World can wait as Obamas relax in Florida Keys
Despite the gathering storm in Eastern Europe, President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama have decided not to cancel their scheduled vacation in the Florida Keys, Keith Koffler at White House Dossier reports. According to the White House schedule, the Obamas will travel to Miami Friday for an official event, which will be done by mid afternoon, and then proceed to Key Largo for the weekend. There, they are set to relax at the ritzy Ocean Reef Club, which has two championship golf courses.
The Obamas have already vacationed this year in Hawaii, where they rang in the New Year. On Presidents Day Weekend, he traveled to California for a golf extravaganza while she skied Aspen.
This sends exactly the wrong signal to everyone involved in the current crisis and to the jackals around the world watching to gauge American resolve and seriousness. I think the criticism of this will extend well beyond White House Dossier and the handful of others who routinely track Obama’s frivolousness.
But, what the heck – it’s golf, and I’m sure Michelle really wants to go.
