I Have A Question (Vanity)
August 15, 2005 | Myself

Posted on 08/15/2005 6:27:18 PM PDT by Kaslin

Since the left keeps complaing about President Bush's working vacation, does anyone know what Billy Jeff did during the month of August in the eight years while he was occupying the Peple's House and Congress and the Senate were on vacation.

Just a note, I am not talking about his occupation with Monica

He was off to whatever destination the recent "focus group" told him to go to...usually "staying" with friends, donors, sycophant's....wherever was free and easy....{not a reference to Monica}

Bill, Hill & dau. spent 1 week here in San Diego
on Coronado. Mansion facing the ocean owned by
M. Larry Laurence, then owner of the Hotel del Coronado.
He & his wife gave large money to his campaign, in turn Laurence became Ambassador to
Switzerland and the one who said he was in WWII and
when he died a few yrs later was buried at Arlington.
It was exposed he wasn't in WWII so he was dug up and
replanted elswhere.
Anyways I remember the Clintoons bike riding, WildAnimal Park, and on and on with all the things you do on vacation
in a very wealthy area.
Not the work schedule Pres. Bush has been keeping up with.

Well...in this day and age there really is no such thing. With technology it is not possible for the President to be on "vacation".Read the biographies of the first 6 Presidents,for starters- they would RIDE their horses home, taking many days and truly be out of range and communication. The war of 1812 was resolved with a treaty and the battle of New Orleans took place AFTER the fact.
Anyone saying the President is on a 5 week vacation is a moron...he may be out of Washington, but he is certainly not on vacation, in the true sense of the word.

We know that, but the reason I asked is because I need a comeback to some leftwing lunatics in a political chat room who keep griping about him

Insane power-maniacs don't take vacations. They can't watch over their empires from the beach.

One year, Clinton went to Jackson Hole, Wyoming because Dick Morris' focus group told him that he would get good PR from that. He also spent some vacation time in the Hamptons or out there on the island where Ted Kennedy stays, Nantucket??

The best argument to use would be that GW is staying at HIS OWN HOME...outside of the Secret Service expense, he is not living off the taxpayers...Clintoon would take really expensive trips paid for by us...I recall one trip to Africa that cost something like 50 million...I would research some articles that were probably posted here on FR.
Remember the TOONs never even owned their own home until AFTER they left the WH...yeah NY, now I'm a Senator.......

I believe there was more than one summer where the Klintons spent August in Martha's Vineyard, sponging off the glitterati.

Just a thought. Congress is on vacation also. Their vacation is about 4 days longer too. So, who are you talking about?

wordarchive.com Dan Jacobson 1/1/99 "…… On August 17, 1996, only four months after the death of Ron Brown, there was a fatal crash of yet another plane carrying associates of Bill Clinton. This time it was an Air Force C-130 transport plane that went down near Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where President Clinton had been vacationing. Clinton had left by helicopter to return to the White House just hours before the crash. Besides 8 crew members, the plane was carrying a communications van, many pieces of luggage, and secret service agent Aldo Franscoia. It was on it's way to JFK international airport in New York, where Clinton was going the next morning to celebrate his 50th birthday. Only minutes after taking off, the plane flew into a mountain about nine miles east of Jackson Hole. Aldo Franscoia and all 8 crew members were killed. An Air Force investigation into the crash concluded with the statement that "crew error" was the official cause. There findings could only be a guess: "The crew failed to monitor the aircraft's position and flight path relative to high terrain ... Radar information...was not correctly interpreted." The morning after the accident, at a brief press conference at the White House before Clinton left for New York, he said that he and Hillary were "very sad and shocked" about the crash "because they worked for (him)." He also said during that brief conference that he "was told that they thought the pilot had turned around to come back to the airport." It is not known who told Clinton this, but nobody has ever been found that has thought the plane had turned around. It had not. According to the Air Force investigation, the crew never knew anything was wrong….."

Freeper archy "…..The C130 that hit Sheep Mountain in Wyoming on 18 August 1996 was from Dyess Air Force Base, in Texas [Abeline]. the crew aboard was:
CPT. Kevin N. Earnest, Aircraft Commander
CPT. Kimberly Jo Wielhouwer, Pilot
2LT. Benjamin T. Hall, Navigator
SSgt. Michael J. Smith Jr., Loadmaster
SR. Airman Rick L. Merit, Flight Engineer
SSG. Michael R. York, Loadmaster
SR. Airman Billy R. Ogston, Crew Chief
Airman Thomas A. Stevens, Loadmaster
Aldo Franscoia, United States Secret Service Agent ….."
