What was Bush doing on Sept. 11th?

telling people to go shopping...what a large green #######!

Are we still at war? You mean the congress hasn't cut off the funding? They tried to do that every 3 months when Bush was President. What happened?

The day the war started, a protest started at the top of Church St. in Downtown Burlington. Every day for all those years Bush was in office, there were protesters there everyday. EVERY day, mind you. All with their signs and chants, etc. Now they are gone...I thought they won and the war was over. What happened?

despite the fact that all wars are started by democrats and republicans do the same bidding (Republicans small government? ROFLOL) Dems and repubs are the same. No one had caught on yet? It's not like they're really two different parties....they collude in private all the time; the biggest fleecing people are oblivious to.

Ask yourself why Obama is continuing Bush's policies (just talking differently) but look at the record...he's a bush

While the troop are fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq McCain was having banquet parties.

Crazy, looking for a handful of terrorist and blowing up an entire country, then trying to rebuild it. Afghanistan doesn't have an infrastructure, never did with talk about building one with more talk about educating an entire country with our way of thinking. Generals like to think in terms of war with large armies, but for both Iraq and Afghanistan, they don't even know who their enemy is, no different than Viet Nam, that was another hell hole. And we had to follow the rules of engagement, the enemy didn't, that's not fair.

We have more generals today than we had during WW II, job security relies on us having a war. Have to realize our objectives, killing terrorists, can be done with a handful of guys just for the money involved, and dressed like the enemy, not targets like our troops. Both my brother and I developed a strong hate for government contractors, no risk, and big fat paychecks, hell, when we got out, joined them for some of that gravy, but only for a couple of years, gave us the cash we needed to get started in life. Felt we were both far more conscientious because we know what our troops are going through. We been there and have done that, but most of them didn't go through that, a bunch of rich kid spoiled brats, just like the leaders of our country.

Yep.. The left complained about Bush going to Camp David all the time, but Obama gets a pass for "fighting" and failing to get the Olympics for Chicago while troops are dying. Meanwhile when the troops are dying in Afghanistan the President decides what the best political strategy will help him in the PR department.

And while troops have been dying, you've been taking a dump, shopping, eating dinner....

Afghanistan isn't the only thing the President has to think about, you know.

yeah, that war for oil takes precedence!

What was Bush doing on Sept. 11th?

There is no comparison between these two situations, 9-11 was a surprise, I don't expect Obama to live his life on hold waiting for the unknown.... I do expect him to address Afghanistan before flying off to plead for his Olympic dreams.

And he never left the White House for a moment for the next 7 1/2 years? He was always there at the helm during every day of both wars he started? Every time someone was killed he was sitting there at attention? You post a load of #######.

Agreed. Outrage over Obama taking his wife out for dinner on their anniversary? That's not just ridiculous, it's pathetic.

After experiencing the worst attack on American soil since Pearl Harbor and with two wars running in it's aftermath, with close to 5,000 American service men and women killed in these wars, Bush still managed to upset Reagan's vacation record taking more than 2.5 years away from the White House during his 8 year term. Where was the right wing outrage brigade then?

Pointing fingers? McCain gave up on being a Senator already?

Danno, I sure hope you are getting paid for all the Obama bashing propagandist bullsh!t you post.

if you were getting paid for your anti GOP bullsh!t you'd be retired 10 fold by now.

This isn't about W, it's about Obama.
