No vacation until the job is done!

The President should not go on vacation right now. The wackos and dingbats of the chattering class are correct this time, it looks terrible. Purely as a political calculation, it’s a horrible blunder and it’s not just the right-wing that thinks so.

As they say in politics, the Optics couldn’t be worse. It doesn’t matter that all the bang and clatter of the presidency follows him wherever he goes, whether it’s Martha’s Vineyard or Camp David. The Left gave Dumbleyou shit for years about his frequent brush-clearing extravaganzas; we’d be hypocritical to make excuses for similar behavior from our guy.

Hell, we ought to hold our guy to a higher standard than Bush. Wasn’t that what Obama campaigned on in the first place?

At a time when the Average Joe is having a hell of a time just meeting his monthly obligations—let alone paying off his debts—and those are the lucky ones... this isn’t a wise time to flaunt the perks of office. He’s giving the GOP candidates and punditry talking points and photo ops with which to pillory him in next year’s election. Like he won’t already have enough strikes against him.

What happened to the crafty motherfucker who stole our hearts in 2007-8?
