Intresting observations in this article, if a bit too critical. To me, it just goes to show how easily the public is manipulated by the media. One thing that came to mind as I read the article is that although the writer acknowledges that it is fine for Presidents to take vacations, he or she does not suggest what would have been an appropriate vacation for President Obama and his family to take in this case. Perhaps they should have gone to the Jersey shore and stayed at a Motel Six. LOL.
