It was just announced that they are moving all the people from the Superdome to the Astrodome.

This is going to be unbelievable.

Astrodome is a shit hole.

It is not, I have a business out at the Houston Rodeo every year, and the Astrodome is stilla good facility, and will be great for these poor people.

Give me a freakin break.

Id say the Superdome is a shit hole.

Those folks are much safer moving out of the Superdome & into the Astrodome located in Joel Osteen Texas...They have the advantage of being close to “Lakewood Church” Located at the former Compaq Center...

They may not be ready for catastrophes of this magnitude, but they are probably the most prepared organization there is....

they will probably put most of the people, especially those who are most in need, on the floor....the floor space there is huge. Its not just the football field...with all the benches and equipment gone, there will be thousands of square feet.

It's not really a vacation... just a different bed to sleep in. But they have a full digital underground bunker at his ranch. Mobile command center buried..

They also have 2 blackhawks hidden under 2 barn looking buildings.

And more toys...

I noticed you didn't go over, how wed like to check your vacation vs other dentist's vacation.

Who says he is "kicking back"

What do you want him to fuckin do??

Say

"Get them water"

Do you think he hasn't DONE THAT??

Use your fuckin head.

That was the quote from his press secretary, that he was "kicking back" at the ranch a few weeks ago.

BTW, when I am on vacation, I am not being paid by the tax payers....HUGE DIFFERENCE there, pal.

Hey, Bush ran for the job voluntarily - he fought for it - he knew what the job entailed - he should have known how stressful it would be (if for no other reason than the fact that he watched his father go through it) - so him taking so many extra vacation days doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. You act like someone forced him into it.

Perhaps the Secret Service doesn't mind having him in a somewhat isolated location away from a known target like the White House.

So the next time you volunteer for something, your willing to work their every day 10 hours a day, never take a day off??

He takes some extra days, WTF, why is that a problem........

Give me a fuckin break people.

So he knows the job is stressfull therefore, he cant compensate for it, nice spin there.....

No, he took the job of his own volition, he isn't "volunteering" - he's working on $400,000 tax payer dollars a year (which was $200,000 until the day Bush Jr stepped into office).

He takes some extra days, WTF, why is that a problem........
Well, we're in the middle of a war, I'd say EXTRA days are a problem.

But of course, I am an evil conservative, what would I know.

Look it up.

Our economy is bad, we are at war, we are now more in debt than any time in the history of the world, and he has to take 1 day of vacation for every 4 days he works???

The estimated population of the United States is 297,039,770

The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$1.68 billion per day since September 30, 2004!

Getting back to the Astrodome...

I would advise Texans season-ticket holders not to park their cars at Reliant Stadium this year.

Let's just say that around 98% of the refugees coming in are decent law-abiding citizens.

I was at Reliant Stadium on Saturday to watch my son's HS team play against a Houston team. I got to watch instant replays, which is cool because you never get to see that in HS games. Also my son was on the big screen twice...that was fun.

It was awesome.

But, I did step in some human shit behind my car after the game...it was nasty. I think it must have been a homeless person or just some fan that really could not wait.

So watch your step at Reliant Stadium.

God damn super-patriot, you do this in every thread. You make it really hard to defend another Republican. Calmly say "So what?" Then point out the type of facilities Bush has at his ranch. He's not really "On vacation" in this day and age with so many means of technology and communication.

But the fact is that yes, technically he has taken more "vacation" days than any other president. But it's not like he leaves the office, shuts off his cell phone and catches a plane to Cancun. Besides, had he cut his vacation short the moment it was realized that Katrina would hit New Orleans, the left would have jumped on him for trying to play on people's emotions, or something predictable like that.

The Astrodome is heaven compared to living in sitting water with no bathrooms, AC, clean water, or a dry place to rest your head.

One man is going to pay 6 months rent for a family. alot of amazing things happening over here in H-Town

Thats great and good to hear, I am glad people do things like this its not easy being in a fuckin disaster as i remember being painfully worried about friends and family back in 2001 with the WTC attacks...but then i think also about some of those creeps out there price gouging Hotels and just those pricks that are going to exploit some of these people...fuckin assholes

You know, I almost wish people in neighboring states would be kind enough to take some people in for awhile. This shit is rough, and it is at times like this that it hurts to watch some people completely open their arms while others just turn their backs and ignore the situation.
It is because of people like them, that I still have faith in humanity.

I had to come to Houston on urgent business and all the hotels were booked where I`d normally stay (near the Galleria) so I`m at a Marriott off Fannin near Reliant Stadium and the Dome.

I hear the buses will start rolling in around 3:00 AM, so it`ll be interesting seeing the activity tomorrow morning.

God bless the suffering folks, our neighbors. In Houston I`ve spoken with several folks from New Orleans. What a damn shame. Pray and help, people!

I have offered my house to a small family who are friends of one of my golfing buddies, who lived in Biloxi. I am a little leary about having strangers here, but I am still doing it.

The mayor of Houston has said that hotels and people are giving rooms to the people from our neighboring state to the East. The kids are going to be able to go to the Houston schools until they get back home.

Texans are some of the most caring and hospitable people around, I have faith that these people will be alright.

Until now, probably no modern president was a more famous vacationer than Ronald Reagan, who loved spending time at his ranch in Santa Barbara, Calif. According to an Associated Press count, Reagan spent all or part of 335 days in Santa Barbara over his eight-year presidency -- a total that Bush will surpass this month in Crawford with 3 1/2 years left in his second term.

Besides, had he cut his vacation short the moment it was realized that Katrina would hit New Orleans, the left would have jumped on him for trying to play on people's emotions, or something predictable like that.

