Bush shows fishing skills for TV show
 
CRAWFORD, Texas (AP) - The Iraq crisis forced President Bush to skip a
fishing outing for a television show Saturday, but he caught a big
bass for the camera the previous afternoon.
``He took the biggest one of the day,'' a bass that weighed nearly
four pounds, said Roland Martin, host of the Outdoor Life Network's
``Fishing With Roland Martin.''
Bush, who is spending a week at his ranch, had planned to fish
Saturday with his father for Martin's show. He stopped by Friday to
chat as the crew was filming at the ranch pond and said he had time to
``make a couple casts," Martin said. They ended up fishing for about 1
1/2 hours.
When Martin returned to the ranch around 6:30 a.m. Saturday, Bush was
already in conferences in the ranch house. ``He said, `Hey, Roland,
sorry it didn't work out,' '' Martin recalled. ``He said, `I've been
busy, all these crises.' ''
The White House is sensitive to charges Bush is loafing at a time of
chaos in Iraq. It released a photo of Bush meeting with his national
security team Saturday, but it did not release its photos of Bush
fishing with the television crew.
The show will air in August, Martin said.

On Saturday, Bush and his father were to go fishing at the ranch's
bass
pond with a crew from the Outdoor Life Network's "Fishing with Roland
Martin."
The White House approached the network about coming to film Bush, who
is
eager to cultivate an image as a sportsman with the millions of voters
who
hunt and fish. The crew was to bring its own boat for the shoot on the
small pond.

Chissa' cosa ha fatto, di bello, il nostro PdC ad Arcore, questo
Week-end?

 Week-end?
Dicono che Bush sia uno dei presidenti che lavorano di meno del dopoguerra,
condividerebbe il primato con Ragan che perň era molto piů anziano.
Un bell'esempio per i tanti americani che lavorano 12 ore al giorno solo per
sbarcare il lunario e pagare l'affitto.

 Week-end?
Ci sono stati dei soldati italiani morti?  I PdC devono vedere il futuro
e organizzare le loro giornate sulla base delle visioni del futuro? :)
E' questo che stai dicendo caro Torrieri? :)
*LOL*

Bush's Texas-Sized Summer Vacation (And Your Rhode Island-Sized One)
By Tamara Straus, AlterNet
 August 14, 2001
George W. Bush may present himself as a down-home American, but when
it comes to vacation time his tastes are decidedly European. This
August the President is on leave from Washington for the whole month,
in what will be the longest presidential vacation in 32 years. Combine
that time off with the quarter of his presidency he has spent on his
Crawford, Texas ranch and the 38 full or partial days at the Camp
David retreat, and Mr. Bush will have spent 42 percent of his
presidency at vacation spots or en route.
You might think this information comes from the National Democratic
Committee or some lefty think tank out to undermine the presidency,
but the number crunching was actually performed by the Washington
Post. In an August 8 story the Post was less than subtle in indicating
that Bush's 31-day break, or "working vacation" as it is being
described, is resulting in an unusual form of damage control.
Why, you might ask? Hasn't every president spent significant time at a
home away from the less-than-cozy White House compound? Didn't Reagan
head out for Santa Barbara, Truman to Key West and Eisenhower to
Augusta for some needed presidential R&R?
Sure. But no president in history has managed to build such a solid
reputation as an entitled loafer. Bush's typical gubernatorial day in
Texas reportedly consisted of no more than eight hours of work, an
hour of which was dedicated to the treadmill and two hours of which he
spent in photo ops.
Now the President is said to be working much harder, though the
awkward ramblings of his aides might make you think otherwise. At a
briefing on August 7, Scott McClellan, one of Bush's spokesmen, told
the press: "The President, much like members of Congress - although
for a shorter period of time, I might add - believes it's important to
come back home. That's why we're spending the month in Crawford - this
is his home."
McClellan then underscored that Bush's aim in August is not to jog
four hours a day through his dusty 1,583-acre ranch, but to flee the
dreaded elitism of Washington. For seven of his 31 working days, said
McClellan, he will conduct a "Home to the Heartland Tour," to listen
"to the concerns of the people across America," so as "to highlight
the values that bring America together."
"I hope he has a long, enjoyable vacation," said Terry McAuliffe,
chairman of the Democratic National Committee on Fox News Sunday.
"He's going to need it when he gets back."
Mr. Bush may well be rejuvenated when he flies back to D.C on
September 3. But the majority of his fellow Americans will not. Once
again, the U.S. has taken the lead as the most overworked nation in
the world. According to a recent International Labor Organization
study, the U.S. is beating out Japan with the highest average hours
worked per annum - just under 2,000 hours.
Pensi che le cose sono cambiate dopo il 11/9?  No.

 Pensi che le cose sono cambiate dopo il 11/9?  No.
E perche' dovrebbero? :)  Mi meraviglierei se il presidente restasse
fisso a Washington 365 giorni l'anno :)

Restare a Camp David non è proprio una vacanza completa, visto che è 
praticamente la Casa Bianca 2.
In ogni caso, mi sembra che non sei molto esperto di politica. Se il 
presidente si mostrasse preoccupato, ciò si rifletterebbe sulla nazione, 
  cosi come se si mostra tranquillo e rilassato. Difficile da percepire?
Ciao

 In ogni caso, mi sembra che non sei molto esperto di politica
pattum...ROTFL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
