Sheesh...the president is going on vacation. So what? The "media" seems to berate him for this little trip to Martha's Vineyard. Do we really think he's not going to have regular updates on what's going on around the country?
Do we think that he's turning off all cell phones and telling his "people" not to talk to him for the next week? That he'll get his "news" from the local newspaper or the internet?
When congress goes home for their recesses, do we really think they're out talking to their "constituents? Don't we really look upon those occasions as being mini-vacations? Plus the "real" vacations they take while they're in Washington? Yet we accept that as part of their position.
Everyone needs some time off to just be somewhat idle. Spend time with family. Even the president is entitled to that. His job is 24/7/365 and vacations are no exception. So he may be away, but he's not totally out of touch!
And how many of us would postpone a vacation if our "job" needed us more? Very, very, very few!!! We feel we are entitled, and deserve our time off. And the majority of us do have the good fortune to not answer calls from work, or spend time planning our next moves while the family frolics.
I'm going in October, so don't bother me, please...Day 169!
