Democrats Defensive, Furious Over Obama Vacation Debacle

Democrats close to the Obama White House are frustrated and furious over the public relations fallout over President Barack Obama's now-infamous two-week luxury vacation to Martha's Vineyard amid myriad crises, including looting and rioting in Ferguson, Missouri, as well as the beheading of an American journalist by ISIS terrorists.

Some Obama backers are defensive.

"It's bullshit," one former senior Obama official told The Hill. "This is a guy who reads 10 letters a day simply to keep in touch with the American people. He spends all his time thinking about the economy and improving lives of the American people. He's constantly in touch."

Other Democrats expressed frustration over Obama's apparent aloofness.

"It just doesn't seem like he can move the ball forward, and sometimes it seems like he doesn't want to," said another Democrat close to the White House. "He just doesn't seem like he's delivering on much of the stuff he campaigned on, and that includes bringing both sides together."

Those 10 letters gay Barry reads every day are from his colleagues in the mooselimb brotherhood.
