7. The contrast is amazing - my vision of dry, grainy sand and heat of the

desert under pounds and pounds of uniform, weapons, and equipment as opposed to a little golf shirt, the big boat, the crystal blue and white of the water and boat and a cooler sun bearing down. It is quite a striking contrast.

He needed that vacation - and those soldiers can have one some day so it all comes out even. Right?

[cloud75]

8. how can he say we are at war whenever possible and then do crap like this

he such a hypocrite it makes me sick...a republican friend of mine who can't stand shrub says this vacation he is on is hurting him in his party.

How can anyone believe this blood-bath Bush started, is a good thing?
I would never sacrifice one of my loved ones for this dopehead's war.

It looks like only one guy had enough sense to wear a cap. The sunlight on those lakes can be mighty fierce.

[SammyWinstonJack]

21. ASSHOLE!

God, he pisses me off to no end! He doesn't have a care in the World, really he doesn't! Real Americans who he sent to a war based on lies, are fighting and dying in the desert heat of Iraq, while he takes a boat ride. Real Americans are camped on his doorstep, grieving over loved ones he sent to a war based on lies, and all they want is an honest explanation of why he LIED and their loved ones DIED, and what is he doing, taking a ride on a pleasure boat. Real Americans are trying to pay their bills, trying to hang on to their lousy paying jobs and trying to buy gas and food for their families and what is bush** doing? He is taking a ride on a pleasure boat. TIME OF YOUR LIFE, EH GEORGE? Disgusting sorry ass excuse of a human being!

36. fiddling while Rome burns

Truman had approval ratings in the basement during the Korean War, even while he was busting his ass at his job--no five-week vacations for Harry. The one time he was seen to do something non-work-related (attend his daughter's voice concert and then, unwisely, write a scathing letter to a critic who'd been less than kind to her) he was roasted over the flames of popular opinion for attending concerts and writing letters defending his daughter instead of doing his job to defend the soldiers in the army.

That was back when people held their presidents accountable. And back when presidents thought their work mattered enough for them to take the trouble to DO it.

On the other hand, having him doing "hard work" behind his desk isn't exactly what we want either....

23. Outrageous!

Simply outrageous. No words. It's just a great big FU to the Gold Star Moms and Dads.

[Bluebear]

25. "Oh look, 'W', a caviar and smoked salmon plate!"

"I thought the caterers here would be quaint," Laura says, "but they really did it right. Shrimp, darling?"

'Bush is a regular guy I would have a beer' with my fat ass.
