The President is not on vacation!

Posted: 8/24/05 at 2:34pm

The White House has announced that The President is actually not on vacation but operating on a full schedule, he's just doing it from the ranch.

According to the San Bernardino Sun, White House spokesperson David Almacy “said the reason that Bush is in Crawford, Texas, is due to the renovation of the West Wing of the White House.”


The thing is he's spent the month of August on the ranch every single year of his presidency.

Yeah...and I am certain that he's never disturbed, and he's not putting in any office time. Yup, just there for total R & R.

Frankly, I know someone who actually worked on the President's staff; and said that they were shocked at how many hours he puts in. She said that he only sleeps about 5 hours per night. Especially since he quit drinking, he's substituted that addiction for working ridiculous hours.

When did he stop drinking? If this is him sober, I suggest he gets back on the bottle.

The man loves Texas and hates Washington, so let him spend some time at HOME. He's working, get over it.

Being president is a full-time job. That's why he employs people to do it FOR him!

He has spent 339 days on vacation during his presidency.

Can someone tell me just what other job offers a year of vacation for every five worked? Cause I'll apply.

Fine, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and judge him on the results of his work, instead.

Yup, he still sucks.

The worthless President is on vacation - just like he was the month before 9/11. He gets to go home for a whole month a year , unlike the soldiers who are fighting the war he started.

Pinguin, if he doesn't like Washington, then he should never have gone. This country would be in much better shape if he hadn't.

This thread makes me think of lines from a Lion in Winter:

Eleanor: A little? Why so modest? How about eternal peace? Now there's a thought.

According to the San Bernardino Sun, White House spokesperson David Almacy “said the reason that Bush is in Crawford, Texas, is due to the renovation of the West Wing of the White House.”

Are the American people actually gonna let this be pulled on them? "Um, he's actually there because the White House is being renovated. The reason we originally said he was on vacation was....um, because....um, we lied. Yeah."

'He has nothing to worry about except for the half-million or so militant muslims extremists that would love to see him assume room tempeture.'

Ya know what? That don't play here. Do you get on a subway every day just wondering if today is the day that they blow it up? Do you work a block from Time Square and are just wondering when the dirty bomb is gonna go off? Does your company issue survival backpacks and run exit drills JUST IN CASE?

They're not just coming after him.
