The Wartime President
I also want to talk to you about national security. Make no mistake about it, we are at war. We're at war with an enemy that attacked us on September the 11th, 2001. We're at war against an enemy that, since that day, has continued to kill.
President Bush is getting the kind of break most Americans can only dream of: nearly five weeks away from the office, loaded with vacation time.
The president departed yesterday for his longest stretch yet away from the White House, arriving at his Crawford ranch in the evening for a round of clearing brush, visiting with family and friends, and tending to some outside-the-Beltway politics. It is the longest presidential retreat in at least 36 years.
The August getaway is Bush's 49th trip to his cherished ranch since taking office and the 319th day that Bush has spent, entirely or partially, in Crawford -- nearly 20 percent of his presidency to date...
The American death toll this week in Iraq rose to 27.

Do you really think that the whole time will be spent on "vacation". Do you really think that he can do no work from there in this day and age. You are such a fuckin idiot! I work out of my home and on vacation as do many others. Tell me dumb ass what do you do other than spend all of your time writing stupid shit and hating your country? I bet you draw some kind of goverment check and if you don't you most likely think you deserve one. -- Posted by: smitty on August 5, 2005 03:44 AM

I guess your ability to toss around ad hominems somehow makes it reasonable for our 'comedian and cheat' to vacation while our defenders of freedumb get slaughtered for the benefits of his close friends (industrialists). -- Posted by: Tom on August 7, 2005 10:54 AM

This isn't hating the country. This is hating the President. Since when was hating the Prez the same as hating the country? You sir are lucky to be able to work from your home as my home is a barracks you son of a bitch. I am currently serving this President I hate. Until you become a cobweb of contradictions such as I, Fuck You and Shut Up. -- Posted by: Al on September 1, 2005 08:47 PM
