1. He's not vacationing, he's at the "western whitehouse"

:sarcasm: :mad:

[merh]

3. They can call it what they like - he is vacationing.

Wearing his blue jeans and wrinkled, rumpled shirts. Pretending to be a rancher. And biking around - doing nothing but hiding from the mother of a fallen soldier - the coward.

This is not presidential! This is vacationing.



And if they insist on it being referred to as the Western Whitehouse and since yours and mine tax dollars went to securing it and building more houses, buildings for the prezidips needs, then he better deed it to us now and leave it behind when he leaves office.

2. He has to "get on with his life"

This is so sad. Last night's tribute to a fallen soldier on CBS caused me to cry......

Why don't more people cry over this? I was a teenager in the late 60's as I watched neighborhood boys go off to Nam (including a boy friend). I cried then and I am crying now.

[merh]

4. It is sad.

:hug:
