Ok, so, Obama is on vacation and golfing....again.
Lots of press.....from BOTH sides (but for VASTLY different reasons)...about how he shouldn't be out golfing, fundraising and vacationing when the world seems to be exploding.

My first comment is:
So what?
Is a President supposed to drop everything and run to the White House at every piece of news, no matter how bad? If he does, doesn't that make him look rather weak? And doesn't it show that he has no faith in the people he has working for him?
Yes.
Presidents are supposed to be Presidential. They are supposed to ACT Presidential, ESPECIALLY in times of crisis.
It calms the nations.
It projects a " you don't matter that much" message to our enemies.
A competent President has a team of advisors and officials in Washington who handle these crises and prepare whatever is necessary to brief the President, upon his return, and guide him to make competent decisions regarding whatever crisis.
So, under "normal" crises circumstances, I'd say that Obama is doing EXACTLY the right thing:
Looking and acting Presidential.
My second comment, now that the first comment has been made, is:
The PROBLEM with this, or ANY OTHER DEMOCRAT, President is two-fold:
1. This President hasn't a CLUE as to what's going on; at least, not until he reads it in the Huffington Post. And even if he WAS clued in, he wouldn't make a decision.....because he is incapable of making decisions. He is VERY much "Nero"; fiddling while Rome burns.
2. While this President is trying to act Presidential, he has to rely on his Cabinet and advisors to handle things. The problem is: That Cabinet and those advisors are even DUMBER than Obama (if that is even possible). They are academics, who've never actually done anything in the real world; only in the theoretical one. This.....THIS.....is the team YOU, America, put in place, through election and through appointment; a team of clueless followers, following a gutless, indecisive coward who has ALSO never had to make a real decision.
Congratulations, America.
You evidently wanted a sh** sandwich, now you get to eat it.
Someone needs to explain to the President that there is a difference between "Presidential" and "clueless"; unless, of course, you are talking about a Democrat.
In that case, the terms are synonymous.
