Not giving you 1 day off w/ 2 wks notice sounds like he's pulling rank. especially if you did not know in advance he'd be off Wed and Thurs.
However, I'd be inclined to believe something came up unexpectedly, otherwise, why didn't he take off Friday and Monday.??
You need to find out what is you co's policy, or his policy if the co has none.

Well for most companies there is a 2 week notice needed, such as the company i work for, any days off need to be requested 2 weeks in advance, but sometimes with certain companies, such as family owned or non-corporate companies feel they can demand a earlier notice. I myself always try and make sure i give more then 2 weeks notice just to cover myself. I'm going home for a week and a half this july, and i put in for the time off back in april.
so for future ref. if this boss is going to be a dick about a 2 week notice, try and give a 3 week, if he's still a dick, give a 2 week notice for you quitting.

Given that he's on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year even while on Vacation. Also most Working Americans get at least 2 days off a week, he doesn't. Edit: Also half the stuff on your list is "The First Lady and her daughters" nothing is said about Obama going.

You should ask for a written notice of how much time in advance you need to ask for? I get 1 vac a year at my job but that's a scheduled thing. But if I need an additional day off I just ask for it 2 weeks before your boss is really being unreasonable!

Two weeks sounds more then reasonable to me but it would ultimately depend on your individual situation. If he could cover your work for that day it seems there is no reason to say no.

Whatever the company policy is. If there isn't a written one, ask your HR person what it is. If there is no HR person, ask your boss what their preference is?
