Can't Bush make all his stupid speeches from the W.H. & save gas?
He's always tooling around on air force one, which costs billions per year, when he could be doing all his useless speeches from the white house, built specifically for that purpose.

It'd really go a long way toward conserving gas I think. He is the most glaring gas waster on the planet.

1. You aren't even mentioning the fleet of SUV's that always go with him!
I know, I even sent several emails to the WH pointing this out, and that they could be the #1 example in the Country. I'd be shocked if anyone even read them, and if they did, it was probably the joke of their day.

2. Not to mention all the money it costs
To pay a fawning crowd to come and listen to him, and pretend he is making sense.

And the money it costs to keep patriotic Americans who are protesting him out of sight.

3. all the suvs, helicopters, support planes it must cost millions
And there is a sick person who needs help and time is not on their side.
And there is the homeless person who maybe just needs a helping hand and is too proud to ask for it, just down on his/her luck for whatever reason.
And there is people who would like to at least make a living wage for their efforts, not have to ask for handouts like food stamps, help with housing, etc.
And there is the kids, men and women who want a better education, to better help their families, the world to be a more gentle and kind place so all people can have a slice of the good.
Yes, mr bush* you are a very bad person of the likes I have a hard time believing ever lived before.
now I must go shower for using mr in refering to shrub

4. When Bush was in the Napa Valley for some of his famous down time
he was accompanied by 30 California Highway Patrol cars. And that's not counting his black Suburbans, nor his white Suburbans, nor the two ambulances, nor his communications vehicle, nor the communications plane that circled above Meadowood Resort all night, nor the fire trucks, nor the haz mat truck, nor the 4 black hawks that escorted him in and out of the Angwin Airport. I've probably missed a few things as well.

:grr:

8. By flying around on Airforce One, he looks like he is actually the
pResident. If he stayed at the WhiteHouse, he would have to play solitaire on his computer for about 8 hours or so.

Little georgie gets bored quickly.
