Hey, at least HE didn't go too!

I mean, I can't recall ever having a president take so many publicized vacations within his first year, EVER!

Funny, but how many of us, who ACTUALLY WORK FOR A LIVING, get to take 2 or more vacations a year, and have everyone else pay for them to boot? How many of us were able to just stop work and take off for a week, regardless of what work was like? How many of us would still have those jobs when we returned?

Here's a point to consider: How many other presidents took multiple vacations during their first year in office, and how many took one OUTSIDE the US?
I'm just curious that's all.

Now as for Mrs. Obama, if she were selling this as some kind of "peace mission" or "act of good will" then she might have slipped under the radar, but because it's ANOTHER vacation, she's back in the spotlight again!
