Fahrenheit 9\11 Page #2
for the traditional walk
to the White House was scrapped;
Bush's limo hit the gas
to prevent an even larger riot.
No President had ever witnessed such a thing
on his inauguration day.
And for the next eight months
it didn't get any better for George W. Bush.
He couldn't get his judges appointed;
he had trouble getting his legislation passed;
and he lost Republican control of the Senate.
His approval ratings in the polls began to sink.
He was already beginning to look
like a lame duck President.
With everything going wrong
he did what any of us would do --
he went on vacation.
In his first eight months in office
before September 11th,
George W. Bush was on vacation,
according to the Washington Post,
forty-two percent of the time.
I hit every shot good;
people would say I wasn't working.
It was not surprising
that Mr. Bush needed some time off.
Being President is hard work.
Many folks say you're loafing here in Texas,
that you're taking too long of a vacation.
They don't understand the definition of work.
I'm getting a lot done.
Secondly, you don't have to be
in Washington to work.
It's amazing what can happen with telephones,
faxes, and...
What are you doing the rest of the day?
Uh, Karen Hughes is comin' over,
we're workin' on some things.
And uh, she'll be over here,
we're workin' on these things.
These matters.
I'm workin' on some initiatives.
We're uh...
you'll see.
There'll be some decisions
and we'll be announcing them as time goes on.
The first I met him he had
some good advice for me.
Governor Bush, it's Michael Moore.
Behave yourself will ya;
go find real work.
And work was something he knew a lot about.
Anyone want some grits?
Relaxing at Camp David.
Yachting off Kennebunkport.
Or being a cowboy on the ranch in Texas.
I love the nature;
I love getting in the pickup
truck with my dogs.
George Bush spent the rest of August
at the ranch where life was less complicated.
I love to dig the soil looking for bugs
and uh, so um, I went out there the other day
and there was Barny buried in this hole
chasing an armadillo.
It was a summer to remember.
And when it was over,
he left Texas for his second favorite place.
On September 10,
he joined his brother in Florida
where they looked at files
and met important Floridians.
He went to sleep that night
in a bed made with fine French linens.
You suppose he's pretty confident
on those numbers on Iraqi security forces?
Make me look young.
Yeah, I got a little bit of sort of ear noise.
Don't turn it up too much,
don't want it to blow my head off.
