- Roger, on 03/04/2008, -19/+207Joke's on America: you elected this guy. Twice.
- hawkeye17, on 03/04/2008, -18/+162The country's going into the toilet and he's on vacation. THAT in a nutshell is George W. Bush.
- madeingermany, on 03/04/2008, -8/+110Bush was in the office 1/20/2001 to 3/3/2008, that's 2599 days, so 452 days on the ranch = 17.39%
- StingingNettle, on 03/04/2008, -6/+93Am I the only one that is relieved to know that he's not working?
- inactive, on 03/04/2008, -6/+60"I Am A War President." - W
- AshScholl, on 03/04/2008, -4/+53gospelofthomas is a groupie
- carpespasm, on 03/04/2008, -6/+47Not so much. Americans voted for Gore once, then had the supreme court override that, and we had a high incidence of tampered, tainted, and tossed out votes the second time around. If we elected him we only did so by not raising enough hell when our choice wasn't carried out.
- notquitegone, on 03/04/2008, -7/+46I didn't vote for him.
- inactive, on 03/04/2008, -3/+39Cashman gets more and more desperate. "Mental midget"? President of Harvard Law Review??
- damagingd, on 03/04/2008, -6/+41it does depend on your meaning of vacation.. he will clear brush, cut trails, and plan an evil conspiracy with the danish president.
- Rodman930, on 03/04/2008, -5/+38He has taken more vacation than any modern president. Given the state of the country, that's unacceptable. Weekends be damned!
- AshamedAmerican, on 03/04/2008, -3/+34Talk about playing the fiddle while Rome burns.
- thebellmaster1x, on 03/04/2008, -1/+30Haha, "warmongering"? What dick of a President got us into a war in Iraq we couldn't afford? Was it Obama? I don't think so, pal.
- rynTAU, on 03/04/2008, -11/+36Just to further reinforce what an above digger mentioned..
Bush as taken spent 452 days at the Ranch out of 2599, which is 17.4%"
As a comparison, the average American gets 2 days off per week, 7 holidays and 10 days of vacation a year..
(52*2) + 17 = 111 which is 30.4%..
the Germans get 42 vacation days on average (roughly 40% not counting state holidays)
the French get about 37 (38% not counting state holidays)
the British... 28 (36% not counting state holidays)
Is anyone getting tired of this thread popping up? - inactive, on 03/04/2008, -7/+28I wonder if, in the morning after his shower, somebody ever called to know where the President is and Laura answered, "He's on the ranch dressing".
- BossKey, on 03/04/2008, -4/+25A presidency that produced nothing but war and recession...just like his dad's presidency.
Except this Bush had the added result of a successful terrorist attack, unlike the previous administration.
Don't elect any more Bushes! (There are others) - Shiftgood, on 03/04/2008, -5/+25I thought he took frequent naps and went to bed at 9?
must be tiring getting your strings pulled all day. - inactive, on 03/04/2008, -16/+36WHO THE ***** CARES! The job of President of the United States is NOT one that requires one oto be in a specific office. I realize the minimum wage kids on Digg don't understand that concept. But it is simple. Being President of the U.S. is pretty much a Telecommuting job.
- inactive, on 03/04/2008, -18/+38True, evil doesn't rest.
- pnmoore, on 03/04/2008, -0/+19How many of the days were with a foreign representative, much like this one with the Danish Prime Minister? Not sure those count as vacation.
I don't know about you but when I am on vacation I don't take somebody from work with me, and a foreign PM counts as someone from work if you are president.
There is enough to slam Bush about without reaching, and this is a reach. - ScienceDoc, on 03/04/2008, -15/+34I want to see him do the perp walk after they indict him.
- PATSCRU, on 03/04/2008, -1/+20WHAT
- inactive, on 03/04/2008, -3/+21I think you're confusing the internet for the real world, and internet tough guys for angry mobs.
- darkciti2, on 03/04/2008, -4/+22We're not the leader of the worlds only super power (at least for the time being).
