A presidents travel agenda doesn't affect their ability do to their job. Bad presidents can make bad decisions from anywhere. Good presidents can make good decisions from anywhere. I have NO PROBLEM AT ALL criticizing the decisions a president makes, but people would simply complain that the * was traveling and suggesting that somehow impacted his ability to do his job. Now, I'm seeing plenty of people essentially saying that traveling has no impact on a presidents ability to do their job. That's the hypocrisy. You can try to paint this all you want as suggesting that I don't think "* deserved criticism" but that doesn't make it so.

Some people say that * didn't get criticism for his traveling so there's no hypocrisy, others say that Obama's traveling is different from *'s traveling so there's no hypocrisy, and still others leave it at "there's no comparison between the two", so there's no hypocrisy here.