The Astrodome is heaven compared to living in sitting water with no bathrooms, AC, clean water, or a dry place to rest your head.

A Foofida classic :tu

now for Thomas Jefferson and James Polk's vacation days.

Jefferson went to Monticello to bang Sally Hemings, but in all fairness his estate was about 100 miles away from DC.

I don't know shit about James Polk. Sorry if that makes me less of an American.

The way there shouldn't have been so bad considering he knew how he was going to rid himself of his saddle-rub erection.

I bet the ride home was awfully rough. Ouch.

Vacationing Bush Poised to Set a Record
With Long Sojourn at Ranch, President on His Way to Surpassing Reagan's Total

By Jim VandeHei and Peter Baker
Washington Post Staff Writers
Wednesday, August 3, 2005; A04

WACO, Tex., Aug. 2 -- President Bush is getting the kind of break most Americans can only dream of -- nearly five weeks away from the office, loaded with vacation time.

The president departed Tuesday for his longest stretch yet away from the White House, arriving at his Crawford ranch in the evening for a stretch of clearing brush, visiting with family and friends, and tending to some outside-the-Beltway politics. By historical standards, it is the longest presidential retreat in at least 36 years.

The August getaway is Bush's 49th trip to his cherished ranch since taking office and the 319th day that Bush has spent, entirely or partially, in Crawford -- nearly 20 percent of his presidency to date, according to Mark Knoller, a CBS Radio reporter known for keeping better records of the president's travel than the White House itself. Weekends and holidays at Camp David or at his parents' compound in Kennebunkport, Maine, bump up the proportion of Bush's time away from Washington even further.

Bush's long vacations are more than a curiosity: They play into diametrically opposite arguments about this leadership style. To critics and late-night comics, they symbolize a lackadaisical approach to the world's most important day job, an impression bolstered by Bush's two-hour midday exercise sessions and his disinclination to work nights or weekends. The more vociferous among Bush's foes have noted that he spent a month at the ranch shortly before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, when critics assert he should have been more attentive to warning signs.

To Bush and his advisers, that criticism fundamentally misunderstands his Texas sojourns. Those who think he does not remain in command, aides say, do not understand the modern presidency or Bush's own work habits. At the ranch, White House officials say, Bush continues to receive daily national security briefings, sign documents, hold teleconferences with aides and military commanders, and even meet with foreign leaders. And from the president's point of view, the long Texas stints are the best way to clear his mind and reconnect with everyday America.

"I'm looking forward to getting down there and just kind of settling in," Bush told reporters from Texas newspapers during a roundtable interview at the White House on Monday. "I'll be doing a lot of work. On the other hand, I'll also be kind of making sure my Texas roots run deep."

"Spending time outside of Washington always gives the president a fresh perspective of what's on the minds of the American people," White House press secretary Scott McClellan told reporters Friday. "It's a time, really, for him to shed the coat and tie and meet with folks out in the heartland and hear what's on their minds."

Just as Bush has made these August trips a regular feature of his presidency, so, too, have Democrats made a tradition of needling him about them. This year, opposition politicians are tying his departure from Washington to the CIA leak case that has swept up his top adviser, Karl Rove.

"The White House stonewalling operation is moving to Crawford for the dog days of summer, but they can't hide from the legitimate questions dogging the president and his refusal to keep his promise and fire Karl Rove," said Josh Earnest, a spokesman for the Democratic National Committee.

Presidents have often sought refuge from the pressures of Washington and from life in the White House, which Harry S. Truman called the crown jewel of the American prison system. Richard M. Nixon favored Key Biscayne, Fla. Bush's father preferred Maine. Bill Clinton, lacking a home of his own, borrowed a house on Martha's Vineyard, except for two years when political adviser Dick Morris nudged him into going to Jackson, Wyo., before his reelection because it polled better.

Until now, probably no modern president was a more famous vacationer than Ronald Reagan, who loved spending time at his ranch in Santa Barbara, Calif. According to an Associated Press count, Reagan spent all or part of 335 days in Santa Barbara over his eight-year presidency -- a total that Bush will surpass this month in Crawford with 3 1/2 years left in his second term.

"The Oval Office is wherever the president of the United States is," said Kenneth M. Duberstein, who was Reagan's last White House chief of staff. "With the communications being what they are, the president can communicate instantly with whomever he wants anywhere in the world."

Bush will not return to the White House until after Labor Day, but his staff has peppered his schedule with events to dispel any impression that he is not on duty. He will visit at least seven states, mostly with quick day trips, including New Mexico, where he plans to sign energy legislation into law. He gets off to a quick start this week, with a speech Wednesday in nearby Grapevine, Tex., then he plays host to President Alvaro Uribe of Colombia at the ranch Thursday. His schedule is clear Friday through Sunday.

At some point, Bush told reporters Monday, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld will visit for consultations. "I have a busy couple of weeks down there," Bush said.

But he will make time for fun, or at least his idea of it. Bush rarely takes the type of vacation one would consider exotic -- or, to some, even appealing. His notion of relaxation is chopping cedar on his ranch or mountain biking through rough terrain, all in 100-degree-plus temperatures in dusty Texas where crickets are known to roast on the summer pavement. He seems to relish the idea of exposing aides and reporters to the hothouse environment.
"I just checked in with the house -- it's about 100 degrees," he told reporters Monday. "But no matter how hot it gets, I enjoy spending time in Texas."

Yes, he is really out and about with the masses. The masses are locked out and have no chance to talk to him. He is morte isolated at the ranch than he is in Washington. It might just be me, but when the country is not doing well, I just feel a whole lot better knowing that the man in charge is in the Oval Office a few steps away from Congress, who are in this with him.
