No president just puts the job on hold because he isn't physically inside the White House.
And personally, to paraphrase Carlos Mencia, I want the man with his finger on the red button to be as fucking relaxed as possible. Now watch this drive...

The complaints about the Obama's vacations aren't that he isn't working, it is the cost involved. More specifically it is the millions of dollars of taxpayer money being spent on those vacations while at the same time the Executive branch is seemingly trying to maximize the public impact of the sequester cuts to justify Obama's chicken little routine. Personally I don't care, but I understand the complaint.
