It's hard work - Bush has taken 418 vacation days, that's nine weeks a
year
by Pam Spaulding
Bush has been taking 9 weeks a year vacation.
That's more than the French, who get around 6 weeks a year.
Nine weeks a year, folks.
On your dime.
No wonder the Iraqi parliament is taking the month off - they've
learned from the best.
That's why George W. Bush is on track to break the Ronald Reagan's
record for taking the most paid time off on your dime.
I guess you could look at it this way -- the more he's on vacation,
the less damage he can do to the country. (Houston Chronicle):
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/metropolitan/mason/5042364.html
On Thursday, Bush left for a weekend in Kennebunkport, Maine, and his
family's summer compound, Walker's Point.
On Monday, he heads to his Crawford retreat, where he has spent all or
part of 418 days of his presidency, according to Mark Knoller, a CBS
News White House correspondent and meticulous record-keeper.
....The presidential vacation-time record holder is the late Ronald
Reagan, who tallied 436 days in his two terms.
At 418 days, and with 17 months to go in his presidency, Bush is going
to beat that easily.
....A recent survey by Yahoo Hot Jobs found nearly half of American
workers did not take all of their vacation days last year.
Nice to know he's getting tanned, rested and ready while men and women
are working in 110-degree heat in Iraq and getting blasted by IEDs.
Remember, the president also told Nebraska resident Mary Mornin, in
her late 50s, and raising three kids -- one mentally challenged this
in 2005:
MS. MORNIN: That's good, because I work three jobs and I feel like I
contribute.
THE PRESIDENT: You work three jobs?
MS. MORNIN: Three jobs, yes.
THE PRESIDENT: Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic
that you're doing that. (Applause.) Get any sleep? (Laughter.)
Listen to that classic here.

I hear he is going back to D.C. tomorrow. Too bad the democratic
controlled congress wont be there since they are on vacation.

What we find is that the surge has troops going into areas, where for 4 1/2
years we have not seen our military in action. Naturally, they are routing
out al Qaeda in those areas. That's a good thing.

Yes, they deserve a break. Bush deserves a one way fishing trip up the
Tigris.

If I were losing a war against an unarmed country like Iraq I'd probably
work every day to insure success. Some people are satisfied with
failure. We call these people conservatives.
