Note to Mrs. Obama: Skip the Hawaiian Vacay

Dear Michelle,

I understand you and the fam are going to Hawaii for the X-mas holidays. Soak up some sun. Make some decisions about the run for 1600. Hey, I understand. But you might want to consider cutting it short.
Show up in somebody's soup kitchen somewhere on Christmas Day. The sniffers have already been sniffing around your books and now they're trying to get some traction on that er um pre-holiday layoffs decision made by you and the rest of the Bay Valley Foods board. Firing Hispanic union workers who will now NOT have a Feliz Navidad - and then heading to the beach? Not a good look.

Have fun,

M.
