Obama is going on yet another vacation:

After a mid-August trip to America's national parks and a weeklong vacation on Martha's Vineyard, President Obama plans ...

... to take a little more time away from the office next week.

Obama will head to Camp David on Wednesday, Sept. 2, and stay through the weekend, White House spokesman Bill Burton told reporters in a Thursday briefing.

Joking that it may have been "wishful thinking" to suggest Obama's current trip out of Washington would coincide with a news-free week, Burton quipped that the president needs a "break from his vacation."

For the second time in just a few days, however, the deputy press secretary emphasized that Obama hasn't disengaged from his responsibilities.

"When you're president, you've always got that job," Burton said.

On Monday, Burton pointed to former President George W. Bush's vacation habits to defend scattered criticism of Obama's August schedule.

"As I recall, the previous president [took] quite a bit of vacation himself, and I don't think anyone bemoaned that," Burton said.

Actually, many "bemoaned" the Bush vacations, liar. Obama has to be the laziest president I think I've ever seen.

Unfrickingbelievable.  This man is always on vacation.  I say we start deducting some salary for every vacation it takes.

This man is seriously not going to know how to actually work for a living once his four year vacation is over. Guess he'll have to write another book. Oh wait, he didn't actually write the other ones. Maybe he can just get paid for being a "light bringer" - wasn't that what some of the latte-libs called him during the election. He can just show up each day, walk on water and bring light. Wonder what the hourly wage is for those skills. lol
