George Bush has taken 350 days of vacation in 5 years!

[Tim4319]

He has taken, what is equivalent to 1 year of vacation in 5 years. He has actually served as president only 4 years. And he can't meet with Cindy Sheehan? This is B.S!

<<snip>>

Who takes a two hour exercise break in the middle of the work day? Who takes five week vacations? Who takes over 350 vacation days in less than five years? Who refuses to work at night and on the weekends? Third graders … and apparently, our president.

1. Indefensible, and yet they defend it.

2. The man has not worked in the last 5 years. How can he take a...

vacation if he is always on vacation? You could say that he has taken vacation of his senses.

3. Holy hell!

That is a new record!

4. Starting now to da y# 365 we need to get the word out to the

country that he has taken over a year off. If that doesn't piss off the average working man, than what will? Also, it will give Rush and Hannity a headache trying to spin it that he deserves a year off or whatever, Clinton making him stay home sick, etc. you know the drill.

5. I am so surprised that this is not making much news!

But, than again, I'm not! Nothing surprises me anymore.

6. It truly is unreal, Now on CNN....Madonna has a headache...

[wake.up.america]

9. Aw, she always says that.

[Behind the Aegis]

7. Sickening!

Most Americans can't even take a vacation, they'd lose income. Most take a week, some are very lucky and get two weeks a year. So what does that look like....

Butt-ass poor
no vacation
5 years of work
0 months of vacation

Semi poor
1 week
5 years of work
1 month of vacation

Middle class
2 weeks
5 years of work
2.5 months of vacation

Spoiled
3 weeks
5 years of work
3.75 months of vacation

Lazy Prez
????
5 years of "work"
1 FULL YEAR OFF

Sick!

8. No wonder we are in the kind of trouble we're in.

Not only is * on a perpetual vacation, but very few care or take notice! Tell that to the people who died on 911 and their families and all who have died in Iraq! :grr:

Unbelievable! :puke:

[wake.up.america]

10. He seems to make enough of a mess without working. What would happened...

if he really worked at it?

15. That's the beauty of it-he couldn't have done better if he tried.

[Tim4319]

18. Exactly

[cornermouse]

11. Want to know how the wealthy elite of this country live?

See Dubya. The only thing the aristocracy of America do not have is the title. Has anyone ever done one of those magazine tours of the ranch house prior to or early in his political career?

[seemslikeadream]

12. A couple of people here were defending this

saying "every President does it" (takes vacation time during a time of war) yea right 350 days!


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Tim4319]

13. I've read somewhere that Bill Clinton took 152 vacation days in 8 yrs.

And Jimmy Carter took 79 days in 1 term.

Year, I agree all presidents take vacation.

[LisaL]

14. Well, in his defense, it's not like he is doing anything useful

when he is not on vacation.
:sarcasm:

[qanda]

16. Reminds me of the John Ashcroft joke

Bush works 24/7-- 24 hours a weeks, 7 months a year.
