Obama vacation....
Bush vacation....
This is hilarious. The fact that it's transparent makes it even more hilarious.
1. Bush has no history of which I'm aware of physical labor. Certainly, he never had to do it for money. So, I doubt he has much, if any, experience when it comes to feeling a sense of satisfaction from completing a strenuous task involving physical labor which some people come to appreciate because they HAVE to do jobs like this themselves simply because they can't afford to pay someone else. Wealthy people, on the other hand, tend to get their physical workouts from sports or going to a gymnasium much like Bush was once a runner and later enjoyed bike riding.
2. Bush's ranch was NOT a working ranch. There were no animals. So, doing work like this wasn't required.
3. The ranch was bought right before the election (so it wasn't a labor of love like Reagan's ranch was with him where I think Reagan actually installed his own fence posts), and I believe it's subseqently been sold. Or at least I heard it had been. So, I don't see where this could be considered any attempt to clear the land for some kind of future use.
4. Who's the guy with the camera. Doesn't it seem odd to you that there would be some guy there with a camera when Bush is just looking to escape the rigors of politics in general, and Washington DC in particular, and just kick back on his ranch to have a little time to be a regular guy?
Or could it be that this was little more than a photo op in order to MAKE look like a regular American doing yard work of some kind?
You see, I don't think Bush EVER does any physical work if he doesn't have to do it for a reason like polishing his image. Do you know what makes me say that? A few years ago, I saw Bush at a photo op for some rebuilding project (like Habitat for Humanity although it may have been something else). He had a hammer in his hand so the photographer could capture him pounding nails. Now, driving nails is something that you have to learn. You can't just pick up a carpenter's hammer or a framing hammer one day and drive nails like a pro. But many if not most men have done some work like that at some point in their lives, even if it was only when they were young like in HS or college. Here's the thing. Once you learn it, you don't forget because it's what's known as muscle memory. You might have to take a few swings to get the feel back, but you won't be going back to square one anymore than you would be if you got on a bicycle for the first time in 20 years. Well, Bush was holding the hammer half way up the handle and was swinging it like a girl trying to put in a nail to hang a picture. He quite obviously never spent any time in his entire life on the working end of a hammer. That tells me that Bush wouldn't EVER clear land of brush, even if it was his own land, if he could pay someone else to do it so he could spend his time on something else he would prefer to do, regardless of whether it was going to a ball game, watching a ball game on TV, or riding his bike.
In other words, Bush was clearing land for one reason. It was so that picture could be taken. And MY guess is that as soon as the picture was taken, if there was nobody else around to see, Bush was back in the ranch to change out of those clothes a couple of minutes after it was confirmed that they had the shots they needed.
Or should I believe that Bush was just out relaxing on vacation clearing his land and some guy just happened to show up with a camera?
One thing you can say at this point is at least Obama never foists phony crap like this on the American people.
Found my way out of the wilderness hehehehe.
