Political Holidays
As it truly feels like our summer is coming to an end; with friends heading back to Universities, summer jobs ending, and workloads getting heavier, a quick head turns to the holidays of political figures. Politico criticises Obama’s choice of holiday resort in Martha’s Vinyard; at a reported $50,000 a week. In British politics last year I remember the papers condemning British politicans who took holidays abroad, or took holidays deemed too extravagent. Now Obama is being dealt the same treatment.
Yes the resort is out of the average American’s price range, but so what, he is the President; he deserves a holiday. These people run countries, and a few weeks can be spent anywhere they damn-well please for all I care, everyone else goes to the best they are willing to spend, and there’s no reason they shouldn’t too.
