Earlier this week the HomaFiles said:
My family often recounts the stories of our family vacations being interrupted or cut short when a business crisis cropped up.
That was a price to be paid as a biz exec.
So, I shake my head in wonderment.
Might have expected that the President would call the Congress back from their August vacation for an emergency session to attack the debt-downgrade crisis.
Not so.
And, there doesn’t seem to be any public outrage.
Why?
I may scream later this month when Obama heads off for his annual Hyannis Port vacation.
Here’s the final straw:
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama will vacation with his family in Martha’s Vineyard at the end of this month as he’s done in years past, the White House said Wednesday, despite the weak economy and negotiations on the nation’s debt problem.
Press secretary Jay Carney defended Obama’s plans to take a break even as he’s pledged urgent action on those issues.
“I don’t think Americans out there would begrudge that notion that the president would spend some time with his family,” Carney said.
For the record, I begrudge our Slacker-in-Chief taking time off during this financial crisis.
I repeat: when I was in business, I had many vacations (and holidays) interrupted, shortened or cancelled when crises (or time-sensitive opportunities) cropped up.
It was simply part of the job description and responsibilities.
And, suffice to say, none of the crises that cost me vacation days were were anything close to the magnitude of what Obama has created and is facing now.
So, as I promised, I’m SCREAMING !!!
And, I may scream again when I see …
This would be no way to run a business … and, certainly, no way to run a country.
But, he wouldn’t know that I guess … since he’s never run anything.
Thanks to SMH for feeding the lead & the pic
