Vacations

Here's a question: Are the same Right Wing echo chamber people who try to get on Obama for taking a vacation in Hawaii, where he grew up and has family, because it sends the wrong message, are these same people getting on Condi Rice for sending the wrong message by staying on her vacation as the Russia/Georgia conflict explodes?

US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has also been noticeably absent on the diplomatic scene, having failed to interrupt her holidays to fly to Tbilisi in support of the Georgian government.

So for all that BS about 3am phone calls, the answer is your President will go to the Olympics and play the pawn in China's propaganda-fest and your Secretary of State will stay on her vacation. Don't fool yourself.
