vacation

ABCNEWS has a story about Presidential perks in light of BHO's limiting of executive pay.

The story includes this line from "presidential historian and ABC News consultant Richard Norton Smith":

"Certainly, if the president goes on vacation, it's part of the job, because the president never goes on vacation," Smith said. "I don't you think you can legitimately argue against the communications and everything else that travels with and surrounds a president."

While I fully agree with what Smith said, I am left wondering if this is the same mainstream media that would run story after story about how Bush was "on vacation" during some "national crisis"?  Even going so far as to ask Is the President Taking Too Much Time Off?

But now they turn around and admit, finally and with no hint of irony, that Presidents never really "go on vacation" because BHO is in office.

Go figure.
