It's a well known and ongoing issue for world leaders who go on vacation, or do not return to the centres of power, during crises.
It's not a case of "I can do anything from my ranch", but more of a "I take things seriously, and as leader of the nation, my place is in the capital being
seen to lead".
History, even recent history, is replete with examples of leaders being criticized (rightly in my opinion) for not being where their public wants and expects them to be during crises.
Erm... I don't really understand this comment. Whilst I am a fan of much of American culture, I'm not familiar with all your idioms.
Are you insulting me again?
