Let’s be fair here. The President must be exhausted. And why not? Consider:

It gets worse: The travel agency that booked this 3-day tour – for some reason – did NOT book him into any urban areas where blacks and Hispanics are suffering from unemployment rates as much as two or three times the national average. I know how disappointing that must have been for him to have the travel agency neglect to have those areas represented. As that hilarious giant of the comedy world, Janeane Garbagefellow? would say (probably on Bill Mahr’s show [editor: it was Olbermann, actually), “This is racism… straight up!”

What’s that? The Obama administration set the itinerary? Oh… well, I’m sure there was a good reason the President didn’t want to speak to blacks and Hispanics from the inner cities most affected by his failed economic policies.

But as the President would surely point out, the real problem here, folks, is you and I...

The MSM has been falling all over itself trying to defend 0bama for taking so much vacation, supposedly less than GWB. But no one has accounted for the many, many days off for golf and socializing, not actually “vacations”, per se.

Even Megyn Kelly, whom I’m liking a lot less for some reason, brought up the ‘fact’ that Bush took more vacation than Obama.

The truth is that Bush kinda moved operations to his ranch out of DC but it wasn’t all vacation. He entertained foreign leaders there; he had an office that he worked in daily ... AND

It didn’t cost the taxpayers anything. His house, no rent, no huge entourage.

It’s ridiculous to push this fantasy.
