is it hypocritical of Bush to chide the senate and house to come home early from vacation so he can pass a bill for "emergency funds" for the Iraq war?
Bush took 4 days to get to the south after hurricance Katrina, and took at least 4 days to visit the hospital where the war vets werent being taken care of. he's also taken more vacation days than any president in history and he's still got 2 years to go. plus, he said the war will last into the next presidency.
Also, its been estimated that the War Budget wont run out until AT LEAST the middle of June.
lastly, its the constitutional duty of the house and senate to keep him from having too much power, the idea of checks and balances, but he openly tells the media that he's the one who'll decide whats going on, and its not their place to make decisions about the war, even though the finances of the country are exactly what the constitution says is their job.
am i missing something here, or is he very plainly wrong and out of touch?
