Guess where Bush is going today

[Parche]

On an extended weekend to................Crawford Texas
According to Yahoo news GW Bush is leaving the
WhiteHouse today for an extended weekend at his infamous
ranch in Crawford Texas.

My one question is........................

DOES GW BUSH EVERY DO ANY WORK LIKE A PRESIDENT AND A LEADER
NORMALLY DOES

Almost every single day he is off to campaign for himself
or Off to Crawford Texas.

Didnt he just have a 30day vacation there in August
How many vacation days does he get?
This is insane

[xultar]

1. 2nd Grade?

[ComerPerro]

8. Don't you have to be able to read at a First Grade level

before you can go on to second grade?

[quispquake]

2. Let's see...

...just back from the world tour...and a weekend in Camp David...two daze of lies, and off for a 4 1/2 day vacation at the ranch...

I wish there was something about Bush & his cronies that didn't raise my blood pressure...

[demigoddess]

39. he has to have a few days to practice

his new revised version of his speech so it will sound spontaneous when he gives it the next time

[SoFlaJets]

3. It's humpday

whattayaspect?GWB to actually put in a full weeks'worth of work?Hey the guy's a figurehead at best anyway-Cheney is the president and even HE is controlled by GHWB(Poppy)and the amamzing thing about it is that WE all know this why won't the SCLM report it?

[fob]

16. GHWB? Isn't that the "date rape drug"?

jk

[BurtWorm]

4. He really doesn't like being "president."

He wants to go "home."

GWB, the "scare-quote 'president.'"

[onebigbadwulf]

5. I think

If I'm not mistaken... he's taken more vacation time than any other prez in US history.

[elfwitch]

7. 9 to 5

Even when he is there, he treats it like a 9 to 5 job. I may be mistaken, but if you take that gig you pretty much gotta expect to be on call all the time. No 9 to 5 there. No nap time.

[ignatius]

14. I don't like him being president either, me and millions

of others.

[caledesi]

22. BW - good observation. I think he hates being president too. nt

[Loonman]

6. He's gotta go talk to the cows

His only rapt audience besides the pod people at frerepublic.

[MuseRider]

11. I thought he was afraid

of the cows? Maybe that was horses. Yup a true cowboy. More like a jackass everyday.

[liberalitch]

30. Wait a minute...

this is a joke isn't it?

[caledesi]

49. No, he really is afraid of horses. nt

[asjr]

15. cows

They are probably the only things that can decipher what he says.

[thebigidea]

9. "Bush likes to run in 100 degree heat" - remember that headline?

[tom_paine]

10. Emperors get to take as much vacation as they like

Don't like it?

The Busheviks have devised numerous strategies for retribution ranging from Targeted Investgation and ASudits, to Wellstoning.

[Bozita]

12. Dumbya needs some private drinking time...

...Monday and Tuesday have been tough.

[Malva Zebrina]

45. that is what I think too

needs the time away from his handlers and access to his private stock.

[nonconformist]

13. That press conference yesterday must have wore him out

Poor widdle George. He had to work.

[Scairp]

17. Don't ya know anything?

Answering all of those stupid questions yesterday really drained his tiny brain and now it needs rest. Geez!:eyes:

[grasswire]

19. well...

....he has looked terrible the last couple of days. Really awful.

But I suspect this is some kind of extended strategy session or they are working on a speech.

[Avalux]

18. He'll be in San Antonio on Thursday (tomorrow)

at an "undisclosed" location. What for I don't know. Protest planned at 5:30 downtown.

[elfwitch]

24. my poor home town...

If you are headed to that demonstration, give a big rasberry to him for me. I don't live in San Antonio any more but I hate to see it dirtied up by that schmuck.

[SammyWinstonJack]

48. I live in San Antonio

I'll be more than happy to give Whistle Ass a big raspberry for ya! :hi:

[Malva Zebrina]

46. he's going to pray at the missions

on his knees--for the neat photo op of course. In the background the banner will say--Mission accomplished

[SammyWinstonJack]

47. Really?

He's coming here tomorrow? Good reason for a trip downtown. 5:30, you say? Where 'bouts downtown?

[mumon]

20. Crawford, Texas?

That's a funny name for my toilet bowl.

[northzax]

21. good

the less he's in DC, the less likely he can start a major war. I personally think it's a dumb idea, strategically, any parent of a soldier who dies while he's on vacation will be even more pissed off.

[Minstrel Boy]

23. Maybe, for Daylight Savings Time,

he moves the clock ahead 72 hours.

[devinsgram]

25. Didn't you all know, Cheyney runs the show?

[eleny]

26. Time to go on a bender, huh?

[Zero Gravitas]

27. He's never worked a day in his sorry pathetic life

so why start now. It must be boring sitting around in the White House while Condi and Unka Dick and Kriegführer von Rumsfeld do all the Presidenting for him. Its not lioke he'd ever pick up a book or a newspaper or anything.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

28. Oh, I thought he would be touring the losses of all his Republican

constitutents in California and showing them sympathy and touting his CUT ALL THE TREES DOWN initiative.

