On the Road part II

As noted in the New York Times 44 has pledged to get out of Washington frequently. The article details his latest swing, the most recent stop in Arizona to announce a mortgage rescue plan. Whether or not his absences from Washington will draw any fire depends in part on the watchful eyes of his opposition and in part on the never sleeping news media. 43 was criticized for his absences, in particular when he went to his ranch in Crawford, Texas. The presumption was that he was "on vacation" and behaving much as the rest of us do on vacation by doing nothing that resembled the work for which we are paid to do.

This blog will informally track the whereabouts of 44 over the course of his term and produce an apples-to apples comparison with 43 at a later date.
