Benefits of vacation

With Sen. Obama on vacation (to a state home to his ill grandmother), it's impossible for Sen. McCain's campaign to turn anything he says into outrage. This has the great benefit of focusing everything directly on the worst campaign in modern history. This was probably discussed as one of the many benefits of a vacation.

Why does Sen. Obama need a vacation?

The [S]enator suggested this week that most of his focus would be on his wife, children and grandmother, who he has not seen in 19 months.

“Those little girls need love, as does Michelle I think,” Obama told reporters. “So we are going to take the time.”

Kawaii!
