C-Span 9:40 a.m. Mr. Vincent: PRESIDENT IS NEVER ON VACATION!

Airline Response to September 11 Commission
Vincent, Billie, President and CEO, Aerospace Services International

And he mentions three or four presidents including of course our present simulation of a president... they are constantly on "work mode" even when not in Washington.
My comment: putting those other presidents (even Bush Sr.) as having the same work schedule as Bush* is a LIE. Clinton was a workaholic. Bush* does not do beans. Maybe 2 or three hours out of a week's vacation, perhaps. Not even to discuss a PDB saying "AlQaida planning to attack the USA..."

1. Never on Vacation???!!!

What a crock. You mean he never is OFF vacation.

2. I am laughing my head off at this guy

but he does have some cogent things to say.

I'm sure he's right. Now could someone explain it to Shrub?

3. I'm not laughing

As far as I'm concerned, this man basically accused Al Gore of being among those responsible for 9/11, by saying he (Gore) allowed political contributions from the airlines to affect what he put in his airline safety panel's report (which, if someone in the Bush Amin. had paid any attention, oculd have helped STOP 9/11!). Vincent claims Gore dropped a recommended requirement for a "full-bag match" on airlines because the airlines were contributors and Gore didn't want to make their jobs any tougher.

BULLJIVE! DOUBLE BULLJIVE! Al Gore should sue this guy for slander!

When Vincent said the prexy is never on vacation, I turned him OFF!

4. How exactly did bag matching impact 9/11 at all?

They carried all of their weapons on board. Those weapons were, by all accounts, legal at the time.

Did these guys even check any luggage? (Why would they?)

5. Mr. Vincent

President and CEO? Of a one man paper company?

"And so sir how did you become a know it all expert?"

"I formed a company."
