Obama vs Bush Vacation Score This point in Presidency - 70 Days to 225 Days
Advertisements [?]
So Faux, CNN, RNC, TeaBaggers, Beck, Limbaugh and all you other f'in bloviators STFU! At this point Bush had told the 8/6 PDB briefer "Ok you covered you ass". And he continued to take these vacations after 9-11, the war in Afghanistan and on his way to the Iraq debacle!

This is Mr. Obama's 9th vacation since taking office. As of today, he has spent all or part of 38 days on "vacation" away from the White House. He has also made 14 visits to Camp David spanning all or part of 32 days. It brings his total time away to all or part of 70 days.

It's less than the "vacation" time taken during the same period by his immediate predecessor. (Former President George W. Bush gets the quotation marks too.)

As of this point in his 1st term, Mr. Bush had made 14 visits to his Texas ranch spanning all or part of 102 days. He also made 40 visits to Camp David spanning all or part of 123 days. His "vacation" total at this point in his presidency was all or part of 225 days away.
