I can anticipate the argument, "the POTUS is working, even when he is in Crawford...." The news reports of the way he spent his days, "working" in the fall of 2002, 2004, 2006, clearly show that he was actively campaigning for himself or for allied candidates during those months. I'll concede that those travel and speech making days were "work" days, if you'll concede that, during "a time of war", even half of 418 days spent in Crawford, especially in view of the results of this president's tenure, would be considered excessive....derelict.

Is there a straw you will not grasp?
Christ you would think this was 1940 and if the president wasn't at the Whitehouse there was no reliable way to contact him or for him to contact others.
Not to bring up a BJ by a fat chick, but because that was in the Whitehouse was it 'work'? Well for Clinton? For her its in the definition. Now why do I bring that up? Because quite frankly host you don't have a clue what is done where, by who when. Maybe hes out pulling his pud on the ranch, maybe hes in constant meetings, but you don't know, you just want something else to bitch about incessantly.
And yes presidents campaign, its part of the job, its part of the system, its sadly unavoidable. As far as I know the only president in recent history that tried to get involved in every detail was Carter. You might recall how well that worked out
