ORIGINAL: TheHeretic Why yes, Sternskipper. The President does indeed seem to be comfortably numb to what's going on in the world of people who don't get all the holidays off, with pay. This right here shows how little credibility you have in your rant on this thread. Take for a moment and place yourself in the President's shoes. Any one of them for the last twenty years (Clinton, Bush, Obama). They have less 'time off' than most Americans do. They are at their job 24/7 (including leap year!). Not an hour goes by that something, somewhere, by someone, is up to something that could have a damaging effect on the nation, state, or individual citizen at any time. And that they are held to a high level of responsibility and accountibility, that their actions and words can effect world finanical markets for days at a time. That at any one time, their are individuals and groups that wish to do them and their families harm (more so with President Obama than the other two put together). And if they take an hour off, just to relax to shoot some hoops or be an old fashion rancher, HOARDS of people jump down their throats. And I havent even gotten to the numerous amount of people that do stuff towards a US President externally of the White House.... If you look at pictures of each of the three most recent Presidents (Clinton, Bush, and Obama) when they entered the White House, to leaving (or current in the case of Obama), you might noticed they looked aged. Their bodies have had to perform like a 20 year old's in a 50-70 year old shell. They have a team of highly trained medical doctors that handle their physical, mental and emotional problems (cus stress takes its toll in any job); but yet, their bodies have aged 10-15 years if they didnt take the job! Doesn't matter if the President is liberal, moderate, or conservative. Nor being Democrat, Republican, Wig, or any other political party. The real toll on their health and lives is such that I'm 'ok', if they want to take some time off and relax. Take in a NBA game, go golfing, fish with friends, or watch the lastest movie in the theaters. Regardless, its a safe bet that President Obama, understands that not everyone gets to celebrate Evacuation Day or even the 4th of July! In fact, in years past, the US Military was usually on alert (particularly when the USSR was in operation) during the NFL Super Bowl! So take your aboslute 'crappy' attitude towards the President and shove it!
