I think The "Torture pResident's" first term was more vacation than work, and I don't expect we will see any such casualness from Obama..

1. Nope. He knows what's ahead of him and will be burning the midnight
oil trying to get stuff done.

2. Obama isn't a lazy-ass, good-for-nothing bum.

4. It'll be hard for anyone to vacation as much as the shrub
As Obama has young children, I suspect he'll vacation some but he won't touch Reagan much less his ideological bastard child.

5. He is a driven near workaholic.
His staff better be "up" for this. I don't think he will take much time off at all. If he does, it will be to spend time with his girls having a bit of fun.

6. Obama knows his job is just starting. In contrast, Bush thought
his job was completed once he'd stolen the presidency.

7. No but I think he appreciates the need for some balance
It is clear he cherishes his lovely wife and beautiful daughters and revels in time with them. So I suspect we will see the family retreat to Camp David together and take a real vacation at least once a year along with long weekends over federal holidays.
