Our nomad president

Both reader Becky and I have noticed how much time The One spends outside of that palatial home in DC taxpayer's spend millions maintaining.

Now some people in the media are starting to notice.....

It sounds tailor-made for a GOP ad:

Unemployment hits 9.4 percent. President Obama flies to France.

Joblessness reaches 9.7 percent. Obama jets off to Denmark.

The rate of those out of work soars to 10.2 percent. Obama packs his bags for Japan, Singapore, China and South Korea.

Faced with the worst domestic economy in decades, the president has responded -- by setting a record for foreign travel. An Asian swing that began Thursday will bring his total this year to 20 countries in eight trips, according to CBS News's Mark Knoller, official statistician of the White House press corps.

That easily bests the previous record-holder, George H.W. Bush, who hit 14 countries in his first year. By the time he returns next week, Obama will have spent more than 12 percent of his presidency overseas -- and he still has another trip or two in the works for this year.

Don't forget, the man's got a junket to Norway to pick up that Nobel.

Here's an idea for the Big O, how about spending some time here fixing our economy.

On second thought, stay as long as you'd like.
