For the second straight year, the first family has landed on this island of quaint seaside towns, second homes and working farms for a late-summer getaway.
But this year, more so than last, political opponents are trying to hang a question over the visit: Does President Obama deserve a vacation?
The Republican National Committee has taken to calling Obama "the Clark Griswold president," a mocking reference to the Chevy Chase character in National Lampoon's "Vacation" movies. With unemployment claims climbing again, the GOP was hoping its criticism would have a certain national resonance. And maybe it will.Maybe it will, especially if the Village keeps writing stories and giving legitimacy to the idiotic complaints. At least the WaPo article does mention why the Republicans look completely foolish here:
One potential complication: Obama has spent far less time on vacation than his Republican predecessor, George W. Bush, had at this point in his presidency.Oh yeah, there is that...
Hey folks, it's not like the GOP has any real solutions to our problems here either. But that's why it's Obama Derangement Syndrome: Republicans attack Obama -- and now his family -- brutally for doing what they had no complaints about Bush doing a lot worse earlier.
Even the Village doesn't look terribly interested in following this one.
