As I understand it Burpie... there is a journalist who keeps meticulous records (hour-by-hour I heard :-) of the time Presidents spend out of Washington on vacation, and he has kept these records for many years now.

At this *exact point* on the calendar, Bush II had spent more then twice as much time 'on vacation' as Obama has.... :-)

(Although, in this modern age of telecommunications and the 'Imperial Presidency' I doubt that ANY modern President is ever very far away - in time or space - from his never-ending work load.)

I wonder if Ms. Clark would sing these revised lyrics to "Downtown"?

Downtown (revised lyrics...special Obama regime edition)

When you are long
And calls are making you poorer
You should rush to go...downtown
When you have a yen to buy
Just step to the darker side
and buy some puts...downtown

Just listen to the mouthpiece of the GE man
He's grieving
Don't listen when he screams to buy
each worthless stock he's pushing
He's paid to hack

The lights are much brighter here
Yes where your putzies are growing
and making you laugh and cheer
Downtown, buy all the puts you can
Downtown, unload your losing calls
Downtown, the free world is crashing for you
you...you...you
