    Chickenshit Bush takes vacation from his fucking Vacation!!

    President Bush to Visit Idaho Next Week

    BY JOHN MILLER, Associated Press WriterTue Aug 16, 7:49 PM ET

    President Bush will make his first trip to Idaho next week, spending Monday evening and Tuesday vacationing in the lake and resort region near Donnelly and then speaking about the war against terrorism at the agricultural community of Nampa on Wednesday.

    The president will fly to Boise on Air Force One Monday evening after attending a Veterans of Foreign Wars conference in Salt Lake City, according to a White House spokeswoman.

    Hangar space has been reserved for Marine One, the presidential helicopter, at the McCall Airport in Valley County, about 100 miles north of Idaho's capital city on the two-lane State Highway 55. From there, it's just 10 miles to Donnelly, where the new Tamarack Resort ski and golf club opened last December.

    "He will remain overnight in Donnelly," said Dana Perino, a White House spokeswoman, during a press briefing in Crawford, Texas, where President Bush is vacationing at his ranch.

    "Tuesday, there are no public events, still he will be in Donnelly, Idaho," Perino said. "And Wednesday, August 24th, the president will make remarks on the war on terror, and that's in Nampa."

    The Idaho Center in Nampa, a performing-arts and sports arena that can hold 12,600 spectators, has been reserved for a potential appearance by the president at a rally with military personnel and their families.

    White House aides declined to confirm where Bush would be staying in Donnelly, or whether the Nampa event would take place at the Idaho Center.

    Bush plans to return to Texas after Wednesday's terrorism address, Perino said.

    His visit follows a stopover in Boise by Vice President Dick Cheney on Monday evening to help raise money for the 2008 re-election campaign of U.S. Sen. Larry Craig (news, bio, voting record), R-Idaho. Cheney's trip was part of a swing through Western states, including Montana, where he stumped for conservative lawmakers.

    In the Nov. 2, 2004 election, Bush won 68 percent of the Idaho vote, along with 43 out of 44 counties.

    "Our state has been a bastion of support for the president," said Gov. Dirk Kempthorne, R-Idaho, in a prepared statement. "Idahoans have stood at his side in his support of our troops and his work to help the national economy recover."

    This would be the first presidential visit to Idaho since Bill Clinton came to McCall during 2000, when large fires burned more than 250,000 acres in the region.

    sure would love to get ahold of the books and see when these reservations were made. I'm guessing within the last week .......

      You're crazy if you think this was spontaneous. The Secret Service scouts the places the President is going weeks in advance. With all these stops, they would never allow it.

        It just slays me how the press treated Slick Willary. When the US President that was fucking an intern took a vacation it was well deserved.

        The Houston Chronicle
        August 16, 1993, Monday, 2 STAR Edition SECTION: A; Pg. 5
        HEADLINE: Clinton takes real vacation
        BYLINE: GREG McDONALD; Staff
        DATELINE: VAIL, Colorado

        (excerpt)

        A tired-looking Clinton, off on his first real vacation since becoming president, seemed reluctant Saturday morning to admit to reporters that he was having a good time. He kept mumbling stuff about health care being the next big ticket item on his domestic agenda. But by evening, he'd had such a good time on the local links with Ford, golf legend Jack Nicklaus and Houston's own Ken Lay, chairman of the Enron Corp. and one of George Bush's best pals, that he decided to stay over until today. Clinton, his face sunburned but beaming, told reporters that he and first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and 13-year-old daughter Chelsea were having too good a time to leave Sunday as planned.

        Or this from Time:
        The Knoller files turned up a lot of information that was undeniably fascinating, if only marginally useful. Knoller said, for instance, that during Mr. Clinton's 17-day vacation in Jackson Hole, Wyo., in 1995, the President spent 55 hours and 36 minutes playing 206 holes of golf, scoring an average of 85.1, while in 1997 on Martha's Vineyard he spent 48 hours, 31 minutes, playing 180 holes in an average of 82.73 strokes per round.


        Try this:
        “Bush doesn't get to pass off his dead-serious duties to some puffball substitute host. He, like all presidents, is on call 24 hours per day. That became his existence the moment he was sworn into the office, and so it will remain until the day he leaves. For the President of the United States there is no such thing as a real vacation from work, ever. Leave him alone to enjoy what little rest he can. “

          Maybe that's because he actually WORKED the other 50 weeks of the year?

          Clinton was a notorious workaholic. As for how "the press treated him" the fact that you even know Monica Lewinsky's name proves that they didn't treat him that well. Reagan got much better treatment from the press and got away with actual crimes. But still nothing compared to what THIS incarnation of the BCE has done.

            Um, yeah.

            If President Bush takes his annual month-long vacation this August at the ranch, get ready to hear the howls from all the usual suspects about how he is lazy and not doing his job. Democrats (and many in the media) whine and moan every time Bush takes a vacation, despite the fact that when Bush has “vacationed” in the past he has:
            - hosted foreign leaders
            - received daily national security and other policy briefings
            - been in constant communication with Washington
            - participated in and responded to questions surrounding national policy debates
            - given Presidential addresses to the nation
            - flown to Iraq to visit the troops (Thanksgiving, not August, of course)
            - traveled all over the country to rally support for policy initiatives
            - traveled the country to campaign for congressional and gubernatorial candidates
            I think most Americans see enough of Bush in the news during his “vacations” to realize that a President never really goes on vacation. However, many Democrats still like to compare Bush to Clinton, who they say worked long hours and took few vacations.


            By the way Ford, you’re doing a good job as mod. Keep it up.
