Let’s not fret over a trip to Martha’s Vineyard
Along the same line as my post from yesterday regarding conservatives complaining about the President’s trip to Martha’s Vineyard, is this post from Ann Althouse:
[W]hen you look at August 2011 from Spring/Summer/Fall 2012, one more vacation isn’t going to seem like much of anything. The economy will matter, but not what it was in August 2011, what it isnow. Whatever it is, people will hold Obama responsible, so right now, he’s hoping things will be better enough that he’ll have something to claim credit for.
Could he do something right now, in August 2011, that will make the economy better at that future point, something that will be more effective than biking and golfing on Martha’s Vinyard? I don’t think he can, and if he doesn’t think he can, in my book, that’s a point in his favor. Spare me your programs and clever ideas. I like getting some evidence that he knows the limits of government.
Obama’s presidency is about getting reelected, and doing nothing right now fits that agenda just fine.
Exactly. Here’s hoping that Republicans take note.
