487 days at Camp David
490 days at Crawford Ranch
43 days at Kennebunkport Compound

Total: 1020 days, more than 1/3rd of his presidency. Bush set the record for most vacation time taken by president.

Carter took 79 days in 4 years.

Reagan took 335 days in 8 years.
Bush Sr. took 543 days in 4 years!

So much for the mythological Republican hard worth ethic.

The Out-of-Towner: While Bush vacationed, 9/11 warnings went unheard

George W. Bush is the vacation king of all presidents. He spent 2.8 years on vacation.

So when he went home just as you do from work you said he was on vacation. Are you on vacation then when you go home?

healthmyths what's your relation to the Bush family? You must know them somehow. You have spent YEARS trying to rewrite the history of Bush II's time as potus.

So....cousin? In-law? Grandkids? Jenna, is that you?

No I'm just an HONEST person who KNOWS History which evidently the majority of people like YOU and definitely the MSM doesn't know.
The following FACTS are telling me that people like you and the MSM have extremely short memories!

I'm just saying, Bush hasn't been president for nine years, so maybe it's time to give it up huh?

 

[Reasonable]

Even when the orange cheeto isn't vacationing on weekends he's watching TV all day. As told by one of his staff.
When he's not watching tv he's doing the work of the people... like yesterday.
Monster truck Trump.
What a waste of human flesh!

There is no time limit on honest assessment and within 20 years the presidential assessments of GWB will be he was a "GREAT President" who endured more
cataclysmic events that no other President in history to date!
No president endured 3 physical attacks on the USA. No president faced as severe weather conditions. No president EVER had the loss of nearly $10 Trillion in values
due to markets and destructions of assets. No president ever faced the withdrawal in 2 hours of nearly 1/2 TRILLION dollars thus precipitating a potential economic collapse.
And in spite of that GWB GDP was greater then Obama's! GDP's budget had nearly $800 billion due to TARP and Obama? He had it paid back plus interest and Obama still dwarfed GWB's budget deficits IN spite of GWB starting a brand new cabinet position DHS. I know having expertise in Medicare the long term impact of the 2003 Medicare Modernization Act that drastically reduced nearly 500 distinct government contracts to now less then a dozen for Medicare. Thus saving Medicare billions!
So you asked a question. I overwhelm you with FACTS and responses. You give up? Admit GWB was a great president? Or are you going to be one of those
really ignorant UNINFORMED dummies that believed EVERYTHING the MSM put out and because you are afraid of being called a racist defend Obama?
Sad how ignorance perpetuates myths!

Everyone seems to think all "presidential vacations" are equal and how often have we heard "yea but Bush has taken a lot more vacations then Obama"!!!

But the following FACTS show that Bush spent MORE of his "vacation" days at his HOME or parents home... NOT some expensive hotel etc.
spending millions of tax payers dollars!

"It should be noted that no sitting modern president, including President Roosevelt, can ever take “a vacation.” Simply being away from the White House does not constitute a vacation. "
Obama's Vacations? Of Any President, Bush Racked Up the Most | Politic365

What is the MAJOR,MAJOR difference though between Bush's vacations and Obama?
Taxpayers pay for MOST of Obama's vacation visits to Ca.,FL. Ireland, Africa, Hawaii,Martha's vineyard,Aspen,et.al. and how many times has Obama been to his home in Chicago?

He will likely miss the place: According to CBS News White House Correspondent Mark Knoller, today's trip marks Mr. Bush's 149th visit to the presidential retreat.
The planned three-day stay, during which the president is being joined by family and former and current aides, will bring his total time spent at Camp David to all or part of 487 days.

Yes, that's 487 days. And Camp David is not even where the president has spent the most time when not at the White House: Knoller reports that Mr. Bush has made 77 visits to his ranch in Crawford during his presidency, and spent all or part of 490 days there. 26 at Kennebunkport, Maine.

Obama has made 33 visits to the official Camp David presidential retreat in Maryland, totaling all or part of 84 days.

487 Days At Camp David For Bush - CBS News

So between the Crawford,Texas HOME that GWB owns and Kennebunkport HOME that his Father owns, Bush spent 516 days of the "vacation" days
ON he and his family's OWNED property... NONE of which required hotel deposits, hotel payments for the Bush Family!
Remember these VACATION DAYS were to their homes!

OBAMA???
Obama begins a nine-day vacation on Martha’s Vineyard, Mass., where he spent summer vacation in each of the first three years of his presidency.
He skipped his annual Vineyard vacation during last year’s re-election campaign. (Remember.. getting re-elected more important then being President!!!)

It's just Obama goes to places that COST TAXPAYERS... Bush went to his home or his Dad's home at NO hotel/lodging,food,entertainment cost to the tax payers!

How Many Taxpayer Dollars Obama's Have Spent On Vacations | The Federalist Papers

Just traveling back and forth to Crawford, Bush cost us about $55 million.

As always, your hypocrisy is noted and laughed at.

A) Do you consider when you leave your work place that you are going on vacation when you go HOME?
B) GWB was going home. Not a vacation spot such as Obama did. He was working from home. Not golfing on courses that banned others from playing as Obama did!

I don't care if it's for work or vacation, it still cost us some $55 million so he could travel to Crawford. You realize he could have just stayed in D.C. and saved us $55 million, right?

Oh, wait.... but you were whining about Obama costing us too much money, not Bush. Sorry to disrupt your ODS logorrhea.

Critics of Obama’s annual vacations to Hawaii and Martha’s Vineyard say President George W. Bush – and perhaps Trump – likely saved money because their vacation homes, including Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas, were modified one time – some at a cost to taxpayers – and accommodated some of the traveling entourage. At Bush’s ranch, some slept in trailers.

Nothing in there indicates the $55 million Bush cost us to travel back and forth to Crawford so many times saved us any money.

And while you busy whining about Obama taking vacations, which all presidents do; you ignore how much money Bush wasted so he could work in Texas instead of D.C.
