Campaigning During War...
I was watching the news this morning while getting ready for work...
Saw that there had been additional deaths in Iraq of our soldiers. We use to only lose about 1 a day, now it seems that that number has increased. The story that followed directly after the soldier's deaths was a piece on Bush campaigning in some state today.

Is it just me, or does this seem completely wrong?! Isn't he responsible for sending our soldiers into harms way??? Shouldn't he be at the helm, standing watch? Instead he is out campaigning. Is anyone else bothered by this?

1. Hell, its nothing new for him
He hasn't done anything since being in office, except take more vacation time than any president to date, and spend much of his time campaigning and fundraising.

Yet somehow people are suprised at how 9/11 could have happened on his "Watch"
