Bush May Cut Short Vacation

[Rose Siding]

The White House is concerned enough about President Bush's job rating and its possible effect on Republican chances in the November elections that word of reduction in vacation time at Crawford next month is being put about.

Bush may be so desperate to look engaged that, even if he's not in Washington, aides say he will spend more August nights on the road away from his Prairie Chapel Ranch.

1. It's too bad he didn't cut his 2001 vacation short

[Changenow]

2. Damn

He didn't cut it short when he got that memo titled, "AQ determined to strike..."

He didn't cut it short when Katrina blew New Orleans away..

There isn't a limit to the irony.

[cliss]

11. True enough.

But NOW there's an election to think about. And it's coming up sooner than they think...

THAT'S what really matters.

17. bbuutt bbuutt he doesn't care what the polls say

he says

[madokie]

3. so he is going to go down to crawford for vacation

and they don't care if Cindy knows before hand, is Cindy in jail or sum'en

[NV Whino]

12. I think Cindy is staying in DC

fasting until Sept 12th.

[madokie]

14. so that explains why the crawford coward can and will go down

to the pig farm for more than a flyover. She, meaning Cindy, does have him on the run doesn't she.:woohoo:

[Demit]

4. too much is at stake this year for Bush to spend so much time on vacation,

White House officials told the Associated Press. Apparently there wasn't much at stake in the past five years. Oy!

[opihimoimoi]

6. Cleaning his act? TOO LITTLE TOO LATE

He wants to LOOK Engaged....

How bout BEING ENGAGED?

This Bush Dude never did engage his brain during the past 6 years..

Its been all down hill.

[Gabi Hayes]

5. does that mean he's pulling out of the Tour de France?

[Toots]

7. Spend more nights on the road campaigning with tax payer money

How they howled about Clinton as campaigner in chief....Hypocrites plain and simple...

[bdamomma]

8. uncle karl wants bush ass to be out there

I wonder if bush will throw a temper tantrum.

remember when bush said, "I have a life too" or something like that.

Uncle Karl wants bushie to get on the campaign trail, interesting since so many repubs do not want bush doing any campaigning for them.

[halobeam]

9. The more he's out there, the more he screws up. It's good for democrats.

If we are talking elections. If we are talking about policy or anything else he can get his hands on, the country is better off that he stays on vacation.

[bdamomma]

10. yes, the repubs will continue to further themselves away from

bushie, in the elections, it could work out better for democrats

but again, when bush is on vacation the country is better off, even when he is not on vacation the country is not better off...sigh

[spanone]

13. Boy, that's a true indicator that the thugs are in trouble.

When the King has to relinquish his play time.

[TheCowsCameHome]

15. Good move! Get out and help sink fellow Repugs this November.

I'm with you on this one, *W*

You'll have The Prairie Patty Ranch all to yourself soon anyway.

[eppur_se_muova]

16. OH THE HUMANITY !! nt

[calico1]

18. Let me see if I understand:

Bush's approval ratings are in the crapper so the best thing for him to do is go out and stump for GOP candidates running in Nov? Hey, I am all for it! :bounce:
