John McCain doesn't work weekends

Since effectively capturing the Republican nomination when Mitt Romney dropped out of the race on February 7, John McCain has held just one public campaign event on a weekend.

Instead, after workweeks full of fundraisers, town hall meetings and interviews, McCain has been, in campaign parlance, “down” on nearly every Saturday or Sunday for 20 weeks, largely sequestered away from the news media.

He’s usually spending time with family, friends and campaign advisers at residences in Arlington, Va., Phoenix or vacation homes near Sedona, Arizona, and San Diego.

That isn't to say McCain is kicking back and relaxing every weekend.

He’s hosted reporters and donors on separate occasions at his Arizona cabin, done a guest turn on Saturday Night Live and visited troops in both Iraq and at Walter Reed hospital.

Yet aside from an April rally on the steps of the courthouse in Prescott, Arizona, McCain has done little to capture media attention on weekends for nearly five months.

McCain aides say that they made a conscious decision after it became clear that they had won the nomination to use weekends primarily to return their candidate to his preferred surroundings in Arizona and to have him rest, bone up on policy, and meet privately with aides, advisers, contributors and other prominent officials.

needs all that down time to bone up on policy.

Obama does it with a full schedule.

prez he'd make.

And to be fair, Obama does take time off, like last weekend, but I have no problem with either of them doing that. Every weekend though?

He's running to continue providing cover for the greatest transferral of wealth in human history: from us to the corporations. It won't require work on his part, so why should he tire himself out? Why shouldn't he enjoy a bit of the luxury of his ruling class? Would we expect any other behavior from a true worshiper of Mammon?
