Sspad, be fair, these are WORKING vacations. The President just went on a huge fundraising trip to California. It may not have anything to do with the economy or the war or... well... really anything except raising a grotesque amount of money from various corporate schill 'pioneers' in a Karl Rove strtegy based on Pyramid Schemes, but hey, you can't say it ain't work!

Besides, being Preident pay less than any Job W's ever been given before. Why should he have to work hard?

Oh, EDIT: I just thought of some folks who probably really sympathize with Bush, because they have to work 24-7 too. National Guardsmen and Reservists currently on indeffinite deployment. The fact that they don't get vacation at all shouldn't bother them, they knew what they were getting into whn they signed up, unlike George who had every right to expect the Presidency of the worlds only superpower would be cakewalk. Say, I know what would cheer our weary servicemen up! Reducing their endangerment pay!
