News reports today say President Barack Obama is taking his 7th vacation since taking office, a little over 100 days ago.
Republicans are dissing him, saying he is showing a lack of empathy for the people.
Deomocrats point out that President Bush took a heckuva lot of vacations himself, so they - the Republicans - are being hypocrites.
There are several things to consider here.
1. A President is under tremendous pressure, guiding the country, working on foreign policy, etc. Surely they need some mental health time.
2. The country is in such dire straights...should the President not take vacations when his constituents can't afford them? Take his mental health time by relaxing at the White House instead?
3. Did the Democrats rip Bush for taking so many vacations?
#3 is the question I'll do some research to answer. Results posted tomorrow or Sunday.
