So, for the last few days we seemed to have been missing a Governor. The South Carolina one, to be specific. Apparently he jetted off without telling anyone where! Not the Lieutenant Governor or even his wife. This situation set off a storm and frenzy in the news media of wondering where Gov. Mark Sanford was. His staff and family assumed he wasn't missing but knew instead that he just left. Like a bad break-up.
Well, it's one thing to want to get away and relax from work for a while. Trust me, I'm sure every working person knows that feeling. But as Governor, I think there's more responsibilities to leaving for vacation such as leaving a contact number or mention the area (don't have to be specific) that you will be going to and to actually tell people that you will be gone for a few days. Any normal person would do that. And you're the Governor for goodness sakes. As an elected official Sanford should've been more responsible because he is a leader of a state. His well being doesn't just belong to him anymore, but also to his constituents. After all this news hoopla, Governor Sanford called in to say he was hiking in the Appalachians(or up to no good). Next time he decides to go take a hike and find himself, he should tell his second in command, Lt. Gov. Andrew Bauer, and not let him find out from CNN.
