When will someone in the MSM, or even the alternative media, start to compare the number of days Obama has been out of the WH to the number of days Bush was out of the WH.

Rembember all the consternation about Bush’s time at his Texas home “on vacation”?

I personally always thought that the President spending time at a residence is not really a vacation. I work from home. I’m quite sure the President can too.

However, I do think that spending time doing tourist-y things or playing golf IS vacation.

Someone needs to look it up and broadcast it one of these days.

It's not as if nobody had adequate warning of this. He did the same in the US Senate.

But the MSM did this! About a month ago, when Obama was vacationing in Maine, the MSM did a full tally. Ready?

Bush -- first 18 months in office -- 92 days vacation.
Obama -- first 18 months in office -- 33 days vacation.

I don't believe it for a second. But that's what they're trying to make us believe.

See, this guy thinks that campaigning is real work...he is not into leading...he is exactly what was billed, a glib street corner barker hawking whatever the locals want to hear.

Frankly, I am happy when he is on vacation because I don’t have to see his puss, generally, on the TV as he bobs and weaves his commentary to his adoring crowd.

You are right! Pres. Bush stayed at his ranch which he had built and paid for himself. It had all the equipment of the Oval Office, so he was working while there. In addition, his ranch was built to make use of every possible energy savings, so he even had a very low energy footprint while at his ranch.
