Will the Middle East ruin Barack Obama’s summer vacation?

But it crossed a line to have the cameras rolling upon arrival at the Vineyard, when you are hitting the golf course first thing on your vacation, which will last for two weeks – he'll be back at his desk on August 19. Even the usual Obamaphilic CNN generously called the move "bad optics." John Hames shared with you:   Will the Middle East ruin Barack Obama's summer vacation? Haaretz Israel News - Whoever is in charge of managing the media for President Obama really blew it this weekend. It already demonstrates a measure of chutzpah when the war-averse President of the United States gets in front of the cameras to discuss his decision to launch U.S. air strikes in Iraq, declaring the U.S. would "maintain vigilance" against the bloodthirsty forces that are brutalizing everything in their path …. just before he gets on Air Force One and takes off for the vacation paradise of Martha's Vineyard.
