The Conservative talkers have been all a clatter this weekend aboot President Obama’s plans to journey to Martha’s Vineyard (which is not a vineyard and we don’t know who Martha is… if you do, please comment) for a week long vacation. They’ve pointed out that Obama is deserting his post in the midst of an epic health care crisis, and he should stay and solve things instead of golf with Tiger Woods.

I actually think that the Obama-cation is a good thing – on a human level and a practical national health (as in ‘health of the nation’ and not ‘national health care’) type of one.

Barack Obama is a human being, as such – he gets tired. He grows weary! At such junctures it behooves human beings to go off somewhere and rest.
