The comparison would be funny.....if it weren't so pathetic.

Are you serious? Where was Obama when our soil was attacked in Benghazi? Where was Obama when the Boston Bombings took place?

Harrier is pleased that President Obama is on vacation.

If he truly is using it for solely leisure time, he can't do any damage to the republic.

Too bad Congress can't do the same more often.

Actually, 320 is smaller, because the first number is smaller! See how that works? (Agreeing with you.)

Presidents in the modern era do NOT get vacations. It doesn't matter where they are, what they are doing. They are ALWAYS available when required. In the White House or not. Anywhere not in the White House is just a change of scenery. The only time recently a President has NOT been available was when Reagan was shot. And Al Haig announced that he was in the White House and in charge. That did not go over well.

Rather than question what the media calls a vacation, the press should be asking where Obama was the overnight of September 11, 2012, when four Americans were slain in Benghazi.

So, what are the statistics on rounds of golf played by Bush and Obama.

I personally don't care what the real numbers are for either of them, I don't believe for a minute that either of them gets or got any real vacation time whether it's on a ranch in TX or getting ice cream with their daughters. To me being followed around by SS and the press 24/7 doesn't sound like much of a vacation and neither of them ever escaped the stress of being POTUS for one minute while in office.

Then why were you posting that W was working and why are you bitching about it?

At least Obama spends his time at The White House, where he is available to meet with other government officals, etc.

Meanwhile Bush hid out on his private property 1500 miles away from Washington DC.

Bush was able to avoid dealing with the news media and any government officials wanting to meet with him.

Let's face it ... he was "on vacation".

His Crawford time was his to use any way he wanted. Nobody to bother him. He was on his own private property.

And he had no reason to work if he didn't feel like it.

He could fish at his personal 11 acre lake that he had built at Crawford, and stocked with more than 600 fish.

He could swim in the pool he had built there.

He could go mountain biking at his ranch, which was so big you could fit 10 Disneylands inside the property lines!

He could do all of these fun things while he was sending thousands of soldiers to fight in the wars he started!

So in total, Bush spent 490 days at Crawford, and another 487 at Camp David according to the below website:

Bush Spent 487 Days At Camp David, 490 Days At Texas Ranch During

Someone previously posted a list of around 15 foreign leaders that visited Crawford. Big deal!

So what did Bush do during the other 475 days?

You show one single photo of Bush conducting a meeting in Crawford, and according to you, that should fully explain Bush's entire 490 days at Crawford?
