Bush and his "Vacation"

fuji · #1 08-08-2001, 10:50 PM

I usually don't post, but this made me so mad

that I had to say something! I was on the internet today and this article about the President came up. After about 7 months of being in office, President Bush is taking a VACATION! And guess what? It is going to be a MONTH vacation!! It is reported that is the longest vacation in presidential history. My question is do you think he deserves it? I don't think he does!!

LMAO

Let the man take his vacation. You know he has to rest his brain cells. This is the most thinking/working that he has probably done in ALL his life. It's probably taking a toll on him.

LOL All that thinking/working has worn him OUT!

Using all of those "BIG" words can boggle one's mind. LMAO

He won't be back on the job until Labor Day!

So who's in charge?

It's not like Bush runs things anyway.

Must be nice to take 30 days away from your job. It's not like it's that important.

I saw on CNN today that his vacation and/or rest days have equaled 25% of his entire term so far as president. So one out of every 4 days we don't have a "present president".

I wonder how that 49% of the country that voted for him feal now, maybe one of them can fill in....

When he was addressing the nation, didn't all he had to do was READ off the cue cards? or did he MEMORIZE the speach written FOR him all by himself and that's why he stumbled over so many
"peer...pree..preferable" words?

Everyone deserves a vacation. A little R&R is always good. Aside from his politics, he's still a human being, geesh!

A LITTLE R&R. But, come on, basically taking every fourth day off when you are the leader (and I use the term loosely) of the most powerful country on the planet is excessive as far as I am concerned. And hisbeing the longest in presidential istory means precedent is not exactly on his side.

Every passing day I hear more and more people who voted for him kicking themselves now that they see the lemon they bought.

Putting personal political ideologies (and bipartisanism) aside...BUSH puts the I-D-I-O-and the T in IDIOT. Maybe when he comes off of his vacation...the government will have overthrown him. You know what they say: you never know what you have until it's gone------hopefully they'll realize they have a fool in a Brooks Brothers' suit.

There's a fungus among us.

CHAOS

I think that we all know that everyone needs a vacation. Presidents, truly, don't really have the luxury of divorcing themselves from the country's agenda, even while on vacation. So, that's something to consider. Not only that, but I think that we all understand that he's not the genuine leader, but a delegator. Now, if those folk went on vacation at the same time as he, then we'd have cause for some unadulterated concern. Just something to ponder.

If it seems that the vacation is a little long, then speak with your representative about putting together a more firm job description.

That is part of the problem- the fact that his vacation should be the thing to distinguish him form other President's is outlandish. And as the President of the United States of America he should do more than merely delegate.. The belief that he is merely delegates is part of how we had the displeasure of ending up with him in office in the first place.

I am a big fan of vacations- BIG FAN- and believe that every job in the world should include one, but that does not negate the fact that for the President to take that extended a vacation is causing concern amongst those he leads shows it is a problem. The last thing Dubya should want to do is undermine the little confidence the country has in him. .

BTW- He would be the one to require a "more firm" job description. It is always the one that just doesn’t get it that cause the need for clarification of something that made perfect sense to everyone else.

And trust that while my representatives do hear form me (I am a politically active sista) I know there are way more pressing issues on the agenda- like preparing for the economic havoc the tax bill is going to create. (the one thing he did get done! DAMN!)

ROTFL!

Everyone deserves a vacation, but he hasn't even been in office eight whole months yet, and he is already taking a month off!?
