All presidents take vacations, and all are criticized for it. It's never the right place, the right time. Ronald Reagan went to the ranch, George W. Bush to Crawford, both got knocked. Bill Clinton even poll-tested a vacation site and still was criticized. But Martha's Vineyard—elite, upscale—can't have done President Obama any good, especially following the first lady's foray in Spain. The general feeling this week was summed up by David Letterman: "He'll have plenty of time for vacations when his one term is up. Plenty of time."

Too late to repent Peggy. You sold us out. There’s no forgiveness for you.
Noonan is infatuated with pRes_ _ent Obama.

The great question is what happens after November. The hope of the White House, which knows it is about to take a drubbing, is probably this: that the Republicans in Congress will devolve into a freak show, overplay their hand, lose their focus, be a little too colorful. If that meme emerges—and the media will be looking for it—the Republicans may wind up giving the president the positive definition he lacks. They could save him. The White House must be hoping that a year from now, people will start looking at the president and saying "Hey, I do know that guy. He's the moderate."
This is what happened to Clinton, albeit assisted by the booming economy and the terrorist attack in Oklahoma City.

Peg, that meme WILL emerge because the media will
have it’s orders to do so.
She still doesn’t understand.
IIRC Bush was working as President at Crawford ranch while “on vacation”.
The only way I can think of that Noonan could do a disservice to the country would be if a significant number of people took her seriously. I can't imagine that happening, so . . . .

Every one of the comments after her article told her (in their own words) she is delusional and an Obama idolizer.
Peggy, you’re getting older and older.
>>...forget Peggy...read the comments after the article.....<<
Wow! You were right. They are excellent. A couple are far better than her article.
They are also unanimous in their position.
Yeah - admittedly it’s a little difficult to understand how eighteen holes can take all summer.
