Back here at home with nothing to do

August 24, 2009 2:00 pm ET by Jamison Foser

MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell:

Meanwhile, the president is on vacation.  He is on a 25 acre estate in Martha's Vineyard.  We understand a $35,000 rental for the week.  His personal expense, his family's expense.  Communications for the President, as always, and security, provided by the taxpayer.  No one begrudges him the vacation. 

Really?  Then why do you keep talking about the expense?