- inactive, on 03/04/2008, -0/+17cashmans a moron
- salmonmoose, on 03/04/2008, -2/+19It could be much worse. He could be actually running the country.
- aldenhg, on 03/04/2008, -3/+20I would say that we didn't and he stole both elections.
- NaziHatinChimp, on 03/04/2008, -7/+23Wow, dude wow. I wish I lived in your world. Instead he'll get a library and year round protection from both agents and the media. If no one's done it yet they won't do it. I wish you were right.
- zeitgueist, on 03/04/2008, -3/+19This is the best talking point.
Why spend anytime at the White House at all then? - inactive, on 03/04/2008, -3/+19Why don't you defend Bush instead inventing stupid crap about Senator Obama?
Oh yeah, I remember... never mind. - Railz, on 03/04/2008, -0/+16"gun grabbing/warmongering" Woops.
- cohortq, on 03/04/2008, -0/+15I always tell people, I didn't want this rut that we're in, I voted Democratic, TWICE. It's whatever ***** voted for this guy because they bought some rhetoric about family, moral, and Christian values. I didn't vote for this war, this deregulation in the financial sector, or illegal spying.
- inactive, on 03/04/2008, -45/+60Bush is the most wired man in the world. He has a 747 loaded with communications equipment (not AF-1) that flies wherever he does. The White House is wherever he is. I very much doubt whether any of the digger kids could keep up with his work schedule. He is on call 24/7.
- nasalspray, on 03/04/2008, -8/+22Don't see any problem here.
President Cheney needs to send his puppet out for an airing every now and then. - StarlessKnight, on 03/04/2008, -2/+16Except he played the guitar while New Orleans drowned.
- darkciti2, on 03/04/2008, -5/+18Don't underestimate your Bushie. He'll be in the news for a while, during the hearings, the indictment, etc.
- Andareed, on 03/04/2008, -3/+15ORLY? See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_election_reco ... . Even if you assume Bush won fairly, less than 51% voted for him. You can't simply ignore the other 49% that didn't.
- bsmang, on 03/04/2008, -0/+11C'mon man, if you're going to bust someone's balls like that then don't ***** up "your".
- coit, on 03/04/2008, -1/+11Excellent points. Now prepare to be dugg down.
- merwin, on 03/04/2008, -0/+10He does just as much of nothing as he does everywhere else. And BTW, the Crawford ranch is not his home. It's a fake ranch that he bought to look like a cowboy.
- Railz, on 03/04/2008, -4/+14Every recount has stated that popular vote also went to Al gore. You mentally closed conservatives need to stop hiding behind the GOP. They aren't your friends.
- KSUdesigner, on 03/04/2008, -5/+15Well I don't know about you, but I have weekends off because the business isn't open on weekends. I wasn't aware the country shut down on weekends too.
- inactive, on 03/04/2008, -3/+13He's wired, but not in the way you mean.
- nova912, on 03/04/2008, -3/+13By Choice!
- SeventhSon, on 03/04/2008, -0/+9Wow. Your grammar got worse in one minute. At least, I think it did. Does leaving off a period on your first post make it better or worse than not capitalizing the incorrect usage of 'your' in your second one?
- Zippo, on 03/04/2008, -0/+9Joke's on America: you didn't really elect this guy either time and he still controlled it for 8 years.
- grovest4life, on 03/04/2008, -0/+9I Don't think this Comment is relevant to the article.
- Timbo1970, on 03/04/2008, -1/+9I'm wired 24/7 too with a Blackberry and laptop, but I still have to put in 40-50 hours a week at the office and extra time when it's needed. He wasn't elected as a desk-jockey, but as the leader of a country. If he can't dedicate the time and demeanor the job is due, then he doesn't deserve the job.
- JohnFrum, on 03/04/2008, -0/+8heh, with his sub-20% approval rating the anti-bush "bias" doesn't just belong to Digg.
Here's a fun fact. Bush has nearly the lowest sustained approval rating of any US president. It's not just that it's low. he's managed to keep it low for a long long time. - DavidGX, on 03/04/2008, -0/+8"moonbats" ???
lol.. there's an old one. -
