I really feel for his little girls (and, for Michelle).

I remember 9/11, 2001 -- Bush was on vacation for the entire month of August, and, I think that he had some kind of record that year for presidential vacations (not sure, but, I seem to remember this).

What a contrast.
