The White House brushed off concerns Friday that, with the crisis in Crimea intensifying, now might not be the best time for President Obama -- and his vice president -- to go on vacation.
The travel schedules of both the president and Vice President Biden have come under scrutiny, given the rapidly changing situation in Ukraine. Obama, already in Florida to talk about education, was planning to spend some family time this weekend in Key Largo, Fla., where he arrived late in the day. Biden, meanwhile, will be in the Virgin Islands.
Despite some apparent discussion over cutting the president's trip short, White House spokesman Josh Earnest indicated the president would be able to handle the crisis from out of the office.
"The president over the course of a very busy week has maintained his schedule and his ability to monitor ongoing events in Ukraine. I would anticipate that he'll do the same thing this weekend," Earnest said. "And the fact of the matter is what the president is doing this weekend in Florida is essentially what the president will be doing if he stayed back at the White House. It's just that the weather will be a little warmer."

They do have their priorities

Chewie is living well..........gone are the days of the bellie belt and shrunk short sleeve sweaters.
Obama is clearly taking down the Democratic Party. I keep wondering when the party power base will realize this and ask him to contract an illness and step down. The optics and timing of this vacation are eerie.
The media would have us believe that all is kosher between Obama and his party, I’m not so sure.
Obama has clearly thrown in the towel on Obamacare, now he’s ignoring a major foreign policy problem. His own party has ceased to do his bidding in Congress.
Take an expensive vacation is precisely what these two would do if they knew they were on the way out.
Am I reading too much into this?
The nice thing about leading from behind and leading from weakness is that it doesn’t require much time and doesn’t interfere with your activities.
.....as soon as Pootie decided he was going in.....I noted Odungo was heading on vacation. Over the last 5 years it’s what he does...crises?..off he runs
As was true of Reagan at his ranch, Bush in Crawford (or in the air), and Obama “on vacation” now, it doesn’t really matter where the president is. That question is all made up by the political party which is out of power at the moment, and it gives the Washington press something to talk about to relieve what has to be the most boring assignment in the world.
