re: Should Obama be playing golf with the shite storms happening everywhere?

I think that Presidents are often so removed from everyday reality that they don't understand how certain activities look to regular citizens. All of the Presidents in my lifetime have been guilty of this from time to time.

I personally have no problem with any Presidential vacation as I know the job stays with them whoever they are. In fact I think it was Nancy Reagan that said Presidents don't get vacations, they just get a change of scenery.
