I thought that wherever the President was, there was his office?
I mean, that's what we were told when George W. Bush went to Crawford every other week.
In the middle of wars and such.
It's one thing to go to Crawford, and yet another to go to Brazil, the Bahamas, and Hawaii, or coaching his daughter's basketball team while his daughter was skiing in Colorado. Obama is a constant screw-off. He's too busy having fun and living the good life sometimes to do the job he was elected to do.
At Crawford Bush rarely took time off. He had everything set up to do his job from there that he did in Washington. Ronald Reagan did the same thing. He loved to ride his horse early in the morning to clear his head.
There are no videos of Bush getting snow-cones and body-surfing. Bush also stopped golfing shortly after the war started because he knew it would look bad and he also knew the press would use it against him. Bush was extremely active and he grew impatient being cooped up in the White House so Camp David or Crawford were simply a change of venue but the work continued.
Bush was always on the move. He cleared brush to clear his head often times.
When it comes to the war once Bush set the wheels in motion most of the decisions were delegated to the Generals.
He is not a tactical expert so he shouldn't be involved in day to day mission planning. But when requests were made to do a surge or provide funding he was never AOL or dragging his feet like Obama constantly does. Also, he showed leadership and took responsibility. To top it off, he never turned our troops over to foreign leadership like Obama.
Bush didn't wait for days or weeks to comment on terrorism or natural disasters like Obama does. If something happens while he's in Hawaii you don't hear shit from him. Only his spokespersons.
If Obama thinks it will help him he rushes to the mic. If he doesn't give a shit he disappears.
