Bush has spent 452 days at his pig ranch in Crawford as President
Edited on Mon Mar-03-08 12:27 PM by Ichingcarpenter
452:

Number of days President Bush has spent at his ranch in Crawford, TX. His stay there this past weekend with the the Danish prime minister marked Bush’s 70th visit as president. President Ronald Reagan, one of the modern presidency’s most “famous vacationers,” spent just 335 days at his ranch in Santa Barbara, CA.

2. We would be better off if he spent the rest of them there as well
Even though he belongs in prison.

3. Should have spent more time there
and causing less trouble in the world.

He really needs to be idle rich, beacause by working he's causing too much harm to the whole planet.

So, I'd be very happy if he took the rest of this year off.

4. Just one more fact to add to his library of failures.
We will have to name it The Hall of Shame.

6. But he is the GOP's Best...their HERO....he deserves the time off
from the hard tasks/work of fucking this Nation into a state of mental depression

He will go down as the most Lazy, Incompetant, and useless MFKR we could ever muster into the Oval Office...

We have shown the World of our Collective Stupidity

8. I'm really not concerned about that
Between Camp David and San Clemente, Nixon spent a great deal of time outside of Washington, too. President Bush -- the real one, who actually won a presidential election -- had five home states to choose from when he wanted to get away.

In this day and age, Congress can pass legislation and have it across the country for the President to sign within hours. For most Congressional acts, that is fine and well. Congress could even pass some sort of electronic signature act that would allow the president to electronically sign a bill into law no matter where he is.

What bothers me and should bother all Americans is that no matter where the Frat Boy is, he's still a fuck up.
