The French not involved in the tourist industry take the whole month of August off. How will the President become more "Euro" if he doesn't learn first hand from their customs.;)

FOUR WEEKS TOGETHER...GET REAL! Demolibs? You can work as much as you want. I have nothing against more time off, but this is ridiculous. The workers should get more time yes, but BUSH? A MONTH? His brain must be overtaxed... naaaaaaaah....doesn't have one.

For Immediate Release:
Executive Order Grants 5 Months
Vacation to Every American
Bush shocked to learn that most Americans
work all year long
Crawford,
Texas --
Before
getting
down to
the
business of
enjoying
his month-long vacation President Bush has
announced a new Executive Order granting 5
months vacation per year for all legally employed
Americans. The order also include a provision
requiring the employers provide work site gyms and
midday workout breaks for all workers.
Speaking to reporters, Bush explained how he
came to make the decision: "When Vice President
Cheney appraised me on the working habits of
Americans, I said 'Whoa there! These people are
working ALL YEAR LONG??? That's crazy!' It is
crazy, and now I'm bringing a stop to it."
In his first six months in the White House the
President has already taken four weeks vacation
and believes the time off was essential to his
excellent job performance so far.
After his August vacation, the President plans to
take another three weeks in Maine to enjoy the
autumn leaves, and a long break from Thanksgiving
to New Years in Miami with his brother Jeb.
"The Presidency is definitely the toughest job
I've ever had. The experience has forced me to
realize that most Americans must be extremely over
worked. Personally, I don't know why America
hasn't done this a long time ago."

The latest ploy by Big Business is to offer universal days ... a combination of sick days and vacation days. If you have a gallbladder attack, you can kiss your vacation plans good-bye for that year. Luckily our union local has a contract with separate wording covering vacation time and time off when one gets sick. Many nonunion workers, however, will be forced into universal days ... whether they like it or not.
