It just wouldn't be August without some sort of faux presidential vacation controversy, would it?
President Barack Obama on Tuesday is – finally, to hear conservatives tell it – visiting Louisiana, where recent flooding claimed the lives of at least 13 people and destroyed some 60,000 homes. Obama's critics spent much of the last week making hay over his refusal to immediately abandon a family vacation on Martha's Vineyard and set out for the Pelican State, particularly after Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump made his own trip there on Friday.
