Aye, and I am not the President of The United States. Care to point out any other insignificant facts there?

The point of the matter is; if you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen. Cooks get 20 minute breaks, here's the equivalent of a 4 hour break. You don't put a lid on your stew that is boiling for that long.

Perhaps you'd care to point out how Bush is out of contact with anyone?

No, I wouldn't, because that is not my argument.

Hey Imran -- the fifth expression of laughter at one of my jokes was from Japher in another thread.

This is the sixth one.

Hey, if Mr. Bush wants to take a break from whatever he's doing to this country, fine by me.

In all seriousness, it's alright for the President to go on vacation. I don't think it's entirely a 'vacation', per se, as he's still got meetings and updates from his advisors, but this is not really different from what Presidents (the non-policy-wonk ones, anyway) do in Washington, anyway: jogging every morning, campaign stops and photo ops that really do little more than give the Prez some press, et cetera.

But at the same time, a leader shouldn't just disappear for a month once or twice a year. There ARE important things happening to us and to other countries and peoples around the world and we deserve to see some leadership in those areas 365 days a year. But, once again, no different than what usually happens in Washington, considering how often our President appears before the press and the people without a script.
