I *rarely* get political, but in the time the president has been in office, nearly 20% of it has been spent on vacation; Bush is currently spending five weeks off-site, resting at the Crawford, Texas ranch. According to the Washington Post, it's the longest presidential retreat in at least 36 years.

The article also sites that, in the weeks leading up to September 11th, Bush spent a month in Crawford. The same time terrorist messages were starting to stir.

1,187 days left until the 2008 US election.
