In Obama's first year, he took vacations that totalled 26 days.

In Reagan's first year, he took 42.

George W. Bush took all or part of 69 days in his first year.

Bush Sr. came in at 40 days (mostly in Kennebunkport ME)

Carter took 19 days in 1977.

Clinton took 21 days in his first year.

None of those numbers include Camp David (because the person collecting the data didn't consider those 'true' vacations) but the numbers for Camp David trips still hold the pattern (Obama 27 days in 2009, GWB 78 in 2003)
