I think this is a dead horse. It’s become great theatre to berate Presidents on taking vacations during crises, especially the last two. Time to stop. We are going to be in crisis for the next 25 years, let the President have a few hours to chill out a bit. He’ll have 20 aides with blackberries and laptops and cell phones within 100 feet of him at all times. Live your lives people, fix your own shit.
