Obama faces vacation dilemma

There appears to be renewed debate over when is there a good time for the president to take a vacation. The First Family plans to leave Thursday for a 10-day trip. Meantime, congress is on its August break and isn’t expected back on the Hill until early September.



           First Family Time

His critics say it’s a real bad time
For Obama’s planned vacation;
They seem to feel that it’s a crime
When he’s distracted from the nation.

One never knows what might go wrong
And cause a real commotion
While the president’s engaged in song
Or swimming in the ocean.

The White House, though’s in able hands
With aides alert for trouble;
And if they need the president,
He’ll get back there on the double.
