"Record Breaker! Bush Takes Most Vacation Days For Sitting President"
President G.W. Bush recently spent his 879th day at his ranch in Crawford

The Vacation President
According to the meticulous records kept by CBS Radio White House correspondent Mark Knoller, Bush on Monday lodged his 879th day spent in whole or in part at Camp David or his sprawling estate in Crawford, Tex.
By comparison, the 40th president only -- only! -- spent all or part of 866 days at Camp David or his ranch in California during his eight years in office, according to the Reagan Library. (By my count, Bush actually beat Reagan's mark on Dec. 30, during his Christmas vacation in Crawford.)

Q: Has President Obama taken more vacation time than his predecessors?
A: According to one count, Presidents Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush spent more time on "vacation" during their first year than President Obama did. Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton spent less time on "vacation."

So Obama is looking at 439.5 days for his 4 years.
What is the record for vacationing during Muslim holidays?

I just laugh at how pathetically uninformed you are.Glad I could educate you.

It’s worth mentioning that President Obama has also made 11 trips — all or part of 27 days — to Camp David, the presidential retreat in Frederick County, Md. Knoller, however, says he doesn’t count trips to Camp David as part of any presidents’ "vacation" time. But no matter how much time a president actually spends away from the official residence at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., Knoller says that the commander in chief is never really off the clock. "I have long held the view that a US president is never really on vacation," Knoller told FactCheck.org in an e-mail. "The job - and its awesome powers and responsibilities - is his wherever he is and whatever he’s doing."

OK if we count trips to camp david as vacation days add 478 to GW's vacation days totals to make it 1,357 vacation days for him while in office.Do you really want to continue this line of argument or are you done making a fool of yourself?
487 Days At Camp David For Bush

i can't believe that obama has just sat back and let the entire Gulf of Mexico get potentially ruined. This could take decades to repair, if it can be.

Because Bush took more vacation days or because Obama hasn't done anything to help Louisiana in the 37 days and counting?

I read the other day that the volcano in Iceland (or where ever it is) spewed more CO2 into the atmosphere, then all of the "green technology" advances have eliminated in the past 10 years. And that was just in like the first week it started erupting.

I have a feeling this gulf of mexico disaster is going to be the legacy for his presidency. not only the disaster itself, but the aftermath, the incredible cost, and his total lack of response. I don't think he's even gone down there to see it first hand has he?
