Is a Presidents primary job to Campaign?
When the hell is bush* running this country? When does he do his Presidential duties? When does he participate in diplomacy? When does he do anything?

1. I've said the same thing for many years...
WTF does he do besides jet-set around on OUR dime campaigning for these jackasses...

2. No, its not his job to sell a product. By the way, he's not a very good
salesman... bet he wouldn't even make it as a car dealer.

3. you forget that these people are

"running the government like a business". He's just the sales rep, despite the title.

5. That is what I take issue with as well
He is campaigning on the company dime and that is not right....

6. Bush has NEVER been in charge, he's Cheney's puppet
So, it really doesn't matter WHAT he's doing, because he's NEVER been "running the country".


You might as well ask "Who is working the drive-thru when Ronald McDonald is on vacation?"

7. I don't know where he is finding the time to campaign!
What, with all that Shakespearin' and cipherin' he claims to be doing. It is nice to see him taking some time out of his busy vacation to avoid doing any of that 'hard work' he keeps alluding to.

This is strictly a case of CYA. He is desperate to keep his majority in place to prevent his impeachment. I'd love to see someone ask when the hell he was going to take a few minutes to, oh I don't know, DO SOMETHING RELATED TO HIS F*$&%ING JOB?

9. This is why I advocate for a single 6 year term..
No reason for campaigning..and an addditional caveat..

a president should not be allowed to attend ANY "event" outside the white house where the GENERAL public is not invited...

that means NO military base "invasions for show"..

the military has enough to keep them busy without prepping for a presidential pep talk..

A person runs for office from a particular party, but once elected, they are EVERYONE's president/senator/congressperson...

Every president before *² knew this.. He is president of the rightwing republicans, but NO ONE ELSE
