While Iraq Burns and People Die, Bush Rides His Bikes

The violence in Iraq is getting worse. While the shootings and bombings have increased in Iraq, President Bush has been riding his bicycles. According to Yahoo News, Bush has been using his mountain bikes to keep himself busy. Bush has received bikes as gifts from manufacturers and some have the Presidential seal on them.

Every single time I read about Bush and his bikes, I am reminded of a bit that Jim Ward does on the Stephanie Miller Show. Ward imitates Bush's voice and an old fashioned bike bell is heard in the background.

Has President Bush just given up on Iraq? Is he waiting for his father and Jim Baker to rescue him from the mess in Iraq? There just seems to be too much playtime in this president's schedule.
