WaPo: Bush Has Spent 42% of Presidency on Vacation

HeadlineAug 07, 2001

The Washington Post has done some analysis. It says on the front page today, “By the time President Bush returns to Washington on Labor Day after the longest presidential vacation in 32 years, he will have spent all or part of 54 days since the inauguration at his … ranch. That’s almost a quarter of his presidency. Throw in four days last month at his parents’ seaside estate in Kennebunkport, Maine, and 38 full or partial days at the presidential retreat at Camp David, and Bush will have spent 42 percent of his presidency at vacation spots or en route.”
