Now that George W. Bush has left the White House for good, it is safe to reveal that he didn't actually spend a lot of time there.
As reported by various sources, including AFP, NPR, CNN and NBC, President Bush had one day of holiday for every three days at his desk. Indeed, he was on vacation a jaw-dropping 77 times during his eight-year presidency, frittering away almost two years playing golf or clearing brush on his ranch.
By way of comparison, the previous vacation record was held by Ronald Reagan, who had 436 days off when he should have been leading the free world. The final figure for "Bush 43" was 490.
Given that most workers in the United States only get about two weeks' leave a year, is it any surprise that few people are sad to see Dubya go?
