Quote: the G-man said: By that logic, Lincoln, Wilson, FDR, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon and any other president who served during a war (and all of whom took vacations while in office) was a dictator who sent his people to die.
by the above definition, yes they were. But, how many vacations did FDR/Truman take during WWII? I bet they spent a hell of a lot less time "on the ranch" then Bush has. And Kennedy never had a war.
Bay of Pigs, anyone? Good thing only Republicans support the idea of meddling with other nations' governments!
Clinton was out and about during the operations in Iraq and in the former Yugoslavia.
Though I'm rather puzzled that you put going on vacation during a war right up there with decades of pillaging from your own citizens, causing your country to be placed under a suffocating embargo, or triggering two wars that laid waste to your homeland.
