Poor Obamas: inconvenient bomb, death and politics interfere with vacations

  This is difficult to read because it is so sycophantic, so obsequious, so obviously partisan that it fairly drips with honey. Apparently that dang attempting bombing at Christmas repeatedly interrupted the poor Obamas' vacation. 
  Also rude were the death of Kennedy and the unhappiness of citizens over the health care debacle; considering that a president of the United States is just a figurehead, someone with no power whose main responsibility is just to fly around the country, look good and throw parties, these circumstances were just downright inconvenient and remarkably inconsiderate. 
  The AP calls it a "hex." Again, imagine the AP writing this about Bush or Reagan. About the vacation hex.
