Obama’s vacation ripped, but he’s taken less time off than Bush - Chicago Sun-Times

Obama’s vacation ripped, but he’s taken less time off than Bush - Chicago Sun-Times: Obama’s upcoming vacation is his ninth vacation since taking office. Obama has spent all or part of 38 days on vacation away from the White House. He has also made 14 visits to Camp David spanning all or part of 32 days, for a total of 70 days, Knoller said.

Bush, at this point in his first term, had made 14 visits to his Texas ranch spanning all or part of 102 days, Knoller said. He also made 40 visits to Camp David spanning all or part of 123 days. His vacation total at this point in his presidency was all or part of 225 days away.

White House press secretary Jay Carney doesn’t think the public begrudges the president a break to recharge and spend time with his family.
