President Takes A Break From Central Texas Heat (Tamarack ski resort)

President Takes A Break From Central Texas Heat

President and Mrs. Bush flew to Idaho Monday after the President addressed the annual convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Mr. Bush will spend a couple of days at the Tamarack ski resort in Donnelly, Idaho and he evidently plans on doing some mountain biking while he’s there.

Aides removed mountain bikes from Air Force One after the President’s plane landed Monday afternoon in Boise.

....

Mr. Bush is scheduled to speak to National Guard troops and families in Idaho Wednesday before returning to Central Texas Wednesday evening.

12. it's a double super vacation
it's always good to show the soldiers what they are fighting for isn't it.... He is just doing it to support the troops.... i think they put a yellow magnetic ribbon on the fuselage of AF1 to really show how much they support the troops.

16. That was my first thought, too.
I'm sure our "supported" troops would love to escape the heat and go mountain biking during a five-week vacation from their job. Difference being that the troops really do work hard and none of them are on any kind of vacation.

What's with this mountain bike image lately? Rove is desperate, and the drowning men in the bush administration are grasping at straws. Real men ride ATV's :7

18. kind of ooching around
They hide in caves. They live in -- they kind of ooch around -- the dark corners of the world, and send youngsters to their suicidal deaths. They're fanatics. They're motivated out of hate. They only way to treat them is like they are, cold-blooded killers, and run them down. (Oct. 31, 2002)

15. When you don't REALLY run the country.......
You can take month long vacations, go on bike rides, exercise constantly, and go to fundraisers to promote policies that you have nothing to do with creating.

He cannot possibly do the job of a President with the kind of work? schedule that he has. Do the press, etc. not see that?

21. Presser
He just had a little 'press conference'; yukked it up, did his little nodding of the head and stupid little grin routine- yuk, yuk. He's probably going bike riding and spent some quality time with the little woman. How nice.

Why in God's name are there only one or 2 commentators who will truly tell it like it is? The rest are willing to be his stooges.

24. He's tired from all the hard work he has done.
Even on vacation, he has been working hard: attending fund raisers, posing for photo ops, clearing shrubs, polishing silverware, biking, AVOIDING Cindy.

25. 2 hours a day
The digusting thing is that he is out bike riding 2 hours a day EVERY day whether in DC supposedly working, that hell hole Crawford or in foreign countries supposedly at meetings with diplomats.

I think this is all for mental reasons, not so much physical. He has no power of concentration and has to be go, go, go at all times. Same reason anything written for him has to be brief like a 1/2 page. Used to play video games for hours a day when he was TX Gov.

30. He's also preaching to his choir....
http://www.sltrib.com/utah/ci_2964899#top

"With red-state visits, Bush looks to shore up vital core support"
==========
...but no mention of the thousand or so protestors on his "shoring up" campaign ?
