Bush poised to set vacationing record
WACO, Texas -- President Bush is getting the kind of break most Americans can only dream of -- 33 days away from the office, loaded with vacation time.
The president departed yesterday for his longest stretch away from the White House, arriving at his Crawford ranch in the evening for five weeks of clearing brush, visiting with family & friends. By historical standards, it is the longest presidential retreat in at least 36 years.
The August getaway is Bush's 49th trip to his cherished ranch since taking office and the 319th day that Bush has spent, entirely or partially, in Crawford -- nearly 20 percent of his presidency to date, according to Mark Knoller, a CBS Radio reporter known for keeping better records of the president's travel than the White House itself. Weekends at Camp David or at his parents' compound in Maine, bump up the proportion of Bush's time away from Washington even further.

Have you every heard of a working vacation? Do you really think that there is ever a moment that a president, ANY president, is truly "out of pocket"? They are always working. Just because you are not in your office does not mean you are not giving your full attention to your job--- LIKEWISE, just because you are IN your office, it doesn't mean that you ARE giving your full attention to your job. Clinton PROVED that!
Maybe if Clinton had spent more time traveling WITH HIS WIFE and less time in his "office", then Osama would have been dead before he left office and 3000 Americans would still be alive and the WTC might be standing.
Find some real issues to argue. This is just lame.

Not unless he has absolutely no work with him whatsoever and is totally out of contact with the media. And you know that's not going to happen. Truman, a Democrat, had his vacation home in Key West. JFK went to "the Compound." Clinton mooched off of friends and other rich people because he didn't have a house.

""""""""NEWSFLASH"""""""""" THE PRESIDENT IS NEVER!!!!!!!!! REALLY ON VACATION. If a disaster occurs or an emergency pops up he can't simply call up and say HEY I'll be back in a week. He can run this country from ANYWHERE in the world even from the Sky AKA Air Force One. Now do try to find something else to complain about.

Do you think Bush does nothing on "vacation"?
