Why are people obscessed about Obama's vacation?

And no, you can't blame this on Bush and his abuse of same.

The front of the paper here in Honolulu has Obama on the beach but with his clothes on.

To add to the quotes:

James Brown: You're just talkin' loud and sayin' nothing.

Mose Allison: If silence was golden, you couldn't raise a dime. Your mind is on vacation but your mouth is workin' overtime.

this seems a photo-shopped photo of Obama's head stuck on another body at the neck, no?

I honestly don't think it's Obama fatigue so much as just election fatigue.
This has been going on intensely for a year and half and there is more to go. I am sure the pollsters asked Obama's name, but, people are associating it with the election in general. If McCain was asked then the people would say yes to McCain fatigue as well.

It's great to see that Obama is recharging himself on vacation for a week. Why can't McCain go on vacation to recharge himself, too? I think a vacation for the rest of his life is needed and would do nicely.

A good time for a vacation.

1) The Olympics have everybody's attention.
2) John Edwards' affair sucked all the political attention away
3) The Georgia-Russia war doesn't really register politically (even though one could make an argument that it benefits or hurts each candidate).

So, Obama gets out of the news for a while. McCain has to spend his primary money before the convention so he isn't slowing down.

Oh goodie... the makings of a poetry night!

I'd rather learn from one bird how to sing
than teach ten thousand stars how not to dance

e.e. cummings

Pardon the thread jack... sorta.
