President Bush

President Bush is on a five week "working vacation" at his ranch in Texas. US troops are being killed daily in Iraq. The Iraqi Constitution is a joke. Afghanistan-do we still have troops in that country, I can't keep who we've invaded straight anymore. Hurricane Katrina has made New Orleans look like it's Christmas in Thailand (remember the Tsunami, didn't think you did). Healthcare for kids, old people, regular people on hard times- oh yeah we don't have that either. Luckily the budget is balanced, wait, it's not even close. Isn't an unbalanced budget not really a budget at all? Meanwhile our President is having a leisurely bike ride with Lance Armstrong. His day consisted of, and this is from the White House press report, a meeting with Condoleza Rice, a nap, an evening little league game, fishing and some reading. Webster's defines a vacation as "A period of time devoted to pleasure, rest, or relaxation, especially one with pay granted to an employee." I'm not really clear on what a "working vacation" is, they didn't have a definition. The audacity. Today he was away from the ranch. He was in California talking about hard times for people in New Orleans. Hey here's an idea- go to New Orleans or somewhere within the proximity of where the Hurricane hit to talk about it. Shouldn't this guy be stressed out or something? Shouldn't he go back to the White House to figure out how the fuck we should get out of Iraq, what we should do about three crazy countries (Pakistan, Iran and N. Korea) developing nuclear weapons. Shouldn't he be really stressed out that New Orleans basically doesn't exist any more. We saw him shed a tear on 9/11 and people loved him. Anyone can shed a tear, I did, and I'm really really cynical. I wanna see him back in the White House where he belongs.
So Christian conservatives in Southern states that got this man elected have accomplished what? Women are still getting abortions. Gay people can't get married- but they're still fucking! We can still say "under God" in the pledge but let me tell you-that had nothing to do with an election and everything to do with a custody battle, I just briefed that case. We elected the man because he told us we were going to hunt down the terrorists and kill them where they live-in IRAQ! No, Mr. President, there's no we about it. 18, 19 and 20 year old kids are hunting down the terrorists. You're fishing in Texas. Now let me get the logic of hunting them down in their country-they pose this huge threat to us in the middle east? How about we let them live in their country and keep them from getting to ours. Wouldn't that be more logical and fiscally responsible? No we gotta kill them and keep them from getting here. It just saddens me that this man can be on a working vacation in what is one of America's most difficult times. But what makes me the most sad is that no one cares, no one's doing anything about it. Fucking Fox News still loves the guy. These people can't possibly be that stupid to really think he's doing a good job can they. Trent Lott, the former Senate majority leader, doesn't even think he's doing a good job. I hope people take this president's actions out on the Republican party in 2008. I'm gonna be crazy liberal by 2008-three years of law school and a couple more years of Bush, wow. Oh, and wouldn't it be nice if we had a President that said "Going to" instead of "gonna" and "them" instead of "'em" or "racism" instead of "racistism". Enunciate.
