McCain taking weekends off!!!!!!!!

[Cheney Killed Bambi]

Well, he is 73. Most people that old can't really work at the level of intensity needed for a Presidential campaign, much less the Presidency.

This is nothing new for McCain. After a rigorous primary election schedule, the Arizona senator was "down" on nearly every Saturday and Sunday between the time he clinched the nomination in February and June, Politico reported this summer. And since accepting his party’s nomination on Sept. 4, McCain has taken off at least one day each weekend. He held no public events last weekend, and will keep the same schedule this weekend.

Obama, on the other hand, has taken only two weekend days off in the last month.

3. I'm not sure that's so....

Dubya has taken a hell of a lot of time off. Personally, I think the nation is better off for the time he wasn't in the WH than for when he was there.

14. "Taking Off the Gloves, and Putting On The Pajamas."

That'll really show Obama, won't it?

I'm getting scared, just thinking about Gramps in old man maverick pajamas.
