From the president who has taken more paid vacations than any other president in US history,
After all these years maintaining a privileged life Bush finally makes a personal sacrifice for his country.
"WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush said on Tuesday he quit playing golf in 2003 out of respect for the families of Americans killed in the war in Iraq.

You're obviously unaware that the President while "on vacation" is still performing the duties of his office. |

| Well, the cost of the wars + future medical costs are estimated at about 30grand per family. So, I figure most Americans have done their part. |

Like attending a briefing and reading the report on the imminent threat to the US that was 9/11? Oh wait, he didn't do that, because he was on vacation.
Defending George on this one just makes you seem the partisan jackass. |

| CentralCali is correct. Presidents -- unpopular or not -- are on the job 24/7. Communications, briefings, politics, and elections. These things never stop. |

Just for future notice, what criteria do you use to determine which conspiracy theories are asinine? Much thanks. |
