Where is the comparison chart of Obama vacations vs. Bush Vacations? Would be nice to see frequency, cost to taxpayer associated, and “type” of vacation - I know that GW often went to his ranch in Texas (much to the chagrin of the press corps) - and while there often did actual WORK - like clearing brush and such.
I would also like to see how many vacations the rest of his family/household took (without him) vs. the Bush White House. Moochelle taking their girls and dozens of their closest friends on taxpayer-funded junkets...
I’ve thought about that as well. I don’t recall President and Mrs. Bush go on any vacations except to Camp David or Crawford. The LSM always made a big deal about him going to Crawford, yet, it didn’t cost extra for houses/hotels for them or the SS agents or WH staff. IIRC they had rooms for SS and I believe he built a building for meetings and press briefings. I also don’t recall him taking a huge fleet of autos with him wherever he went.
