Ed Kilgore thinks people should stop making an issue of how many days of "vacation" the President of the United States takes. I think I've said that myself on this blog and I think I even said it when Bush was in office. It's not like these guys are ever lying on the beach, miles from a phone and unreachable. The Commander-in-Chief is not necessarily neglecting his duties when he's not in the Oval Office, just as he's not necessarily working when he is there. It's what he does or doesn't do we should criticize, not where he does or doesn't do it.
