thinkprogress.org — Yesterday, after meeting with an oil industry front group, President Bush rebuked the congressional leadership for taking a ?vacation? without holding a vote on offshore oil drilling. Bush?s dig at Congress for being on vacation is ironic, as he rivals Ronald Reagan for the title of ?presidential vacation-time record holder,

Bush has also vacationed more than any US president in history! Not to mention that for six years when Republicans were controlling Congress he never complained about them taking the same vacations. And he can't even hold a flag the correct way. Bravo Republicans! Great Job!

POLITICIANS are "big on taking huge amount of vacation time", unfortunately, both parties are guilty of this.

Its not a party issue. Its a corporate profit issue. Exxon could build a refinery in Mexico and pipe the gas across the border if they wanted to.The democrats aren't in power. Repubs had a run of 6 years owning the exec and legislative branch and didn't do squat. I'm not sure who the 'enviro-nazis' are but it sounds like one of those throw everyone in who doesn't agree with me bucket. Step back and look at it logically.

Personally, I wish the entire city of Washington, D.C. would go on permanent vacation.

Recall congress at bringbackcongress.com.The democrats will run this country to the ground. As Pelosi paints Republicans as oil barrons, here we have Nancy herself with a huge economic stake for herself in alternative energy. Dont get me started with Gore either. You all have to be kidding me how naive you are to see that your democratic leadership is the most corrupt, the most restrictive to free speech, and the least productive.9% approval!

Furthermore, who cares what Bush is doing when congress is the only government entity that can do something about this energy crisis. FYI Obama was body surfing in Hawaii this past week. Learn something and sign the petition at BringBackCongress.com
