Time Off, Time Out

The president's vacationing, alas.
We're fated, all, to fall upon the cliff
That's imminent, indeed; the bloody tiff
Acquired an importance that a pass
To weary, worn vacationers without
A resolution coming couldn't blot
From any heavy judgment. "It is not
A president's prerogative to doubt
Necessity of presence." Though I don't
Adore the man, the panic is a sham.
The theory that he doesn't give a damn
Is set aside the rage that Boehner won't
Give up Pelosi's compromise. A truce
Is only for opponents; us, a noose.
