Is it true Bush has taken a 5 week Holiday?

Fucking Bastard is like Louis XVI. Though he'll claim it's a "working vacation."
This makes me think that Bush is irrelevant. Other people are running the show. He's just a symbolic figurehead.

he spends most of his time on his ranch doesnt he?

Isn't the country full of so many problems and with so much power in his hands shouldn't Bush be under a sense of obligation and duty to do something with that power to help people?
I
don't like the system of government in the U.S. but Bush should be doing his duty under this system to help people. But he is not.

I've heard he's already spent like a year of his presidency in texas so far.

Here you're assuming Bush gives a shit about the people. Bad assumption.

Yes Bush sucks ass and he spends WAY to much time on vacation. And yes it is evident that others are running the country:
Cheney, Rove, Ashcroft, Rice, and others along with all the large corporations.

Deleted. (please don't say things like that!)

I couldnt care less if he is on his ranch or in some getto alley sniffing cocaine. Its not like he would do so much better if he actually was at his work :unsure:

[Reds]

He ain,t the one running things anyway.

[Paradox]

Like fernando said, WHO THE HELL CARES!?! It's not like he's gonna do anything to benefit us. So why even give a shit. All it tells us is that he's more retarded than the average shit politician.

And as far as problems in the nation, the only ones he's gonna bring up have to do with "national security" and "fighting terrorism," so it's not like he'd be working to help poor neighborhoods if he were in D.C..

A YEAR!? Judas Friggen Priest!
