Vacation All I ever Wanted

On one hand I'm glad Obama is getting to poke his head into meetings already. And I like how crisp he has been since Nov 4 - I think "crisp" is prolly his default anyway. He's been on top of things.

But one thing I remember from Joe Klein's The Natural is that Clinton's biggest regret was not taking a vacation between election day and actually taking office. Quickly wore himself and his staff down to their nubs.

I know these are difficult times, and I know there's shit to do, and if Obama feels like he needs to already be on the job as much as he can be, okay. But I also wonder if he should be on a beach in Hawaii with no cell phone, sipping drinks out of glasses shaped like alligators.
