Bush accepted pay while AWOL

[ecstatic]

Isn't this a federal offense of some kind? To accept the money of hardworking taxpayers when he's already rich and not even doing the job he's assigned to do?

McClellan said the payroll records were proof of Bush's service.

"There is still no evidence that George W. Bush showed up for duty as ordered while in Alabama." ...an evaluation report from superiors in Texas said Bush had not been "observed" from April 1972 to May 1973.

Washington Post columnist Richard Cohen, writing of his own Guard service, said: "For two years or so, I played a perfectly legal form of hooky. To show you what a mess the Guard was at the time, I even got paid for all the meetings I missed."

"Isn't this a federal offense of some kind? To accept the money of hardworking taxpayers when he's already rich and not even doing the job he's assigned to do?"

I think so. Isn't that what he is doing now? He seems to be trying to do everything except what a President is supposed to do,which is act in the best interet of the nation and abide by the Constitution while doing it.
