Thread: WH defends Obama's Key Largo vacation

H2 Note: If you read the body language of Barack Obama and Joe Biden, and read between the fine lines of what they are BOTH doing right now (hint: VACATIONING) during the Ukraine crisis, which is ONGOING, crucial, and vital to US interests for at least the next fifty years. Any strategist capable of turning on a television or reading email comes up with one big answer: OBAMA IS HIDING, SCARED $HITLESS AND PI$$$ING IN HIS PANTS and won't lift a finger to say or do anything that matters even one ounce. Essentially, Obama's COMPLETE VOID of any leadership whatsoever sends the GIANT SIGNAL to Vladamir Putin: DO WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT, JUST DON'T SCREW WITH MY VACATION! We are screwed beyond description ..

The White House spokesman also said it was not unusual for the president, vice president, secretary of State and national security adviser to all be out of the nation's capital. John Kerry and Susan Rice are traveling on business, while Vice President Biden is visiting the Virgin Islands for his second vacation there in three months.

WH defends Obama's Key Largo vacation

White House spokesman Josh Earnest defended President Obama's weekend vacation in Key Largo, despite the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, arguing Obama would be able to monitor events from Florida.

“What the president will be doing this weekend in Florida is essentially what the president would be doing back at the White House. It's just that the weather will be a little warmer,” Earnest told reporters aboard Air Force One.

“The president is looking forward to spending some time with his wife and daughters, who are traveling down to Florida as well,” he continued. “There are some recreational amenities on the property, including workout facilities, tennis courts, a couple of golf courses.

“If there is an opportunity for the president to enjoy some of those amenities, then he'll do that. What he will do, and what he is looking forward to doing, is getting a little downtime in the warm weather with his wife and daughters.”

Earlier this week, there was speculation the president could scrap the trip — his third vacation of the year — because of the crisis. But Earnest downplayed the suggestion, saying deputy national security adviser Tony Blinken is traveling to Florida with Obama, along with the “regular assortment of communication tools” allowing the president to attend secure briefings.

“We have complete confidence the president can handle all the responsibilities he has," Earnest said.

The White House spokesman also said it was not unusual for the president, vice president, secretary of State and national security adviser to all be out of the nation's capital. John Kerry and Susan Rice are traveling on business, while Vice President Biden is visiting the Virgin Islands for his second vacation there in three months.

“Most of the people you described have as their job description traveling overseas to represent the interests of the United States. I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a fairly regular occurrence," Earnest said.
