President 'Vacation' Bush Criticizes Congress for Taking Time Off
By Sheila Samples
Bush's dig at Congress for being on vacation is ironic, as he rivals Ronald Reagan for the title of "presidential vacation-time record holder." Some highlights of Bush's time away from the office: - Attended 95 sports-related events. - Made 74 trips to his Crawford ranch, for a total of 466 days. - Made 142 trips to Camp David, for a total of 450 days. - Attended 327 fundraising events for Republican candidates.
