This president is so freakin’ lucky — first, he gets to take a 5-week vacation. Then, just when people are getting sick of his marathon vacations and his ratings are plummeting, a hurricane comes along and gives him the perfect cover story for cutting his vacation short, making him appear to be compassionate…
of course, he’s only cutting his 35-day vacation short by two days, but hey — like everything else he carefully parses, the claim of a shortened vacation is technically true.
What he thinks he’s going to do 4 days after the hurricane hit is beyond me. I guess he’ll make stern faces and invoke God and basically make a lot of statements like “This morning our hearts and prayers are with our fellow citizens along the Gulf Coast who have suffered so much from Hurricane Katrina.”
Plus he was just dying for an excuse to get away from Cindy Sheehan.
