1. Yeah, all that vacation time, right?

2. Carney said

Obama works tirelessly on jobs each and every day. EVERY DAY!


Don't you think he is entitled to a vacation to Martha's vineyard to hang out with big media bosses, and don't you think he is entitled to some time at Camp David the week after? He is working his fingers to the bone. Let's give the man a break! He is no Clinton, who only took 24 days of vacation his first few years in office. Nobody is like Clinton; he was superman.

4. I WANT him to take a vacation and relax.

We do not need a fried out president. We want him fresh and whole. So silly to complain about his vacations. He is always always working and I wish him a good restful break now and then.

5. Ummm......

you seem to be ignoring:


Two great choices for Supreme Court.

The Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act

The Matthew Shepard Hates Crimes Prevention Act (which they said could not be done)

Children's Health Insurance

Tobacco Regulation

Credit Card Reform

Student Loan Reform

The Stimulus (including the largest tax cut ever, the largest investment in clean energy ever, the single largest investment in education in our country ever)

Health Reform

Wall Street Reform

The New G.I. Bill

The Food Safety Modernization Act (the most expansive food reform bill since the 1930s)

The Don't Ask Don't Tell Repeal

The New Start Treaty (even when the (R)s said he would never be able to get it passed)

Locking up over half the loose nuclear material in the world in less than half of his first term, something most (R)s thought impossible.




Most of that list is from The Rachel Maddow Show and is included in this clip
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/#4077 ...

In that clip she also estimates that ~85% of what President Obama said he wanted to accomplish in his first term had been accomplished in the first half of his first term.

6. Could it be he doesn't know?

Sometimes I wonder if he isn't aware of all the tools he could be using. So many times I've wanted to tell him "You're no longer a senator! You're not a moderator or a referee! You're the president and we really need you to use everything at YOUR unique and empowered disposal to step in and help us! And we will 100% have your back!!!"
