Nobody is saying other Presidents didn’t take vacation. But Bush easily eclipsed the previous record for vacation days which was set by Reagan.

487 days spent at Camp David plus another 490 days spent at his Crawford “ranch.”

365 x 8 = 2,920
487 + 490 = 977
977/2920 = 33.4%

One in every 3 days as President spent at either Camp David or Crawford? Pretty fucking solid.

I see. So if Obama eclipses that, does that mean he “worked less” than Bush or any other President that took “vacations” Do you think when a senator or someone on the Presidents staff e-mails the Pres while on “vacation” they get an OUT OF OFFICE FOR TWO WEEKS reply, or when they call they get a message saying ‘The President is currently on vacation. Please leave a message and he will get back to you in two weeks, or if this is an emergency please dial 911”?
