Come on. Now it's the new, new canard.... too much golf. Bush was on
vacation for 1/3 of his term in office. That was ok with you? It's ok
with you for Obama to "just make a decision," rather than actually think
it through? Keep pounding away at the golf theme if you think that'll
help.

Yes, it is a canard, as Bush's vacations were. With modern
communications, neither President is ever out of reach. Frankly,
whatever relieves the stress. Watch how a President ages before your
eyes. Bush showed the wear of eight years, and Obama is starting to show
some after only nine months. IMO, he can golf all he wants.

Agree. Anything to keep him off the streets.

dammit - you beat me to it.
