If he doesn't like it there, why did he take the job..................... Bush league: The president is out
The president is keeping his campaign promise to remain a Washington outsider, at least on the weekends. Out of his 24 weeks in office, Bush has visited his ranch in Crawford, Texas, six times, and has spent 12 weekends at Camp David, with only two of them devoted to meeting foreign leaders.
And Bush's need for rest and relaxation seems to have increased dramatically in recent weeks. Since the beginning of June, Bush has spent every weekend out of town. He did work on Saturday in Poland during his mid-month journey to Europe, but spent two weekends in Crawford, two at Camp David and last weekend at a Bush family gathering in Kennebunkport, Maine. Two of his weekends have started on Thursdays, and he hasn't been at the White House after five on Friday in that same six-week period. |
