Why won't Barack Obama vacation? Is it a political ploy?

[rfranklin]

By this time in his tenure George Bush had been on vacation at last four or five months. I can't recall Obama taking one vacation yet. Is this just political grandstanding?

1. They're doing 2 weeks in Martha's Vineyard in August

Overlapping with the Clintons apparently (Chelsea's wedding maybe??).

2. Sounds like it.

Thanks for filling us in; I missed that!

So he'll be near SOS during a time she'll be particularly busy! Nice.

4. But the Vineyard is like Hawaii....it's so Elitist

Obama should go to Myrtle Beach if he wants to stay on the right side of Cokie.

3. He's onlty been in office four months. Give him some slack.
