Meanwhile, Bush is "biking, relaxing, STROLLING" at his "ranch"

[Bluebear]

CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - Besides monitoring the devastating earthquake in Southeast Asia, President Bush is biking and strolling around his ranch here and pondering tax reform and other goals in his second term.

"He's clearing some brush this morning," deputy White House press secretary Trent Duffy said Tuesday, adding that the president and first lady also planned to host friends at the ranch.

"He's doing some biking and exercising as he normally does, taking walks with the first lady, and thinking about what he wants to accomplish in the second term."

Simplifying the tax code is among Bush's second-term goals.

1. Poor baby has a tough job.

[Bluebear]

3. It's hard working monitoring that earthquake

Oh wait, we're ALL monitoring it. Most of the world is glued to their TV, yet he takes a stroll.

[Kire]

2. Bush clearing brush = better than Ridge's color system?

We know what happened the last time he cleared brush.

God forbid, but that's all I'm saying.

4. Shortly after 9-11, Shrub said that not being able to run as much

as he would like was one of the saddest things about the presidency. Oh, 3000 of your citizens dying doesn't qualify as sad??

[Bluebear]

5. He was also asleep by 11pm on 9/11/2001

The world was sleepless but he slept like a baby. A few months later he said "All in all it was a fabulous year for Laura and me."

8. Very pitiful

On 9-11 I was up all night watching the TV, hoping they could find some people alive in that rubble. As a former soldier, I wanted to go over there and kick Osama's ass myself. And there is the commander in chief reading "the pet goat". Pitiful.

12. at new year's eve (01) he said he and Laura had a FABULOUS year :puke:

Ms. Milbank quotes Mr. Bush as saying, "All in all, it's been a fabulous year for Laura and me."

not to mention JOKING how he never DREAMED he'd hit the TRIFECTA (Re: 911) on over a dozen occasions starting just a month after that horrid day :argh:

"Obviously, we've got budget matters. You know, when I was running for President, in Chicago, somebody said, would you ever have deficit spending? I said, only if we were at war, or only if we had a recession, or only if we had a national emergency. Never did I dream we'd get the trifecta." (Laughter.)

13. If 9/11 was "fabulous" this will make him do cartwheels.

[electric-eye]

6. Hard to believe he hasn't fallen down a well or something by now

[candle_bright]

7. We have to do something!

In order to make this stick, we need to show what others are doing. There is NO way that Kofi Annan, Jacques Chirac, Gerhard Shroeder, Zapatero, and others are busy vacationing right now.

Plus, on an earlier thread someone mentioned that the U.S. has given less money for relief than other nations.

20. Hi candle_bright!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[CelticWinter]

9. I have never seen a president (gasping)

vacation as much as he does

[Bluebear]

10. While the world is in agony.

[ClearMessage]

11. give him a break

he's probably trying to figure out how to give more of our money to Halliburton to help the victims.

[proudbluestater]

14. Love this part...

"He's doing some biking and exercising as he normally does, taking walks with the first lady, and thinking about what he wants to accomplish in the second term..."

pondering how he can best screw us over, no doubt.

[Tinoire]

15. We should be more understanding. Please watch and sympathize.

Has no one any pity for all the "hard work" _Bush is doing?

Did everyone already forget what he told us during the debates? It's HARD WORK! Everybody knows it's hard work!

Sheesh DUers... Let's have a heart :sarcasm:

22. I hadn't really thought about this until today

I guess I'm so used to the moron* staying in hiding, that it did'nt click, but, where has this lazy bastard been?

It seems that the "leader" of the free world would have been on this from the start, getting massive ammounts of humanitarian aid flowing, no matter who was affected.
