I can not belive I am going to defend Bush (sorta, kinda on this one). For anyone who pays attention to this vacation the President of the United States does not totally veg out. They get working vacations which comes down to doing their job on vacation the only difference being they are not in DC. (He still gets breifings, though probably does not pay attention to anything or read anything but look who we are talking about).

They still get to work but yeah, he is not someone who needs to take vacation since he has taken a vacation from work since January 20 2001 every single day.

What Cato said. I know it's fun to think of Bush as a drooling idiot sitting in front of "Three's Company" reruns, but the reality is that the president works pretty much continuously, 16 hours a day, no matter where he is.

I bet Bush does a lot of lounging. He may have to be on passive alert 16 hours a day, but is he really working? That's what the big boys are for. So I would guess that on vacation he has a lot more passive alertness time (i.e. he actually DOES less - whatever it is he does) compared to when he is at the White House. I mean, there are no branches to chop and fences to mend , or sailboats to tan on, in D.C.

Do you REALLY want him working harder at what he's trying to do?

@7 Fuck no. As far as I'm concerned he could sit his pasty white ass in Crawford until the next inauguration day and we'd probably be a lot better off.

@8, but not if it means that instead of Bush working we have CHENEY being "the decider". we all know Cheney is a mutant robot who works 23 hours a day anyway.
