What a set of balls this asshat has. Seriously, for a man who has spent less time actually working than any other president in recent memory, he's got very little room to talk.
"Congress returns from its two-week Thanksgiving break today," the president said at a Rose Garden appearance. "They have just two weeks to go before they leave town again. That's not really a lot of time to squeeze in nearly a year’s worth of unfinished business."
Mr. Bush chided Democrats for trying to impose conditions on a $50 billion emergency financing bill for the Iraq war, and asserted that many critics of his policy have conceded that this year's increase in American troop strength has produced good results. "It is time for members of Congress to meet their responsibility to our men and women in uniform, and they should stay in session until they pass these emergency funds for our troops."
Even the Pentagon says that there is funding in place until sometime next winter... so the "emergency" is as fake as the one that got Congress to pass those shitty surveillance laws last summer. More bluster, less and less substance every time he opens his yap.
And if it's all about the money for the troops, well then start economizing by taking money from the contractor budgets that has already been appropriated and give it to the troops. Or is that too simple?
Oh, and if I were a Congressional Staffer or oppo-research person, I'd be looking up exactly how many days Beloved Leader has been "on vacation" or out fundraising while in office and publicizing that number. Neither of those two items, vacation or fundraising are in his job description as Fearless Leader, but they are as All-American Jackass #1.
