Crawford-Bound Bush Slams Congressional Vacation

ABC News' Jennifer Parker Reports: With both the House and Senate in recess, President George W. Bush slammed the Democratic-led body Tuesday, saying Congress should get back to work.

"They need to get off their vacation," said Bush during a press conference about Congress' efforts to attach conditions for a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq to a war spending bill.

...

"The Democrats in Congress … have left Washington for spring recess without finishing the work," said Bush. "They need to come off their vacation, get a bill to my desk, and if it's got strings and mandates and withdrawals and pork, I'll veto it and then we can get down to business of getting this thing done," he said.

...

"We acted quicker than the Republican Congress has ever acted on a supplemental request on Iraq," said Drew Hammill, spokesperson for Speaker Pelosi, arguing that the Democratic leadership is continuing to work on the supplemental through the Easter recess.

Hammill also said it was ironic that Bush criticized the congressional Easter break only days before taking an Easter vacation of his own.

3. What's that, Get off their vacation when YOU have taken more

vacation days than any other president in history. Bush is just jealous that some people actually work and like it, who actually strive to try and broker peace instead of his staged slogan one man shows. Oh Chimpy, you're so not cute when you're angry and can't get your way.

4. The vacation king challenging the peasants

Really kinda silly george, The Speaker of the House has put a spending bill on your desk.

bush should read the polls and find out where his people are going so he can "lead" them there.

And a republican bad mouthing pork, now that george is as good a comedian as limbaugh.

5. That is why Republicans are angry.....

...the Democrats are acting TOO QUICKLY..... ( and they have only been in office 3 months).

Remember the Republican strategy on EVERY issue is:

1. "Run out the clock."

2. "Gum it to death". :thumbsdown:

6. He's only making noises to impress his remaining 30% of believers.

He doesn't care what the other 70% think. He'll say or do anything he needs to to keep those last few fanatics on board.

7. Bush: "They need to come off their vacation..."

This coming from the pResident who was on vacation most of the time in the months prior to 9/11, while the terrorists were planning the worst attack ever on American soil.

Practice what you preach, buddy. The hypocrisy continues.

Some of us will not ever forget the LOUSY job performance we've seen from Bush as pResident. But, that's typical for him: a failure at EVERYTHING he's ever done.

I'd almost bet the Twins were fathered by another man: I doubt Bush's sperm would know where to go once set free.

9. He must have balls the size of a Volkswagen.

For him of all people to criticize anybody over vacations is unbelievable.

10. No, they are small, but are made of brass.

[K8-EEE]

12. Dems either "have no plan" or "micromanage" OH BROTHER

Anything other than a continuing no-questions-asked blank check to Shrubby and his cronies every time he asks for it is one of those two things, apparently.

It's not his money, it's ours, he'll have to deal with our reps....
