The RW applies the left's Bush criticisms an projects them on Obama and has so for a long time. This creates the illusion of symmetry between political parties in some voter's minds. They don't care that Obama takes vacations but they know many voter's worried about W's frequent absences so they hammer on Obama every time he takes one. From the deficit to the NSA they've been applying this tactic since day 1 of Obama's presidency.
