Why did he extend Bush tax cuts to the rich when he had super majority control?
Answer: He did not have a super majority. He ws held hostage because the republicans in the senate would filibuster, and there were not 60 democrats to break the filibuster. He he did not give in, there would not have been an extension of unemployment insurance, which was critical. Also, he wanted to exclude the wealthiest, but replublicans would not allow it, again FILLIBUSTER!

As far as the surge is concerned, he did the surge for the same reason that it was done in Iraq. As far as Libya, we can all see from recent events that his strategy was very successful. Now compare this two bush with Iraq and afghanistan and there is no contest. a- We had a REAL coalition, with REAL shared sacrifice. b- The cost to the US was 1 billion, compared to 2 trillion in Iraq. c- No casualties for the US, vs. more than 3000 dead, and many more thousands wounded in Iraq. Ditto for afghanistan.

Why is he in Martha's Vineyard?
He is on vacation with his family. George bush YTD, had 300% more vacation days than Obama. What exactly would occur in washington, that he can not handle in MV.

The fact is it doesnt matter whether he is in Marthas Vinyard or washington DC, it does not impact how a president works. But of course you already knew this.
Why?
