Maybe We're Missing the Biggest News (Obama's vacation "detour")

Apologies in advance for this humble vanity post, but I thought this was an important topic that might otherwise slip under the proverbial radar.

Earlier today I had FOX News on in the background and heard the newscaster speculating about the need for Obama's unscheduled vacation detour back to DC when, as we are so often reminded, he can not only discharge his duties from remote locations, but can actually do his job while putting on the fairway or lounging in a jacuzzi.

It occurred to me that anything distracting him from his vacation would have to meet two criteria:

• The communications needed to be in-person in such a way that it could never find its way to the public.
• The issue must relate to something that is expected to take place in the very near future (otherwise it could wait until after the vacation).

I believe it is possible that we're looking at a massive, blanket amnesty granted by presidential decree to large numbers of illegal aliens. There are very few other issues that I think would meet the above criteria.

Photos I saw of him today made me think that he looked more gaunt and sicklier than usual.

Bobby Sherman actually had a couple of good songs, and the Gibbs had a lot more...
