What’s the difference between “vacation days” and “golf days”?

Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010
Bertrand Encourages Thought asked:


because I hear a lot of people making the inference that Obama is a lazy president because he’s already taken more “golf days” than Bush did in his 8 years in office. However, George W. Bush took 977 vacation days, out of 2,923 days in office, roughly 33% of his entire presidency.

How can you expect me to take your criticisms seriously when you don’t blast Bush for spending about 33% of his presidency away on vacation? And even if you did, how can you even make the claims knowing this? And how can you make this in comparison to Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush spent more time on “vacation” during their first year than President Obama did? This looks like a fantastic double-standard.
@Chin: Lol good one

Should we encourage the “vacation president” Bush to play more golf to give him less time to screw up America?
