Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nelson Atwell" data-source="post: 541163" data-attributes="member: 59102">The effectiveness of a leader is not measured by the amount of vacation time he takes.  In addition, many of the vacations the President takes are "working vacations".  I really doubt that when the President is on his ranch, he just plays golf all day.  When he is on vacation, he doesn't just say to the Vice-President, "Dick, you've got the con.", and then turn off his phone and disappear for a week.  No, it isn't that way at all, because as long as the President is healthy, he is Commander-In-Chief, and is in charge of any decisions that must be made.  Anyone in the military can relate to this.  Even at the lowest levels, vacation is canceled when the stuff hits the fan.</blockquote>
