I saw this passage quoted in Dan Froomkin's White House Blog this morning:
Mark Knoller of CBS News tallies Bush's final numbers:
"U.S. Military Deaths In Iraq: 4,228.
"U.S. Military Deaths In Afghanistan: 634.
"Number Of Visits To Camp David: 149, totaling all or part of 487 days.
"Number Of Visits To His Texas Ranch: 77, totaling all or part of 490 days.
"Number Of Visits To His Parents' Home In Kennebunkport, Maine: 11, totaling all or part of 43 days."
And yes, that totals 1,020 days -- or just over 34 percent of his 2,992-day presidency. Ronald Reagan, the previously most-vacationing president ever, clocked a mere 866 days during his two terms.

Man. He took more vacation days than I did as a graduate student. And I am one LAZY graduate student! Thanks for the posts TC. I'm always happy when there's a new one.
