In an interview with conservative radio host Bill Cunningham Wednesday, Mitt Romney went after President Obama for playing golf and taking vacations.

“I must say I scratch my head at the capacity of the president to take four hours off on such a regular basis to go golfing,” Romney said, “I would think you could kind of suck it up for four years, particularly when the American people are out of work.”

On the issue of vacations, Romney thought Camp David was a suitable vacation. Romney’s comments echo grumblings over Obama’s visits to Hawaii, where he grew up, and a trip the First Lady and their daughter Sasha took to Spain.

“I know prior Presidents have gone to Camp David and have been able to get a little rest and get away from the demands of Washington, bring some of their key advisers there and focus on solving tough issues,” he said.  “I would think you could kind of suck it up for four years, particularly when the American people are out of work.”
