Talk about sacrifice! Bush gave up golf for the troops.

From Huffington Post....Bush gave up golf in 2003 to show respect for U.S. soldiers killed in the war.

If Bush wanted to show respect for the soldiers, why didn`t he give up lying about the war?

1. Bush gave up golf in 2003...

It just sucks the very breath from me to even try to comprehend this level of sacrifice! I need to sit down.

2. Oh, the poor thing!

Should we start collecting donations for him? Maybe that's what we're punching the admins for.

3. Didn't he give up sweets, too?

according to this 2003 article. I guess giving up candy bars made a big difference to the war effort, hunh.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2003-04-01-bush-cover_x.htm

"...People who know Bush well say the strain of war is palpable. He rarely jokes with staffers these days and occasionally startles them with sarcastic putdowns. He's being hard on himself; he gave up sweets just before the war began. ..."

4. This is why George is a joke.

And an embarrassment to all Americans, if only he would give up the presidency.

6. Seems America is full of people like that. I believe they all are making

money off of us and call it a gas price at the pump. They truly are happy with the way things are going.
