"You were born there," a reporter reminded him. "Shhh," Bush replied.

Family Time at Kennebunkport

KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine, Aug. 24 -- President Bush returned to his parents' century-old oceanfront retreat here Thursday for the first time in his second term, putting aside the troubles of the world to some extent for a brief spell of fishing and family.

After a morning flight on Air Force One, Bush wasted little time getting started with his four-day weekend, heading out with his father, George H.W. Bush, and daughter Jenna for a fishing trip aboard Fidelity III, the former president's boat. No word on whether either angler-in-chief caught anything.

The president will also find the volatile domestic debate over the war in Iraq following him here as protesters aligned with peace activist Cindy Sheehan plan to picket a Bush family wedding Saturday. Sheehan and her supporters have made it their mission to follow the president on his vacations to confront him about the war.

Bush takes pride in his Texas identity and often plays down his New England roots. Just this week, for instance, he playfully eschewed his family's home region in discussing Democratic Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman's independent campaign in Connecticut, saying he had no plans to go support Lieberman's bid. "I'm going to stay out of Connecticut," Bush said.

"You were born there," a reporter reminded him.

"Shhh," Bush replied.

Antiwar groups affiliated with Sheehan plan to rally as close as they can get to the wedding at St. Ann's Episcopal Church, near Walker's Point. "Join with people of conscience to call for an end to the war in Iraq and say NO! to the Bush Agenda," reads an online recruitment pitch for the demonstration.

1. So the ersatz Texan caught no fish.

Probably afraid of them.

I just hate the scorn and ridicule that he has brought upon my Home State and my fellow Tejanos.

2. Look what he did to our nation!!

[TomInTib]

5. What he did for Texas on the National stage he accomplished

in spades the outrage against the Nation on the International forum.

I live in a town that is absolutely full of people who are world travelers.

The tales they bring back regarding international contempt for Americans are absolutely mind-bending.

He is truly a 'uniter'.

6. My father is from Texas and hates Bush. He says his accent is

a joke.

I hate Bush more and more everyday. Just when I think I have reached the pinnacle of hatred, he raises it a little more.

9. This turd of a monkey hides even from himself

He is not texan, or cowboy, or oil man, or business man, or president for that matter. GWBushit is fake, a hollow thing. He deserves not one iota of respect and his death would make many happy. Hows that for an obituary?

[niyad]

11. why in the HELL is this bastard on vacation AGAIN??? were we not

supposed to feel sorry for him because he ONLY did ten days on the prop pig farm?? maybe the boat will flip. . . .
