As of the writing of this post, there has been no official statement from the White House regarding the 241 tornadoes that destroyed dozens of towns across the United States over the past three days. North Carolina Democratic Governor Bev Purdue did issue a statement on Sunday saying that she had spoken to Obama about the damages to her state. While the North Carolina governor and others make tours of the wreckage, Obama chose to hit the golf course. According to White House Press Secretary Jay Carney, the president has no plans to visit any of the destroyed areas. Around 7pm on Sunday, Mark Knoller of CBS News tweeted out that he and the rest of the White House press corp just spent fours hours with the president on the golf course at Joint Base Andrews Naval Air Facility. Keith Koffler of the White House Dossier writes: This is the forecast for Washington, DC this afternoon. Plentiful sunshine. High 64F. Winds WSW at 15 to 25 mph. And this is the forecast for President Obama this afternoon: Golf He’s got the usual crew in tow, including Energy Department staffer David Katz and White House trip director Marvin Nicholson. Marvin’s brother Walter also got an invite.

Remember the media crucifying Bush for going back to CRAWFORD and clearing BRUSH 'while there's a war on...' The media makes me sick.
Has Boy Jorge sold Camp Photo-Op yet? When was the last time he went there and pretended to be Reagan for the press? Boy Jorge cleared brush like the First Wookie planted and tended a garden. They would both pretend to be working while a camera was there,and then turn it over to the Secret Service to do the actual work once the photos were taken.
That reminds me how they tried to loosen up Nixon's image and told him to go walk on the beach near his Cali home. He did so, wearing expensive leather shoes in the surf. They should leash and monitor some of these folks when the are sent out to the real world to protect them from themselves. I know from this image that Bush does sweat. But only if he ever has to rough it outside an air conditioned room.
They do. All of them have keepers. I know from this image that Bush does sweat. Withdrawal?

The 1,600 acres on which the "ranch" sits was purchased in 1999 for an undisclosed price, but it was a helluva lot less than the current real estate agents' appraisal of $1.2 million. Yep, worth $1.2 million, but G.W. has a sweet deal at the tax appraiser's office, where the property is valued at about $988,000. Oh, and that "homey ole ranch house?" It's actually a 10,000-square-foot single level mansion/compound that won't even be 2 years old until this November! The compound features a swimming pool for daughters Jenna and Barbara, who apparently loudly demanded it - the Bushes call it the girls' "Whining pool." Btw - we hear Bush got a sweet deal on the house construction, (the cost, of course remains undisclosed): the builders came from a religious community in El Mott, Texas. The original completion date of the house was November 7 - election day 2000. In other words, the curtain went up on the set on schedule for "show time." The very timing of this event indicates that Bush was absolutely confident that the election would be successfully engineered in his favor. The whole idea behind the ranch set, of course, was so that the public could be treated to footage of Bush seeking a quiet "retreat" at the family ranch. Americans would thus assume that the ranch was a rooted family homestead or compound like the one Kennedy's had in Martha's Vineyard or FDR had at Campobello. But when Bush retreated into his "homestead" in November, 2000, he was merely walking onto a prepared set upon which the paint had barely dried, let alone even the barest of roots put down! When we see photos of Bush bombing around the ranch in his leather jacket in his "ole pickup," supposedly knowing every tree and bush - it's all pure fantasy! If Bush knows every tree and bush after actually spending, all told, a total of about 2 months on the ranch (if you put the odd days end to end) since it was bought, then I''d like to know when he found time to hold all those endless Crawford press conferences! Seems to me he'd be way too busy introducing himself to trees and bushes. http://archive.democrats.com/view.cfm?id=6687 As usual, you are right bout the ranch, and badlie didn't even bother to Google to see he was on thin ice as far as reality goes.

Replies to Comment # 8. Have you seen all those article and pictures of Bush "at home on the ranch" in Crawford - the ones that imply that he is "just an ole ranch hand" more comfortable on the family homestead than in the "Big City," be it Austin or D.C.? Well, if you bought this image, you've been royally snuckered. The Bush family homestead in Crawford is nothing more than an elaborate set. The house, built in 2000, was designed to be ready for Bush to step into - like a set awaiting an actor - during the 2000 presidential election. Not only was the "ranch" created in 2000 - so, essentially, was the "town" of Crawford! Before then only about 400 people lived in the area. The Crawford Chamber of Commerce and Agriculture were formed shortly after the ranch was finished.
