In his first year of office, GWB took more vacation than any president ever had taken over 4 years. Remember that month of August when he returned to be steeped in 9/11??

Anyway, he took real vacations -- I saw the interviews and videos of him working around the ranch during the August 01 vacation. I mean, of course the President still has daily duties while on vacation, but so do we all. I mean, compared to his normally rigorous schedule, a few hours a day dedicated to work really IS a vacation.
