Particularly if people were living or dying over our decisions?

Only if vacation meant being totally out of touch with the country at the time. A president is still presiding, no matter where he is. He has the same instant communication he would have in the White House, full access to all his advisers, etc. Just because he's in Crawford doesn't mean he's "on vacation".
I don't even like the man, but this isn't one of the reasons.

It does seem a little off kilter that the USA is in a bit of turmoil and the country is so very divided on many, many issues, yet Congress is still going to take a few weeks off.
As long as they get a break, right?

Well it's not exactly like he's leaving all his work behind at the office. Every day he receives briefings, has meetings and makes decisions. It's just on a reduced schedule.
If you ask me, I'd be happy turning the job over to Cheney for a few weeks while Bush took his time off.

As long as you're vacationing in my back yard on call.

Well I don't know. We would have been better off if the entire Bush administration had taken the last seven years off.

Yes if you had worked 100 hour weeks.. you would have earned it.
