The failures that allowed the unsuccessful Christmas Day terrorist attack have marred President Barack Obama’s relaxation schedule in Hawaii, CBS’s Jeff Glor and Chip Reid regretted Thursday night as Reid fretted Obama had “hoped to spend this vacation recharging his batteries, but now he appears to be spending most of it working” and assured viewers Obama is moving fast to protect Americans: “The President has immersed himself in the details of the review and that individuals will be held accountable, but the top priority now is to make sure it doesn't happen again.”

Betcha next weekend he’ll be at Camp David for a few days.
Hope Rush can find the long form while he’s in Honolulu. Maybe Pelosi’s looking for it too, while she’s there.

I guess Obama fast-forwarded through all those parts of West Wing showing that the president never gets to rest....

Ooooooo! Oooooo! Nice! NEVEREADY

Are you home?

Yes...for a little while.

Happy New Year to you!

[maggief]

I recommend Kenya.

“Senior administration officials said that Obama at no point considered cutting short his trip to attend to matters on the mainland, and they could not deny that Obama still had plenty of fun despite the unexpected crises”

That's what's important -- that he's having fun in the sun and can't be bothered by boring administrative matters.

Obama is lazy.

that poor bastard has to WORK??? AWWWW... I feel like crying for him.

Ghetto trash Obama and Michelle been on vacation since they took their first breath of air.

A bunch of free loaders.

Yup, he’s had everything handed to him on a silver platter without working for it and no academic records to review, now our AA POTUS finds out it’s a real job. I’ll even bet the chances are high he had other people write his papers in school - those were the days before you could buy them online.

He is rea;;y po’d that the President of the United States is a 24/7 job.

He has no stomach for REAL wrok.
He is a shell that only has an attactive (flashy)exterior, but when opened NO Pearl.

Excellent point, Scotswife. McCain was portrayed as having one foot in the grave, juxtaposed with the superhuman B.O. By the way, JFK’s physical vigor was also a manufactured product of the media. Like FDR, he was actually quite feeble and frail.

Seems like democrats are the only ones allowed to take vacation and enjoy life while everyone else is expected to work without any downtime. Reminds me of one libtard manager I had about 5 years ago. He told me I should take a day there, a day here for vacation and told me that he is against me taking two weeks off at once and was even against me taking one week off. Right after that lecture, he took two weeks off and went to Cape Cod. I would have like to told him that he fit in there.

Meanwhile, when W took a vacation, the MSM berated him so badly that he didn’t take another so long as troops were engaged.

I’m pretty sick and tired of the way liberals feel free to spew their leftist bull$hit at work because it’s, you know, “PC.”

If a conservative says something back, they are the ones called down to HR.

2010 will be amusing for the country, not for the POTUS. As the WH visitor lists unmask his “Gay Tiger” moments, there will be some wailing and gnashing of teeth amongst his followers. His reputation of being a lousy tipper will be his legacy....
