hmmmmm if she DID take those days off could it be any worse than THIS:

Dear Yahoo!:
How many vacation days has George W. Bush taken to date as president? How does that compare with Clinton?
Vince
West Hollywood, California

Dear Vince:
While the president of the United States is never completely on vacation, most commanders-in-chief manage to enjoy a respite from the daily grind during their stay the White House. George W. Bush seems to have taken this to the extreme early in his tenure as president. A humorous, fake resume for Bush suggests that he set the record for most days on vacation by any president in U.S. history -- a bit of an exaggeration, but still cause for some teasing.
According to an August 2003 article in the Washington Post, President Bush has spent all or part of 166 days during his presidency at his Crawford, Texas, ranch or en route. Add the time spent at or en route to the presidential retreat of Camp David and at the Bush family estate in Kennebunkport, Maine, and Bush has taken 250 days off as of August 2003. That's 27% of his presidency spent on vacation. Although to be fair, much of this time is classified as a "working vacation."

Bush isn't the first president to get away from his work. George Bush Sr. took all or part of 543 vacation days at Camp David and in Kennebunkport. Ronald Reagan spent 335 days at or en route to his Santa Barbara, California, ranch during his eight years in office. Of recent presidents, Jimmy Carter took the least days off -- only 79 days, which he usually spent at his home in Georgia. That's less than three weeks a year, which is closer to the average American's paid time off of 13 days per year.

What about Clinton? As of December 1999, President Bill Clinton had spent only 152 days on holiday during his two terms, according to CBS News. A former staffer noted Clinton was such a workaholic that "it almost killed Clinton to take one-week vacations during August." In 2000, Clinton cut his summer vacation short to just three days, so he and his wife could concentrate on her Senate race and fundraising for Democrats. While we couldn't find the exact tally for Clinton's last year in office, it's reasonable to expect he didn't increase his vacation rate. And in barely three years in office, George W. Bush has already taken more vacation than Clinton did in seven years.

Please note that this was PRIOR to the end of Bush's FIRST TERM

You have to be under 25 yrs of age for sure....Besides the fact the woman is over 50, she has probably gone through Menopause and doesn't have a Period anymore, so no, that won't be an issue I am sure....Besides that, even if she did, there are Air Force Pilots, Surgeons, Doctors, Airline Pilots, Military Officers, Air Traffic Controllers, etc. All having women in the in those jobs, that do have a Period every month and still get the job done. What do you think, we become Immobile?? The one good thing if she still does have hers (Hillary), is that every 28 days she "ain't gonna take no sh!t", by crazy third world nut job leaders and wanna be's!!!!! ......Baby Bush, vacations all over the place, Hardly a full time world leader, surely!!!

I'd rather have a leader take 2 or 3 days off a month, than constantly taking weeks of vacation at a time like the current idiot in the White House. A category 5 hurricane is about to hit America, Mr. President! "Sorry, but I'm on vacation. I'll deal with it when I get back. What's the worst that can happen".

Pathetic. That's part-time leadership for you. He had ADVANCED warning, and still couldn't be bothered to do his job.

She is likely menopausal, as others have said.

A woman who has difficult periods is hardly someone who should be mocked, and likely wouldn't have made it far enough up the ladder in the first place, think about it.

There are enough problems with her politics, without getting petty.

LMAO!!!! I love it! She doesn't have a penis so she can't be a full time world leader. Bush has a penis, and it sure didn't endow him with any special powers of leadership AT ALL. Worst president we ever had.

Not agreeing with her political views is one thing, feeling the need to insult all women is quite another. Go back to the 12th century.

That would be a lot fewer days than Bush takes off.

Nah, she's probably old enough to have already gone through menopause. Nice try for a slam, though....

Probably not, but she will be mentioning "God" every possible second up until the election like she did in Alabama yesterday to try and make people think she's not the secular crank they know she is.
