You know, I think we can all agree that Congress should pass legislation mandating five weeks vacations per worker per year in this country. If it's good enough for the President to spend five weeks clearing shrubs while we're at war, then it's good enough for Joe Six Pack.

Actually, the military does get 30 days of paid leave per year.  And since he's the commander-in-chief, he should get at least that.

I just wish I was still in the military!  I miss that much vacation time!

Yeah, we lost 2 Marines that were from here on the coast of MS in that same attack.  It's always sad.  I'll be online doing more tribute pages tonight.

They're trying to make him look bad, jerk. It's all a stupid game. With technology increasing, it's not like he can't communicate while being there.

I mean, not that he hasn't spent over 300 days on vacation, amounting to 20% of his presidency...
