It's only a semi-auto pen, and the lack of a folding stock makes it ok.

As of October, Obama spent 72 days on vacation and 54 days at Camp David during his 3.5 years in office. So that's 126 days and if we include this one, and assume two weeks, Obama will spend 140 days out of the White House in one term.
· Ronald Reagan was away for 436 days, usually at Rancho del Cielo (his mountaintop retreat in California) or Camp David for an average of 218 days each term.
· George W. Bush spent 32 months at his ranch (490 days) or Camp David (487 days) — an average of four months away every year. That's an average of 488 days each term.
Link? And can you break it down by vacation days and Camp David days? TIA

Their stays at their personal residences were hardly vacations for Reagan or Bush. And I never accused Obama of being lazy. He has eschewed signing ceremonies since early in his Presidency. The reasons for doing so are open to debate. According to Republicans he has done so to prevent the public from noticing that Congress has been passing bipartisan legislation regularly so that he can accuse Congress, and specifically the Republicans in Congress, of obstructionism.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough, but my intention was to point out that Obama plays political hardball with everything he does. So it is only fair for the other side to do the same.
