So while the world burns, W fund raises


President Bush speaks at a fundraiser Thursday, Aug. 21,2003, at Univeristy of Portland's Chiles Center in Portland, Ore. (AP Photo/The Oregonian, Brent Wojahn)

You would think with everything falling apart all around him, W would have better things to do right now? He is a wartime pResident, after all?

1. That doesn't matter..
the main thing right now is to get Bush re-elected.

5. None of the others are the current POTUS
And just because they are campaigning, doesn't necessarily mean they aren't capable of governing at the same time.

If W wasn't so lazy otherwise, it wouldn't be an issue. The difference between W and most of the candidates that you mentioned, is that the only thing W does is fund raise and play cowboy.

9. Nero
Cicero was an intellectual, a classic author, oratorically gifted and I believe, put to death.

11. has anyone ever calculated . . .
the total number of Bush fund raising days plus the total number of vacation days plus weekends during Chimpie's term of office? . . . I'm wondering if we're even getting 50% of his time . . . not that it's a problem for me, mind you . . . the less time he's at work, the less damage he can do . . . but you'd think he could at least want to keep up appearances . . .
