How many vacation days has Bush taken so far...

[Out the Parasites]

I can't find any recent information on vacation days for Bush. I would like to know how many vacation days and personal time off (golf, bike riding, etc.) Bush has taken since we declared war while our troops are risking their lives. Bush seems to only be in office, when Congress is on a recess.

The latest info was August 2003 that I could find says Bush took 250 days off up to August 2003: http://ask.yahoo.com/ask/20031001.html

I believe this should be a new "talking point" for the DNC.

1. You are being too hard on him

It's very hard work, you know

/*sarcasm off */

2. HARD work

and when he's not on vacation, playing golf, riding his tricycle, or choking on pretzels, he's campaigning.

His dad didn't work two days a month either.



edit: I can't type worth a shit anymore.

8. Doesn't it make you sick to watch him

wearing his dorky little cowboy boots, chimpy smirk while people are getting shot to hell? It is about his bad choices and ignorance...while he is on vacation. It just proves he doesn't take people being killed seriously. It would be nice to have the stats. I didn't see any information in this article.

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

5. He gets

two weeks per year as base. Plus one day for every double shift day he works (up to ten days). That's four weeks total. He used those days in Jan-Feb 2004, so by company policy he has no more vacation time coming.

6. In that case, HE'S FIRED!

By order of the stockholders.

7. How about campaign time.

How many needless trips has he made to go out and tout all of his stupid initiatives. Try to think of a president who has had as much boob tube exposeure as *. He has been campaigning non stop for four years.

10. Vacation Time, PTO, Sick Time and ratass campaign time aka:

more vacation time...How does it make the troops feel to see that the Chimp lies while they die? (geez not to mention all of the non-US Troops that have died...80,000+)

and we shouldn't be there in the first place!!!!
