For one, I can't think of anyone who deserves it more. Two, Obama's grandmother, who can't travel, lives there, and three, that's where Obama was born and lived.This is how the McCain camp spins it:
So it's not a working vacation -- something his Republican rival John McCain sees as an opening.
A spokesman for the Arizona senator, who has been pushing Congress to cut short its summer break and return to Washington to work on energy issues, needled Obama for heading to Hawaii's sun.
"Instead of calling on his friends and allies in Congress to return to put a much-needed energy policy in place to fight sky-high gas prices, Barack Obama is joining them with a beach vacation of his own," said Tucker Bounds.
If McCain was smart, he'd try to do something positive as opposed to acting the fool.
