Obama’s week on the vineyard, spent golfing and enjoying a 30 million dollar mansion, has apprently been too stressful.  This was according to White House spokesman Bill Burton, who is perhaps most famous for his constant refusal to answer Megyn Kelly’s questions when interviewed on Fox News.

Burton said that the notion of the president enjoying a news-free vacation week was “wishful thinking,” and went on to joke that Obama needs a ”break from his vacation.”

As a result of all the stress, Obama will extend his vacation by a weekend, which he will spend at Camp David.

When asked about the matter, Burton said “As I recall, the previous president [took] quite a bit of vacation himself, and I don’t think anyone bemoaned that.”

Huh.  Really, Mr. Burton?  You don’t think anyone bemoaned that?  Your ceaseless denial of reality is always so impressive.
