Being he has taken us to war on lies and deceit, the dollar is hitting a all time low, oil was $28 dollars a barrow when he took office and now it is almost $100 a barrow, coinciding the damage he does while he is not vacation, maybe we should be gratefully for his lackadaisical behavior forwards the best interest of the American people and encourage him to go on vacation permanently. This is what you get when you elect a trust fund frat boy from Texas.

More than any other President. I will try to find out the exact number of days.
I could only find information as of 03 and that was 4 yrs. ago, so imagine what it is now. Look at his daddy's vacation record! Holy cow.
President Jimmy Carter (D) Georgia:
79 Days (over 1 term - 4 years)
President Ronald Reagan (R) California:
335 days (over 2 terms - 8 years)
President George H. W. Bush (R) Texas:
543 days (over 1 term - 4 years)
President William J. Clinton (D) Arkansas:
152 days (over 2 terms - 8 years)
President George W. Bush (R) Texas:
250 days (as of Aug. '03, less than one term!)

OFF HAND IM NOT SURE HOW MANY DAYS GEORGE BUSH HAS TAKEN OFF AS PRESIDENT. IT SHOULDNT BE VERY DIFFICULT TO CALCULATE. HERES HOW. START WITH DAY HE WAS FIRST SWORN IN AND THEN SUBTRACT THE NUMBER OF DAYS TO TODAYS DATE. THIS SHOULD GIVE YOU THE EXACT NUMBER OF DAYS HE HAS BEEN ON VACATION SINCE HE BECAME PRESIDENT. BOB

OOOO i know this one... lol...

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."
Bush isn't the first president to get away from his work. George Bush Sr. took all or part of 543 vacation days at Camp David and in Kennebunkport. Ronald Reagan spent 335 days at or en route to his Santa Barbara, California, ranch during his eight years in office. Of recent presidents, Jimmy Carter took the least days off -- only 79 days, which he usually spent at his home in Georgia. That's less than three weeks a year, which is closer to the average American's paid time off of 13 days per year.
What about Clinton? As of December 1999, President Bill Clinton had spent only 152 days on holiday during his two terms, according to CBS News. A former staffer noted Clinton was such a workaholic that "it almost killed Clinton to take one-week vacations during August." In 2000, Clinton cut his summer vacation short to just three days, so he and his wife could concentrate on her Senate race and fundraising for Democrats. While we couldn't find the exact tally for Clinton's last year in office, it's reasonable to expect he didn't increase his vacation rate. And in barely three years in office, George W. Bush has already taken more vacation than Clinton did in seven years.
GOT THAT OFF SOME WEBSITE!!! LOL
EDIT: 370 days total
