Yeah, I do agree that the message being sent is extremley bad. A 5 week vacation outta nowhere... However as posted above it is obvius that the president cannot just go hide in a corner for 5 weeks. He will be fufilling his duities using the latest and greates technologies paid for by us. Sides, the man tricked us again, he deserves to live out his lame duck status :rolleyes2

Bush is no longer in direct control of the Iraq skirmish is he? I thought it was like any skirmish over 180 days would be classified as a war and the presidents commander in cheif status would be given to congress? I never really heard much on the political runnings of the Iraq war/skirmish. If anyone can clear that up for me it would be appreicated.