[farmbo]

29. "Since its on the way home..." * will fly to Columbus for a fundraiser

and Photo Op. tomorrow.

And call it--straight faced-- "Official Business".

[SammyWinstonJack]

31. Weekends start on Weds,

extended even? Whistle Ass vacations on looooooong extended weekends---- on taxpayer monies. Meanwhile, the troops whom Chimpy McFlightsuit doesn't support, have to pay their own way home, for the two week leave?, after being dumped in Baltimore(is that correct?) What a disgrace he is! :argh: :puke: :grr: :mad:

[maggrwaggr]

32. his job is to raise $$ and that's about it

Oddly, people keep giving it to him.

I suppose it was their deal. "I'll cut your taxes if you give me a little chunk of it."

Basic corrupt business dealings.

[omshanti]

33. Has anyone ever counted how many vacation days

Chimpy has taken? I'd be interested to know.

[omshanti]

35. Bush has spent 27% of his presidency on vacation

I googled it.
Wow. That's like me taking 1 1/2 days off work each week. (Which, with all my procrastination, might be close to true...)
Laziest (P)resident ever!!

Dubya - taken 250 days off so far
Papa Bush - 543
Reagan - 335
Clinton - 152 (during both terms)

http://ask.yahoo.com/ask/20031001.html

36. As of the first of August, 2003-

"According to an August 2003 article in the Washington Post, President Bush has spent all or part of 166 days during his presidency at his Crawford, Texas, ranch or en route. Add the time spent at or en route to the presidential retreat of Camp David and at the Bush family estate in Kennebunkport, Maine, and Bush has taken 250 days off as of August 2003. That's 27% of his presidency spent on vacation. Although to be fair, much of this time is classified as a "working vacation."
http://ask.yahoo.com/ask/20031001.html

Also from the yahoo article:

"What about Clinton? As of December 1999, President Bill Clinton had spent only 152 days on holiday during his two terms, according to CBS News. A former staffer noted Clinton was such a workaholic that "it almost killed Clinton to take one-week vacations during August." In 2000, Clinton cut his summer vacation short to just three days, so he and his wife could concentrate on her Senate race and fundraising for Democrats. While we couldn't find the exact tally for Clinton's last year in office, it's reasonable to expect he didn't increase his vacation rate. And in barely three years in office, George W. Bush has already taken more vacation than Clinton did in seven years."

on edit: OOPS. You're much quicker than I am, omshanti. :hi:

[omshanti]

37. beat ya to it by a minute, soup!

But thanks! :-)

[soup]

38. Noticed that. LOL

Really getting sloooow in my old age.
Maybe I need a vacation!

[terrya]

34. Reagan was a workaholic compared to this boob. n/t

[Clete]

40. Maybe we should be grateful for small blessings.

The less work he does, the less harm he can do.

[Marymarg]

41. I think he hates DC

I'm sure that he does. What does he actually do when he is in the White House? I know he doesn't work so what does he actually do---watch old movies? play video games? listen to audio books? (I know he doesn't read.)

This is a serious question. I just can't imagine how he occupies his time. Anybody have ideas???:shrug:

[Bozita]

42. Yup, DC is fulla leakers, liars, and media filters.

IIRC, he spent a lot of his time in the Texas governor's office playing a golf game on his computer.

[schultzee]

43. He has a serious speech problem and probably is not completely

off of alcohol or other prescription medications. He is obviously wearing an earpiece when he is questioned because he can not answer questions of even minor complexity without falling all over himself.

[mb7588a]

44. Yep, he WAS in that helicopter!

I was curious where he was coming from/going to. Only Bush travels in groups of THREE helicopters. Talk about a friggin' waste of $. Anyway, I was at the Jefferson Memorial and the 3 flew over with one landing at the White House. I figured he was just now getting back from Camp David, but according to a friend at the Treasury Dept., he got back from there on Sunday night.

This guy gets more vacation than Bob Dole.

[KamaAina]

50. My guess would have been Hell

but then, there's really not that much difference, is there?

:evilgrin:

[dkamin]

51. i remember

seeing an itinerary for Bush sometime last year, the article basically was on how Bush was the fittest president in history. he apparently spends like 2-3 hours a day jogging, lifting weights and otherwise exercising. and he goes to bed at like 9pm every night.

[slater71]

52. Now I know why the press conference.

He through them a bone and now its off to the pig farm. 27% of his term as of August has been spent in Texas or Camp David. That does not count for any campaign time. I would guess that would mean at least half of his time in office has been on vacation or campaigning.
