Ah, yes...a vacation...hiking, biking, relaxing...spending some time with the wife, the kids, the dog...and no matter how far away he goes...the SCREAMS of the Repubelicans...sigh.
Apparently, Mr. President should NOT be going on a vacation with the oil spilling into the gulf. We'll conveniently forget that the oil has slowed to a trickle now, and will most likely be done leaking altogether before the weekend is out...and let's ALSO forget that Mr. Obama could do nothing more than he has already. I'm unclear as to what they think he should be doing...should he don a wetsuit, dive down miles beneath the surface and stick his finger in it until the relief well is drilled in mid-August? Really?
I would like to pause and point out that the Repubelicans last favourite..."w the merciless," spent over 900 days at either Camp David or at his ranch in Crawford during his two terms. 900. That's just under HALF. Should we ask how many days he spent taking care of Katrina? Um...well...didn't "Brownie" have that covered? Oh! Right! He was too busy flipping through Quarterhorse Magazine...
I never really trusted any politician, and I don't truly trust Obama at this point, either. But I do still believe that his heart is in the right place, and that he is trying like hell to do what's right. It's unfortunate that congress continues to fight like 12 year-olds on the playground, holding up important legislation (hello! Unemployment benefits extension ran out on June 3rd and still hasn't been voted on!) so that they can posture and gain political ground. In some cases, these are peoples LIVES that they're screwing with. I'm talking about people that have to live in their cars now...
And they're bitching about a weekend in Maine? Really?
