Bush Takes 2 Wk Holiday After Slamming Congress for Vacation

thinkprogress.org — Yesterday, President Bush criticized Congress for taking a “five-week vacation” without voting on offshore oil drilling, despite the fact that he spent this week at the Olympics (while Russia and Georgia went to war).

    Not to mention that for six years when Republicans were controlling Congress he never complained about them taking the same vacations.
  • umbriago, on 08/13/2008, -0/+7He ought to be taking some six month vacations, twice a year.
  • duggtodeath, on 08/13/2008, -0/+7Jon Stewart said it best, Bush is better as a mascot than a President.
  • tmacfan123, on 08/13/2008, -0/+2watch as in those two weeks America goes through the Golden Age of the Bush era...
  • epaps, on 08/14/2008, -0/+0Bush doesn't consider the trip to his ranch a vacation because he claims he'll be working all day by clearing the brush on his property - clearly no time will be wasted.
  • OC73, on 08/13/2008, -4/+2At least he got gas prices to come down before he went on vacation. Who knows how much further the price of oil would've slid had the democrat-controlled congress voted to lift the federal ban on offshore drilling as well.
  • DerangedPenguin, on 08/13/2008, -7/+22 - 5 half dozen to the other. Bush is only taking two weeks off and is never really on vacation. The "football" nor the secure satellite linkups never go down. Personally I hope he goes to Crawford TX, just the thought of all those news reporters enjoying the oh so pleasant Texas weather this time of year. Hanging out in the local night clubs gawking at the women in skimpy clothing makes me jealous.
