During Obama's 2008 election campaign, he claimed that he would sacrifice vacation among other things. "The bargain that any president strikes with is, you give me this office and in turn my, fears, doubts, insecurities, foibles, need for sleep, family life, vacations, leisure is gone,” Obama said. “I am giving myself to you.”
As the world burns around us, President Obama is enjoying his 20th vacation (I've had 5 since POTUS was elected). So I'm curious, what has changed in your thinking that now justifies such a leisurely presidency for you?
