Egypt in flames; Obama takes it easy

Jeannie DeAngelis  "President Obama is the type of leader who doesn't let anything get in the way of a well-deserved day off. Let's face it; Barack is first and foremost a government employee. The President's breaks are on schedule, work hours tightly defined, vacations well spaced, and if it's the weekend, listen closely as you may hear the titular leader of the free world whispering: "TGIF.""

If I were president and father of two growing children however, I still would endeavor to take part in their lives as much as possible. But Mr. Obama's entire social schedule seems to take precedence over many important presidential responsibilities. Who can forget that spur-of-the moment shopping trip to New York? Or that Obama-Clinton/ Clinton press conference?
