George W Bush never left D.C. until the day after Christmas. Why?

Why George W. Bush Never Left D.C. Until the Day After Christmas

 

 

Like many Americans, U.S. presidents often take time off around the holidays.

However, according to journalist Joseph Curl, who previously covered the White House, former President George W. Bush went on Christmas vacation in a way that stands in direct contrast to President Barack Obama.

“[H]ere’s the thing: In December, we never left Washington, D.C., until the day after Christmas. Never. Mr. Bush and his wife, Laura, would always depart the White House a few days before the holiday and hunker down at Camp David, the presidential retreat in Maryland,” Curl wrote in a 2013 column that was republished Thursday.

After a few years, curiosity finally got to the former Washington Times reporter and he asked a low-level administration official why.

“I still remember what she said,” Curl wrote. “’So all of us can be with our families on Christmas.’”

“Who was ‘us’? Hundreds and hundreds of people, that’s who. Sure, the reporters who covered the president, but also dozens and dozens on his staff, 100 Secret Service agents, maybe more, and all of those city cops required whenever the president’s on the move in D.C.,” Curl added in his column.

However, things seemingly changed when Obama took office.

“[T]his president would never delay his trip to his island getaway. He’s off every year well before Christmas. Hundreds and hundreds head off with him, leaving family behind,” Curl wrote.

“No Christmas at home,” he added. “Instead, the Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort. Nice, but not exactly home.”

Bush may be the most worthless piece of shiite to ever step foot in D.C. but this was a class move.

Yeah, it says that in the story I linked.

 

Do you know what/where Camp David is? Apparently not.

I know it's not in DC. :dunno:

It's close enough that any staff member can easily commute home.

 

I think this thread qualifies as 'putting lipstick on a pig'. RP is still schlurping the Bushtard's schlong after all these years.

If you had any, this would have been the sum total of your participation in this thread. :thumbsup:

Two hours later you post the exact same "zinger."

I've never claimed to be classy. I'm fully aware that white-trashiness flows through these veins. Even when I make an effort to conceal my white-trashiness, it exudes out of my pores and I don't fool anybody except myself.

The whining started in the article.

Apperently you don't know what exact means. Must be the Philthy education.

You came back 2 hours later and posted a slightly different version? That's even lamer. :lol:

It's a shame they have to suffer so much. Maybe the U.S.O. could put on a show for them...

I don't know why anyone would want to go to Hawaii in December anymore now that Don Ho is dead especially now that the lava stopped flowing.

That's fantastic. Unless you work at the White House, or guard the WH, or work at Camp David, or...

 

 

And, I bet these people would have traded one Christmas day per year for the 1,000+ vacation days Bush took during his time in orifice.

Should he be around for Christmas day? Probably.

Being in Hawaii for Christmas >>>>>>>>>> Being in Iraq or Afghanistan

Looks like Creeper Phaggot posted this for a sissy slap fight and not to discuss the article.

last thing I heard about the Secret Service, is they really enjoyed their overseas visits. Especially the part about hiring hookers and getting blitzed.

 

beats small dog with aunt Edna anyday.

Class move. :thumbsup:

 

Wish he'd have tried to do the same for the military troops.

More troops died in Afganistan and Iraq under Obama than under Bush and Obama lost both wars.

Bush lost them both when he started them in the first place.

Lol. This thread didn't go the way RP had hoped.

 

sure it did...he got plenty of attention from you all.

That old "there is no bad publicity" idea...does not matter to him that he looks foolish...only that people reply to him over and over and over giving him that attention.

I had no "hopes" for it, Nubby.

 

It did go exactly as I expected. A bunch of tards ignoring the substance of the OP, and instead whining like school girls about Iraq because of their hard-on for Bush.

 

A few adults found the story interesting, as I did. The rest of you did what you tards do.

I heard that, on his way home from the meeting where he decided to gas 6 million Jews, Hitler held a door open for an old lady. So that makes him a good guy, right? :doh:
