The troops who were injured would rather he gave up some government money to fix the disgraceful conditions in VA hospitals.

“I don’t want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf,” he said. “I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.”
Bush said he made that decision after the August 2003 bombing of the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad, which killed Sergio Vieira de Mello, the top U.N. official in Iraq and the organization’s high commissioner for human rights.
“I remember when de Mello, who was at the U.N., got killed in Baghdad as a result of these murderers taking this good man’s life,” he said. “I was playing golf — I think I was in central Texas — and they pulled me off the golf course and I said, ‘It’s just not worth it anymore to do.’”
#26, I’m glad to see that Dumbya is paying attention to what Michael Moore has to say, and is acting accordingly. He seems to have begun to see the light with respect to global warming, although it’s a little late in his reign for that.
>>#26, I’m glad to see tha….
Woops, I meant #29.
maybe next he could give up anal sex in the whitehouse
#32: He’d have a difficult time with that… he’s been doing it to the American public via his “leadership” for, what, almost eight years now?
I think Bush should play more golf. I personally would love for him to be completely preoccupied with getting past the windmill hole for the rest of the year.
#17, actually, they are both pretty childish.
>>actually, they are both pretty childish.
More likely, the “Dumbya” moniker is pretty accurate. Or would you say that Bush is of above-average intelligence compared to the other 42 presidents we’ve had?
#37, probably not any less intelligent than your Andrew Jackson types, and probably as stubborn too.
#18 – You know what they say about assuming? Sticks and stones, sticks and stones.
They say “Sticks and stones, sticks and stones” about assuming? I’ve never heard it that way.
# 5 stopher. has it completely right.
Reading over the comments, the compelling theme is people here don’t like is a looser.
Even if this war is totally unjust or bogus; had is ended quickly and “successfully”, the majority here who didn’t sacrifice any more then Bush did, wouldn’t give a turd how deadly or unjust this war was. It didn’t cost them a dime.
It’s sad, but really true; Bush may have ignited the fuse but Americans being lame authoritarian sycophants, allowed the War on Terror to be miss-used, miss-applied and continue into a 2nd presidential term.
Yeah, the same way the war protests just aren’t as big as they were during Vietnam, or that back then they dried up once the draft was eliminated.
You must admit the man? is all heart.
