Footloose: Having no attachments or ties; free to do as one pleases
I was just listening to our local news when the newsperson (I hesitate to use the word journalist) commented, "President Barack (Hussein) Obama is still enjoying some 'down time' in Hawaii."
So he is. At $4000 per night. Charged to the American tax-payer. Including those without jobs. If he wanted to get away, he couldn't have taken the family to Camp David?
And down time?
Must be that he's tired from all the shifting blame (it's Bush's fault) and all the dodging and weaving instead of doing his job.
Maybe he's tired from all the self -promotion and traveling:
to New York and back for the Walter Cronkite tribute;
to Copenhagen and back TWICE
- lobbying for the 2014 Olympics even tho Michelle and Oprah were already there (they took the smaller AF One, also at taxpayer expense); he spent all of 4 hours in Copenhagen and left before the decision was announced;
- and for the Climate conference (he came back with nothing, but Scty of State Hillary did manage to promise $100,000,000,000 (BILLION) taxpayer dollars to a bunch of dead-end countries;
to Oslo and back to receive the (Ig)Nobel Prize;
to Chicago and back for Valentine's Day with the wife;
to Hawaii and back for a $4000 per night 10-day Holiday:
None of which were essential presidential state business.
But NOT to Berlin for the 20th anniversary for the Fall of the Wall (Barky refuses to acknowledge any accomplishment by any GOP president) , NOR to any war zone to visit the troops on the holidays. Go figure.

Man! If it weren't for campaigning for any-person-thing registered as Dummycrat, date night with the wife, or self-promotion... he'd be sitting in that boring Oval Office actually having to be presidential instead of acting like it.
