August 4, 2008

George H. W. Bush
Kennebunkport, Maine, 1992
Problem: Cigarette boats and golf carts are not ideal accessories in a recession.

Bill Clinton
Jackson Hole, Wyo., 1995-96
Problem: Ridiculed for choosing vacation based on polls - and he might have preferred the Vineyard.

John F. Kerry
Nantucket, 2004
Problem: Windsurfing not only seen as elitist, but perfect visual metaphor for GOP ads casting him as flip-flopper.

George W. Bush
Crawford, Texas, 2005
Problem: Criticized for length of stay at his ranch and dogged by Cindy Sheehan and other war protesters.
