Don't be stupid. We all watch the news, read the paper, and listen to the radio. If The Pres had been on vacation for 61/2 month out of 13 I think I would have noticed. Even if he was (which he was not) if you are the Pres no matter what your party affiliation you are on the job 24x7 for 4 years even if you aren't at the Whitehouse.
