"Bush soaks in Europe like only a president can (AP)"

[wildflower]

I saw that headline on Yahoo and couldn't believe it.

Link, if anyone is interested, to the article all about his "super-glam European tour":
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080615/ap_on_go_pr_wh/bush_europe

I just had to paste in this part:

<And there's another benefit of traveling as president. Bush doesn't have to deal with the weak U.S. dollar that makes travel abroad so expensive for average Americans.

When on business, Bush has little need to spend his own money except when buying gifts.>

2. He also doesn't have to deal with drowning Iowans

[jgraz]

3. Well, we now know it's not just black people he doesn't care about.

He's a sociopath, but at least he's not a racist sociopath.

14. A well traveled sociopath now- thanks to our tax $$$$$$$$ n/t

5. I hope the Europeans feel good and soaked..

.. enough to get rid of those neofascist leaders
who cotton to Bush.

I've never been so disgusted with Europe in my life.

7. He's a walking plague.

No wonder I've had to take Nexium....he makes me sick.

8. So happy he's have a good time while middle America drowns

and many Americans are wondering whether to buy gas or food.

[MasonJar]

9. He knows that come January 2009 that he will not be welcome through

the servants' entrance anywhere in the world, especially Europe. He also loves to travel the world now that the American people are footing the bill.

10. I know I for one am glad the clown and first lady clown are exhilerated and well-fed. nt

11. Our little humungous sponge, he is. A sponge that never really ABSORBS anything.

Not that he's any different on this side of the Atlantic, of course.

16. Sponge-George Stinkypants

[Metta]

12. More blatant ass kissing from a corporate thug.

just saying.

13. Has Bush ever paid his own way his entire miserable life?

Poppy's money sent him to prep schools. Popppy's friends' money paid for his failed business ventures. The people of Arlington furnished the land for the Texas Rangers so Bush could build his fortune. The taxpayers of Texas paid for all his expenses while he was Governor. The people of America pay for Bush's SUV called Air Force One and all his other heavy expenses. And the people will continue paying for Bush until the end of his days.

[Ghost Dog]

15. Bullshit. He never exits his bubble. n/t.
