This worries me. Bush begins his vacation in Texas.
Edited on Fri Aug-04-06 11:01 AM by saracat
Does that mean trouble is about to begin domestically? Sad to say, I am not really joking!The laziest president in history is taking another vacation in the middle of world conflict . Sheesh, you think he would be working on the ME problem as Russia is now "protecting" Syria. But I guess why should he start working now? He hasn't in five years.

1. Look at it this way,
he's made a mess of things while on the job. Maybe if he's on vacation, things won't get any worse.

2. Oh come on!!!
This is his "shortest" vacation to date. 10 measly days. :sarcasm:

I'd KILL for 10 days off.

3. Sometimes I think his handlers know how long he can go
without decompensating -- without whatever is "wrong" with him bubbling up under the stress. So, he takes vacations frequently. In a situation like that, you don't have a lot of wiggle room and no matter what is going on, you shut it down until the stress level is back to "manageable".

4. If it's August, it's vacation time, damn the consequences.
Besides, everything the man touches turns to poop. I say let him stay there indefinitely, and take his minions with him.

6. Do nothing President. Do nothing Congress. Kinda goes hand in hand.
There is little Bush can do now to improve his record in office. His legacy will be forever tarnished by his actions. He might as well enjoy his time off now, because once his dirty deeds catch up with him, there will be no rest for the man.

9. It might be a good idea
I don't think we want him governing right now in the state he's in, anyway.

10. Condi's comming over for the weekend
Laura's probably loving that. George will call it a working weekend, the twins probably have a different name for it. Not like they'd give a shit. Why should they?

Wanna tell me again about Clinton's immorality?

12. Yea, I'm worried - two of his August vacations ended with 9/11 & Katrina
Who knows what will occur while incompetence-in-chief ignores memos & warnings. Hope Cindy gives him hell & gets lots of press. He has had more vacation than any other president. Hard work my ass! :mad:

16. But his response: Iraq and FEMA
Maybe some nastiness will happen again. We're better off by far without his contribution. Let the bastard vacation 'til '08.

14. Frankly, I think we would be better off
if he were to stay on vacation indefinitely. When he puts on the appearance of working the results are laughable at best. I, for one, do not want him making any more decisions that affect my country and my world.

That does not negate the fact that he is laziest piece of criminal shit that ever stole an office. He really needs to be deported to a sandbar somewhere but I guess locked up on the ranch is better than nothin'.

15. Hopefully
Hopefully he won't get lucky again and hit more trifecta's.

America can't take much more of Bush enjoying such luck!
