Or do they just expect him to fly commercial air when he leaves the nation's capital?

2. Did they ever comment on W's many weekend trips to the ranch?

The pig farm was a lot further than NYC. Afterall, W spent 1/3 of his pResidency on vacation because pResidentin' was hard work.

6. Well, that's the whole point.

Shrub was SAVING so much money by flying out to Texas and pretty much staying there for his whole two terms, thus meeting Republican expectations - cutting government spending and governing as little as possible.

8. Bush spent 2.79 years on vacation while president

and still managed to increase government spending and government power far more than any president in history.

4. It is not about that. It is simply about finding something they can

attack him for, if not this it would be about the color tie he is wearing. All their usual methods of attacks have failed and they are just striking wildly hoping something sticks or the tiny cuts will eventually make a dent.

7. They don't care what he does as long as they can scream outrage over it

It's quite liberating to know this fact, because then no one needs to worry about what they'll think since it's already pre-digested rage projectile vomiting anyway.
