Pete Buttigieg vacations during rail strike

 This guy is not a serious candidate for president.  This sums up all you need to know about him.

Schedule update

I'm officially on vacation for this week and next - at least from my day job.  We're not going away or anything, though I do have some stuff planned.  I may actually have more time to blog, which is a bonus.  Well, for me it's a bonus.

Stay tuned for more frequent blogging over the next two weeks.

Obama succumbs to scruples

In case you forgot this one.

Recently I pointed out that president Obama had the nerve to demand Congress work through the holidays while he went on vacation for 17 days.  So did Mitt Romney (although I think I was first).  It turns out the president has succumbed to scruples or else he realized he just couldn't get away with the hypocrisy.

President Obama is not vacationing in Hawaii with his wife and children while the extension of the payroll tax holiday remains in limbo, and has warned GOP congressional leaders to stay in town as well.

Obama had planned to fly to Hawaii with his family on Dec. 17 and stay there through New Year’s.

After getting ripped by GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney over his vacation plans, Obama told Senate Democratic leaders Wednesday that he will stay in town until Congress finishes work on the payroll tax holiday, unemployment benefits and other issues.

Now, if only we could get him to get past the hypocrisy on this. It's actually the bigger issue.

Do As I Say, Not As I Do

The country needs more of this from him?

President Obama has decided Congress has to work, while he gets to go on vacation.  The two news stories juxtaposed are striking in that they show a president contemptuous in his outlook and with lots of imperial in his nature.

First via Bloomberg this week;

President Barack Obama said members of Congress “shouldn’t go home for the holidays” until they extend a payroll tax cut that is needed to maintain and strengthen U.S. economic growth.

Next via the Daily Mail;

While most Americans are lucky to get a few weeks of holiday every year, it seems the country’s leader gets a little more freedom in the matter.

President Barack Obama has announced his Christmas vacation to Hawaii – for a staggering 17-day trip. Obama, who visited the island just two weeks ago for an economic summit, will head to Honolulu on Saturday December 17 until Monday January 2.

Rhetorical question:  How does he get away with this stuff? 

Obama is twice the man Bush was!

President Obama is twice the man President Bush was - sorta.  Consider the following statistics.

Two vacations speaks volumes.
