Drudge Report +1

I'm on Drudge Report today and I first saw this article:

President Obama to stay in D.C. while Michelle Obama, daughters head to Hawaii

First lady Michelle Obama and first daughters Sasha and Malia are headed to Hono­lulu on Friday for a 17-day vacation — without the president.
At least for now.

Right below that article is a flash back article:

Executive Order 13589 -- Promoting Efficient Spending

Section 1. Policy. My Administration is committed to cutting waste in Federal Government spending and identifying opportunities to promote efficient and effective spending. The Federal Government performs critical functions that support the basic protections that Americans have counted on for decades. As they serve taxpayers, executive departments and agencies (agencies) also must act in a fiscally responsible manner, including by minimizing their costs, in order to perform these mission critical functions in the most efficient, cost effective way. As such, I have pursued an aggressive agenda for reducing administrative costs since taking office and, most recently, within my Fiscal Year 2012 Budget. Building on this effort, I direct agency heads to take even more aggressive steps to ensure the Government is a good steward of taxpayer money.

Hahahaha! Awesome, Drudge!

Obama and His Vacation

Mediaite

Press Secretary Josh Earnest held a briefing at Martha's Vineyard declaring the president didn't feel the recent earthquake, and that Obama will remain on vacation.

I'm not really sure a president ever gets a "vacation." I am no fan of Obama but, I'm sure that most reasonable people understand this basic fact. The problem arises when these same people that defend Obama turn out to be the same people who screamed bloody murder when Bush was on vacation.



I surprised Obama hasn't blamed Bush for the earthquake and for the situation in Libya.

2012 cannot come sooner.
