US at war. Bush on vacation.

If we are still at war, why is the Commander in Chief on a 5 week vacation?

(send this to your newspaper as a LTTE)

1. Being a president is hard work.

5. "a strong and likeable leader"

So, he sucks in every other area and is perceived as "arrogant" by 56% of people polled, but he's still a "strong and likeable leader"?

2. I don't know but it must be very demoralizing for the troops.

:(

3. Why, that's "truly American," isn't it?

Oh, no. I forgot. It's truly Amerian to have 3 jobs and NEVER be able to take a vacation, but we allow our royalty to do whatever the hell they want.

4. He has spent over 300 day at the ranch through out his

Presidency, two months shy of a year on vacation. Timmy Toolbox is lucky to get a sick day when he has the flu and this ass hat has the gaul to spend a year on vacation! We really need to juxtapose this with the average working man in every way possible! Goes to show he really isn't running the show any way.

7. These are the same folks that made fun of Carter when he locked himself

in the WH when the Hostages were taken in Iran. At least he showed he was "with the people" that put themselves in harms way for our country.
This guy spits on our ves coming home. He goes to Crawford to forget his evil doings.
He has to leave so Rove and Co acan do their evil in DC and he can say he was on vacation and wasn't aware of it!!

9. I think it's been 318 days so far - then add the 5 weeks this month

the 'windshield rancher' will be vacationing... and he's up to 353 days of blissful relaxation



edited the numbers after finding out bush is stretching his vacation to 5 weeks this year

11. It blows my mind that hard working blue collar

folks can vote for this spoiled rich kid who has never truly worked a day in his life.

6. The US is at war, but he is not a part of the US...

...not in that way.

War is for the little people in the US. Like back in the Vietnam era when he supported "nobodies" going over but dodged the draft himself.

War and sacrifice are meant for regular Americans--of which he and his circle have never numbered themselves.

8. I wonder if he will take some time

Off from his vacation and attend a memorial for the Ohio soldiers killed in Irag.

10. It's a "working vacation"

12. Best question of the week.

Any answers?
