Sorry I have to disagree. If you are the CinC you don't get time off. If something goes down while you are on your vacation, then you have to be on top of it. It's like managing your household. The pipe under the sink busts, you can't tell it that you can't do anything because you are on vacation, it has to be tended to. Just like a sick child. You can't tell them you are on vacation, they have to be taken care of.
Did you know it's the year 2016? I'm guessing you don't know or understand the technology of today. If you did, you would know that the president is able to be on the job 24/7. I'm sorry you don't understand that, that's kind of sad that you don't actually.
There’s no such thing as a true non-working vacation for the president (Presidential Vacations)
So yes, they really don't get time off. I'm not a fan of Obama, but he does need an outlet to relax. If that is playing a game of golf so be it. If it's clearing brush on your land the by all means do it. Sometimes I do my best thinking cleaning or working in the yard....whatever I'm in the mood to do at that time.

I'm fully aware of today's technology...my husband who is in the military works with it daily. I'm fully aware. Thanks.
The SEAL Team had the Presidential OK to look for the Hostages, but the Golfer In Chief still had to give the OK for them to move in. He was too busy,busy,busy that day.
So far Obama has taken less than 200 vacation days. While GW Bush took 879 vacation days. Even if Obama spent every day remaining in his term on vacation he still would have taken WAY less vacation days than GW Bush.
Question, could 6th grade students make more accurate, factual, and politically relevant posts than the republicans in this forum? (there's a good chance.)
The Breibart source of the Washington Post (the link is included in the Breibart article) is in direct opposition to Breibart's claim that Obama was on vacation and didn't/coulnd't "authorize" the mission....
You should not take Breibart as a "factual" source. They frequently mis-respresent their sources/stories. The WP said the mission was authorized. Not sure why they even used the WP as a "source."

Yep. Breitbart is a crap site just like the Daily Kos. Not quite bottom of the barrell but darn close.
