Must Be Nice

With millions of Americans out of work and hundreds of thousands of military personnel stuck in Iraq our esteemed President has decided that he deserves a vacation. If only this were a rare occurance.


I'm outta here playa-haters!


Dubya is only a few days away from breaking the record of our most rested president ever, Ronald Reagan. Reagan took a grand total of 335 days during his 8 years in office. Of course, Reagan was also geriatric and suffering from Alzheimer's disease. I'm not sure what excuse the fantastically healthy, obsessively excercised, ridiculously in shape Bush can use to counter the suggestion that he is just plain lazy.

With almost 5 years of the Presidency under his belt Bush has taken almost one full year of vacation.

And, for the record, trips to Camp David, the Bush family compound in Maine or Jeb's place in Florida aren't counted to the vacation total. Those trips would add several hundred more days to the total.

This total also doesn't count the fact that Bush takes a two hour lunch every day, doesn't work weekends or after 5pm. He works 6 hours a day, 5 days a week...30 hours total.

With a work ethic like that it's no wonder we haven't found Bin Laden.

As of today Bush has spent 319 days on vacation. To put this in perspective...in the same time frame the average American has spent 70 days on vacation. To earn those 70 days the average American had to work 40 hours a week. And it's not like they were fighting a war on two fronts...

What makes this all the more amazing is that Bush 43 still has 3 1/2 years left in office. At this rate no one will ever be able to catch up to his lackadaisical presidential pace. Bush is on track to vacation for 542 days of his total 2920 in office.

So while our diligent President spends the, ahem, remainder of August vacationing on his Ranch...clearing brush, riding horses, driving around in a pickup truck...brave soldiers are dying in Iraq and Afghanistan, civilians are being terrorized in London and Jihadis are spreading their brand of militant violent Islam to a new generation of suicide bombers.

Glad to see that Dubya is on the hunt.

How does this bozo get away with such shenanigans? On the taxpayers dime? While we are under attack from Extremists and Liberals?

And they think Clinton was a disgrace...
