And he's apparently going to take this week off... so what Presidential duties is he fulfilling?
President Obama appears to be mostly taking the week off, making a rare sojourn at Camp David through Tuesday before celebrating the Fourth of July and then heading out on the campaign trail.
Obama presumably also has his usual August vacation lined up as well, though it’s not been announced where he will be headed. It is known, though, that with an election coming up, Obama will not be restoring himself at his customary location, the super-rich enclave of Martha’s Vineyard.
The president has grumbled that Mitt Romney can campaign full time while he continues to have to perform his day job, but it’s questionable how many hours he’s putting in at the office. Obama found timefor 33 fundraisers in June and campaigned widely, sometimes returning to the White House after Midnight and then sleeping in the next day.
Obama will return to the the White House from Camp David Tuesday and then preside over the White House Fourth of July festivities Wednesday. He will be campaigning in the critical battleground states of Ohio and Pennsylvania Thursday and Friday.
Remember when he used to tell us how he wouldn't rest?
I'm thinking that's yet another addition to the broken promise list.












I much prefer him to be anywhere else than the White House.
