Better next year? Says them.
Flawed candidates? Says you.
Only has to win Florida? That's assuming all things are the same as 2008. And all things are NOT the same.

You mean the wealthy that Obama hates? Or does he only hate wealthy conservatives?

If Obama won all the states he won in 2008, he could afford to lose FL, NC and VA and still win the election.

The optics of this will be awful...but I'm sure obama is already twisting arms in the press to keep the images out of the media. I mean, they'll do that for obama, won't they?

It’s no time for a presidential vacation - The Washington Post



As the author points out, it's not like Camp David or the WH is lacking.

How many vacations is that this year for obama? 5? 6?

Why not vacation on Lake Michigan and be among the folks in the impoverished state of Michigan?
