Remember the good old days when we had a manly President who relaxed by clearing brush and chopping logs at the Western White House? Reinvigorated, Ronald Reagan then winged his way back to Washington to beat up on Democrats for fun.
Well, strolling on the beach, window shopping, reappointing Federal Reserve chairmen and not visiting dying senators is even more exhausting than chopping logs and clearing brush.
White House Spokesman Bill Burton explained to the media that President Obama now needs “a break from his vacation”.
So as soon as his sojourn at Marxist Vineyard is over, he’ll rest up at Camp David for a few days before finally heading back to Washington, DC.
It appears that the President wants to stay away as long as possible.
His current vacation was preceded by family trips to Yellowstone and Grand Canyon National Parks. And that was preceded by another trip to Camp David that ended on July 20. And, of course, even when he’s in Washington, he gets still manages get away from the house to play 18 holes of golf every week.
We should have anticipated this. You could see it coming a mile away.
You wouldn’t be in a hurry to go home, either, if your mother-in-law lived with you. Or is this simply a case of what psychologists call projection?
