Bush took 250 days off up to August 2003. That's 27% of his presidency to that point.
To date Bush has spent all or part of about 500 days at or en route from/to Kennebunkport, Camp David or Crawford. That comes to 40% of his time as president.
Clinton, for contrast, was a workaholic and took 152 days off up to December of 99 (which was his entire 8 years)

And what does this matter? Are you saying he'd do a better job by being in Washington more? Is he not working while he's on vacation? Is being a workaholic an admirable trait?
This seems to be yet another instance of SAP. Stupid Ass Politics. It has nothing to do with anything but it's something that might rile people, at least those who don't bother to think about whether this makes one iota of a difference.
