I hate to be proved right, but I was right!

The reason Obama is doing poorly in the polls all of a sudden is that for some reason he decided he could take NINE days holiday, leaving McCain to look all Presidential in dealing with a major international crisis, while Obama was bodyboarding.

Everybody here seemed to think that it was ok for him to take NINE days off in the middle of a presidential campaign, like it wouldn't make a difference. Can you imagine McCain taking NINE days off?

So, Cenk, when you're trying to figure out why McCain is taking the lead, it's not just about negative attack ads. It's about Obama's mistaken decision to go on holiday!
