Well Give That Man A Pretzel!

Let's see ... four states ravaged by natural disasters, nearly 100 more troops killed in Iraq and skyrocketing gas prices ... All this and FINALLY the President decides to cut his month long vacation short - 3 days short. Wow! What sacrifice!

President Bush will cut short his vacation to return to Washington on Wednesday, two days earlier than planned, to help monitor federal efforts to assist victims of Hurricane Katrina, the White House said Tuesday.

'We have got a lot of work to do,' Bush said, referring to the damage wrought by the hurricane along Gulf Coast areas.

The president had been scheduled to return to the nation's capital on Friday, after spending more than four weeks operating from his ranch in Central Texas. But after receiving a briefing early Tuesday on the devastation Katrina unleashed, the president decided that he needed to be in Washington to personally oversee the federal effort, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.

He cut his vacation by two days? That's good. I didn't think he would cut his vacation at all. And why does he need to take 4 week vacations anyway? Especially when everything is so jacked up overseas? And you see how he's ignoring that dead soldier's mother who is camped out at his ranch, talking all that trash. He'd better cut his vacation short. His approval numbers were about to slip another notch.
