Let's face it: In terms of downtime, President Obama's vacation has been a bit of a gyp.Um...hello?! Where's the racial insensitivity police here?? I'm certain that Gypsies everywhere will be demanding an apology on front page news tomorrow!First, he had to interrupt his R&R to renominate Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke.
Then he got the bad news about his friend Ted Kennedy.
And then there are the latest dispatches from the summer of no love for the nation's lawmakers and what they might mean for the president's No. 1 legislative priority, an overhaul of the nation's health care system.
Anyway, I completely agree with Ace of Spades when he says this:
We got glimmers of this when, after just a couple weeks in office, the Obamas just had to escape for a little while. The guy just isn't used to this kind of pressure, and he doesn't know how to cope.Huh. The president has duties even when on vacation. Who would have thought.
I don't know how Obama is going to handle pressure. He might handle it well, being fundamentally detached, unserious, and dream-dazed, and so immune to the normal stressors.
On the other hand, I kind of worry that this poseur has never had a position of responsibility in his life -- his highest-stress position was editing the Law Review 20 years ago -- and it's possible he's going to freak and crack as he experiences difficulties and trouble for the first time in his life.
To me, this is an indicator that someone is pulling Obama's strings. His only responsibility is to sell the American people on his radical Leftist ideology; someone else is making all the decisions and holding the real power. For him to be so concerned about vacationing while his #1 legislative priority tanks, his poll numbers drop past 50%, his own party is now talking about massive mid-term losses, and tremendous grass roots opposition to all of his major initiatives...well, that's a guy who doesn't have much responsibility, you know?
Just sayin'.
There's my two cents.
