Whatever you say, President Crankypants...

Crawford-Bound Bush Slams Congressional Vacation


With both the House and Senate in recess, President George W. Bush slammed the Democratic-led body Tuesday, saying Congress should get back to work. ...

President Bush plans to spend Thursday through Sunday at his ranch for an extended Easter weekend.

This will be Bush's 63rd trip to his ranch since taking office. He has spent 405 days, either entirely or partially, at his ranch in Crawford, according to Mark Knoller, a CBS Radio White House correspondent known for keeping meticulous records of the president's vacation days.

In 2005, Bush was roundly criticized for taking a lengthy vacation of nearly five weeks away from the White House -- one of the longest presidential retreats in at least 36 years -- when Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast and left New Orleans engulfed in floodwater.

The senate is taking 2 weeks, not a long weekend. In the Air Force we have stopped taking 3 day weekends, it isn't exactly right in a time of war is it?

Perhaps he didn't pay attention the day they taught the definition of hypocrisy at Yale and Harvard.

As of 2003 Bush was on vacation 27% of his presidency.
First year in office set the all-time record for most days on vacation by any president in US history.
After taking the entire month of August off for vacation, presided over the worst security failure in US history.
Longest Vacation of any president in history

Yeah your right, when I'm on vacation I don't clear brush, and drive around the woods. Also when I'm handed important intel such as a "president's daily brief" containing a two-page section entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US" I might actually stop and read it and act accordingly.  ::)

I wonder if any of those 98 days he didn't work that year could have been used to follow up on the lead from teh German Ambassador which details plans of the 9/11 attacks.

The call did come during his vacation, Aug 5, which was five weeks before the attacks.

The ambassador gave Bush 5 of the names - the Germans had gotten the info from the Israelis, oddly.  He also gave the attack date and the targets.  

I sure wish Bush would have taken one of those 98 days off, to do something about the 911 intel he was given.  But I guess that would be asking too much of the man we elect to keep us safe, right?
