Bush vacation time

[NewJeffCT]

Anybody have a log of how much vacation time Bush* has taken since he's been in office, and how much since he declared the end of combat operations?

Thanks

1. I heard he's been on vacation just over 40%

of the time.

2. so, in the past 6 months...

He has probably had about 75 vacation days? Is that accurate? And, he still hasn't found time to attend the funeral of an American soldier returning from Iraq?

3. don't know about a log ... but, does fund-raising count as "work"?

I don't think he works very much at all.

He rehearses stuff ...

4. The President

is never on vacation. Sorry, its just the fact of the matter. He is president 24/7/365 no matter where he is. Still gets the daily security briefing. Still conducts presidential "business". And all else that goes with being president.

The better question is, how much time does Bush spend away from the White House at his fun & games ranch in Texas.

6. The President is never on vacation. ~ But we were talking about Bush*

He is not my President and never will be.

5. Here is your answer

While the president of the United States is never completely on vacation, most commanders-in-chief manage to enjoy a respite from the daily grind during their stay the White House. George W. Bush seems to have taken this to the extreme early in his tenure as president. A humorous, fake resume for Bush suggests that he set the record for most days on vacation by any president in U.S. history -- a bit of an exaggeration, but still cause for some teasing.

According to an August 2003 article in the Washington Post, President Bush has spent all or part of 166 days during his presidency at his Crawford, Texas, ranch or en route. Add the time spent at or en route to the presidential retreat of Camp David and at the Bush family estate in Kennebunkport, Maine, and Bush has taken 250 days off as of August 2003. That's 27% of his presidency spent on vacation. Although to be fair, much of this time is classified as a "working vacation."

8. Pig farm is not protected as executive privelege spot.

I beleive any conversations he has there are not confidential as they are in Our WH. So if he and Condi are making out or cheney is smacking him around while there, that is not protected as it is in WH.
