NATION IN CRISIS: Obama’s vacation plans in jeopardy
It's tough being the (nominal) leader of the free world, with people lookin' to you for leadership 'n' stuff.
Vladimir Putin has put President Barack Obama’s vacation plans on hold.
Obama is headed to Coral Reef High School in the southern part of Miami, Fla., on Friday for an event about education and the economy that first lady Michelle Obama had been expected to attend as well. What hadn’t been known was that Obama’s daughters were planning to come with them, and that the four were going to extend the trip for a brief family getaway.
Now, the White House tells POLITICO that he’s reconsidering.
You know, if someone had told this jagoff in 2007 that the job he thought he wanted required working the occasional weekend and not taking the Big Jet on one endless family vacation, he'd still be Senator Obama from Illinois.
