Sunday on NBC´s "Meet The Press," host Chuck Todd took President Barack Obama to task for the optics of going golfing moments after his statement on ISIS beheading journalist James Foley. Obama complained during his vacations he would "love" not to be followed by the press. “You know, it is always a challenge when you’re supposed to be on vacation, because you’re followed everywhere, part of what I would love is a vacation from the press," Obama said. The president did take some responsibility saying, “But there’s no doubt that after having talked to the families, where it was hard for me to hold back tears listening to the

Like Biden said, to The Gates of Hell.

Press would follow him that far, but probably would not stop.

“I’d just like a couple of weeks running my business without Obama’s interference!”

AMEN, Sister! A-MEN!

Wait just a minute. Didn’t he promise us that no matter where or what he was doing, he was always in contact with the WH and on top of national matters? Now, he’s whining because he can’t take a vacation like a normal person.

“...part of what I would love is a vacation from the press,” Obama said.

Welcome to the United States of America, Mr. Obama.

It’s only going to get worse. This administration is enacting regulations left and right with little fanfare, and the GOPe, even if they get a majority, will never roll them back. I would bet that they, much less we, even know a fraction of what all is being done.

“All you have to do is resign and ride off”

Good point. Barry would rather be golfing full-time, so it’s a mystery why he even shows up to work at all. Hard to believe that he is so disconnected from normal human behavior that he is doubling-down on his offensive lack of respect for the deceased. He sees it as purely an “optics” problem - essentially implying that appearances are the only thing that matters. Personification of your traditional empty-suit.

I have this monday off and next monday & tuesday off.
No press is following me around as I will not be flying off to some expensive (to taxpayers) vacation.

obama should stay at that mansion that was bought for him in Chicago so he can enjoy some backyard barbecues with the neighbors and have no press.

Camp David is a vacation spot for the pres without the press - but it’s not posh enough for him = besides, he’s on vacation more than at work anyway
