It doesn't matter where the president is for Congress to do it's job.

Congress wouldn't do anything if they were there. The both pass bill that they know the other won't look at. The President has told them what is needed but they can't find a happy medium because the House Republicans want nothing but what they want. The President and the Senate has sent bills to the House, but they won't pass them because their only concern is to make Obama a one term president, no matter what it does to America and the economy.

The President is not a member of Congress.
"Last week, without much fanfare, Members of the House of Representatives banged a gavel, turned out the lights, and rushed home, declaring their work finished for now. If that frustrates you, it should - because their work isn't finished," the president said. "Apparently, some Members of Congress are more worried about their jobs and their paychecks this campaign season than they are about yours."
For nearly three minutes, the president reprimanded members of the House - Republicans, specifically - for leaving a mountain of unfinished business on their desks when they adjourned Friday after only eight days in session. He cited bills which, if passed, would provide emergency response aid to farmers, help veterans find jobs after returning from service, and allow homeowners to refinance "at historically low rates."

Campaigning in California again. Costing this state millions for security, etc. Finding another company to fund like bankrupt Solyndra.

ignoring every problem as he always does - and then blames someone else.
he may be doing a fund raiser, recall he left on 09/12 after the terrorist attack that killed a us ambassador to go to vegas. did not even bother to have a national security brief. but then he has missed so many what is one more.
