Some say Romney's poke at Obama's golf is old news

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) December 10, 2011 -- Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney is hammering President Barack Obama for playing golf and planning his usual family Christmas in Hawaii. Obama should spend more time fixing the economy, says Romney, who is using the issue to raise money.TaylorMade R11 TMX T2 Cart Bag
For some Democrats and Republicans, it's a tired tactic. Every president spends time away from Washington and engages in weekend recreation or relaxation, they note. Former aides to Obama's predecessor, Republican George W. Bush, say all presidents have a right to such pastimes.

"Presidencies wear people out," Bush spokesman Ari Fleischer said earlier this year. "And they just simply deserve a break, especially a president with a couple little kids."TaylorMade R11 TMX T2 Cart Bag
Another former Bush aide, Tony Fratto, defended Obama in 2009, the president's first year in office.
"There should be no criticism of presidents making occasional personal travel," Fratto said. Presidents are also "husbands and fathers, and the pace and pressure of the job are incredible."

Fleischer and Fratto are familiar with the subject. Bush spent 490 days as president at his ranch in Crawford, Texas, and 487 days at Camp David - one-third of his eight-year presidency, according to record-keeper Mark Knoller of CBS News. Like Obama and other presidents, Bush noted that he worked during much of the time he spent outside the White House.TaylorMade R11 TMX T2 Cart Bag
