I hate to tell you, Stan, but taking a vacation in Texas is the same as playing golf with far less frequency!
I noted the pics taken of him cutting trees on his ranch. The dumb sucker was shooting sawdust rather than chips! Proof positive that none of his ranch hands nor Secret Service Agents knew how to sharpen a saw --- and he could not keep his out of dirt!!! I have a term for such characters, but ministerial propriety keep me from the "DF" description! The guy had trouble pronouncing his words right even with a script! Old Ronnie Reagan, at least, could read his script with gusto and proper words!!! No President is a dictator in this nation--although they are depicted as such. For sure, John Dean told the truth when he reported in "Worse Than Watergate" Mr. Bush saying, "It would be so much easier to run this country if it were as dictatorship---as long as I was the Dictator!" ![]() You might not like it, but "Worse Than Watergate" told more on Bush than he wanted told. He even tried to buy up all the books so they did not get in public hands = made it a best seller as far as numbers go, buddy!!! ![]() |
I'm not here to defend George W. Bush. President Bush made too many mistakes, which I chronicled here in BCN; however, he did work as a president, not play.
Where the whole: Who took the most vacations(?) argument is so disingenuous is that Bush, the younger, predominately took his "vacations" in Plains, Texas - his home. The better question between the two presidents should be: Who played the most golf, where the government literally takes over most golf course (How much does that cost); and who played politics the most - campaigning rather than working? I think that would better serve to project a more accurate picture between the two men. |
One thing about you, Stan, you are consistent in your criticism!
You ignore the simple fact that Bush took way more time off the Obama. He also used Executive Orders in mass during his time in office and Republicans are bitching and moaning over our current President issuing such in the face of a Congress passing NOTHING in the last 6 years to be of help with the economy. They have not begun to address an inequitable Tax Code / clear and full disclosure of campaign finance / the deterioration of our infrastructure and bridges collapsing / the water situation in the far west off the Colorado River. These are but a few of the issues which take priority for me as a voter. I we could pass legislation against abject hate it might help. Knowing what a miserable failure Prohibition was, we should all admit "you can't legislate morality." |
The Hell of it is that when the Amateur President is finished vacationing on the people's, and there is a real president back in the White House - a Republican president - I predict that we will get hit again by terrorist, just like last time when Clinton did not kill bin Laden when he had the chance.
That was an error in Clinton's judgement, just like lying (in a very big way) in a deposit, and having multiple affairs on the public's dime. Amateur Obama's error in judgement has been about everything. Because of his utter indecision, it took him over 100 days to pull the trigger to kill bin Laden once they knew where he lived. The next terrorist attack will be Candidate Obama's fault, and it will come sooner than many American's think. |
![]() I don't detect a dab of such in your article. I know you respect and admire both Ronald Reagan and George Bush as Republicans. BUT George Bush was in charge when when the Twin Towers and Pentagon got blasted by the same haters as we have now in ISIS. Had the passengers not fought back, the 4th plane was headed for the White House! Valiant action by passengers saved that national treasure from hell fire---not a USAF plane performing the Standing Order of "intercept and bring down any hijacked commercial aircraft by any means necessary." Who countermanded that standing order in the hands of any President? I didn't like George Bush as single bit, BUT I did respect the office he occupied for 8 years. Our President has only less that 2 years left in office before he must step down by law. Old George spent 3 times the vacation time than he has / AND it is seriously disputed how he won Florida over Al Gore --- with the help of his governor brother and their Republican Secretary of State. Bush did as you are positing = putting boots on the ground in Iraq (when the training and core of Al Qada were elsewhere). The real battle is for the minds of people obsessed with hate and destruction. Even some Americans and British have gone over and done the beheading! Hate and destruction have no country. David Koresh and white supremacists follow the exact same outlook in our borders through the years and into today! Will more and better arms ever solve hate and destruction? That is the problem, in my view, good buddy. ![]() |
