The bottom line here is that liberals have different criteria for judging presidential down time, depending on whether they approve of the president.

In the case of Bush, he was roundly criticized for time at the ranch.

Some extreme liberals even blame Bush being on vacation for inviting September 11th. Because he spent the month of August 2001 at his ranch, the liberals decided that he was not on the job, and was not able to connect dots and all of that, in order to prevent the planning of Sept. 11th.

But in the case of Obama, we are told that the president is always in contact with his people, that he travels with a large White House staff, etc. and that he’s always on the job, even when out of the White House. The same criteria are not used to judge a Republican president taking a vacation.

ALL of Washington DC closes down in August. It's a swamp out there, and the politicians can't stand the heat and humidity.

And I'm sure that the terrorists knew it. America is at its weakest in August.
