Meanwhie: "Is the President Taking Too Much Time Off? Our Experts Debate Whether Bush Is Spending Too Much Time on the Crawford Ranch Aug. 26, 2005 -- President Bush is on pace to spend more time on vacation than any other president in modern times. Today is the 342nd day he has spent at least some part of the day at his ranch, which means he's spent almost an entire year of his four and a half years in office at the ranch. That doesn't include time he's spent at his parents' place in Kennebunkport, Maine, or at Camp David.... Maddow: "The White House has gone to great lengths to make us all think that the Crawford ranch is a little White House, but it is really not. I mean, listen to the president himself talk about it. He says, 'I'm going fishing with my man, Barney. I'm taking a nap. I'm reading Elmore Leonard.' There are pictures of him fishing, clearing the brush and doing all this stuff. Meanwhile, the mothers of soldiers killed in Iraq are literally camped in a ditch outside his house waiting to meet with him, 68 soldiers died in Iraq since he has been there, the economy is in shambles, we have the biggest budget deficit, we have two wars going on … I find it embarrassing as an American."... abcnews.go.com ======== Is Bush STILL on vacation or is he still faking working while the decorators are at work on the West Wing.
