George Walker Bush spent 487 days at Camp David, the presidential retreat, during his two terms as president. George Walker Bush also spent 490 days at his ranch in Crawford. That totals to 977 days away from the White House. It is 2.67 years of an 8 year term away from "the office".

How about we talk about the cost of the vacations. GW used to travel to his own private residence or an existing government facility to unwind. Obama spends our money to stay in $5 thousand dollar a night resorts while utilizing 2 separate jets; and he and his wife arrive only a couple of hours apart. I don't think there's been any president who's lavished anywhere near as much of our money on himself and his family as this one in 2 1/2 years. Prove me wrong, I dare ya.
