During his eight-year presidency, Bush did take 879 days of vacation, including 77 trips to his Texas ranch. So far, Obama has taken about 150 days off

“Presidents don’t get vacations — they just get a change of scenery,” Nancy Reagan once said in defense of her husband’s frequent trips to his ranch in Santa Barbara, Calif.
In the nuclear age, presidents may have only minutes to make a decision that could affect the entire world. They don’t so much leave the White House as they take a miniature version of it with them wherever they go. Some 200 people accompany a president on vacation — including White House aides, Secret Service agents, military advisers, and experts in communications and transportation — to ensure that, while on vacation, the president can do nearly everything he could accomplish in Washington.

Please stop with this nonsense…if you factor all the trips to the golf course and flying around for the fund raisers would equal Bush going to the ranch.

It's widely known among people who are not partisan hacks that trips to Bush's ranch were often no vacation at all. He frequently had his advisors there, and often met with and negotiated with powerful foreign leaders in Crawford....some of whom wouldn't dare speak to Obama: LINK
Crawford was actually where Blair and Bush first discussed an Iraqi regime change in person. A lot of diplomatic summits were held there because Bush felt like it was a more relaxed and personal setting.
Prairie Chapel ranch is actually pretty important part of American history because of the fact that so many dignitaries and world leaders met there at a private residence.
