No school because of Bush Fundraiser

As if we need further evidence that the president is truly misguided, I "read(Boston.com: Visit by Bush to snarl roads, spur protests)":http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2004/03/25/visit_by_bush_to_snarl_roads_spur_protests?mode=PF that today Mr. Bush has come to Boston for a fundraiser, forcing the "Secret Service":http://www.secretservice.gov to shut down several city streets. As Mr. Bush collects checks at $2000 a head, for one hour of work, a K-8 public school was forced on 1-day notice to cancel classes today because they "could not guarantee timely pick-up of students at dismissal time." This seems shameful for the "No-child-left-behind" President, who is himself the son of the so-called "education" President... But, maybe I should look at this from the point of view of the students -- they got a day off from school. Are the Republicans are trying to ingratiate themselves to our little ones, by cancelling school for a day?

” K-8 public school was forced on 1-day notice to cancel classes today”

I am sure that no other President in the HISTORY of America has ever done that.

“As Mr. Bush collects checks at $2000 a head, for one hour of work”

Again no other President has every collected so much money in so little time.

Wow together that must equal some kind of record.

No wonder you hate him…..

Didn’t Clinton shut down an airport so he could get a haircut?
