I will try answer all the points raised thus far with this one response. Try.

I am not criticizing Bush for his "breaks." The last few days, the MSM has been stating that Bush has taken more "vacations" than any other president.

Apparently, not everyone read the very brief copy beyond the headline. The points were: even if Bush is in Texas, he is never "unwired" from any necessary communications system, as they've got it all on the ground there. Also, his breaks are earned breaks, whereas Clinton, apparently, showed up to work at least once a week and said, "Road trip!" and just took off for people and places he'd never seen, going first class and then some, and not giving a damn what the trips cost. (On the other four days of the week, he showed up at work and said, "Toga party!").

And I also pointed out the hypocrisy of just saying Bush has taken so many "vacations," when there is no context given (i.e., his short breaks versus Bill's Grand And Expensive Adventures), and urged Freepers to point this out to any media contacts they have, because our president is again getting smeared in the unique oblique fashion that the MSM has devised for him (hammer him on the NUMBER of vacations, without explaining any fine points, thus sending the message to much of the public that he is not just a do-nothing, but that he doesn't really care).

For those of you who get it, thank you.

For those of you who don't...please go back and re-read.
