I wonder how many other people on vacation still have to be on call at a moments notice, still have to receive foreign leaders, still have to be briefed daily,etc. I don't exactly call what President Bush does a vacation. He was just away from D.C. It doesn't mean he got to get away from the stresses of being the leader of the free world.

Not to mention it make it a whole lot easier for a whole lot of the REST of the Federal government (most notably the Secret Service and White House staff) to take their own vacations in August -- while the President is out of town.
