The Camp is operated by Navy personnel, and troops from the Marine Barracks in Washington, D.C., provide permanent security. Marine One carries the President during the half-hour helicopter ride from our Nation's capital. Guests at Camp David can enjoy a pool, putting green, driving range, tennis courts, gymnasium, and the many guest cabins -- Dogwood, Maple, Holly, Birch, and Rosebud, to name a few. The presidential cabin is called Aspen Lodge.
Personally, I tend to believe he only uses it as a vacation spot. Think about it...This is a president known to vote present during any type of crisis. Even though he has the exact same access to info at Camp David as he does at the WH, it still provides him with the opportunity for a vacation as well as a way to provide excuses since he was so isolated way off in the country at Camp David.
Isn't it wonderful we have such a great (mentally/emotionally)leader in charge especially during a crisis.
Just out of my own curiousity, I wonder what exactly he's sacrificed in support of our troops over in Iraq and Afghanistan.
President Bush on the other hand gave up golf (and there may be other things he gave up). While our military fought, lost lives and suffered severe injuries, Nero fiddled as Rome burned.
Camp David looks very nice! For me it would be a vacation. For presidents, it is a nice getaway. For some it becomes like a second home, which is fine with me since it is so close to the WH.
