Remember this time in 2001. Bush was already on his 9th vacation...
Ignoring intelligence memos that were hand delivered to him. About this time in 2001 President Bush was paying somebody to deliver brush to his ranch in Crawford so that he could clear it. Now that he is no longer president, he has no use for being a "rancher". How truly pathetic can a man be? But then again for President Bush, his whole life is a vacation. Nice to see President Obama working hard everyday.

1. Was he really on his 9th within 100 days?
or are you counting weekends? I'm not arguing with the rest of the merits - he was a shitbag for certain. But did he really take 9 full fledged vacays by then?

4. It was tongue and cheek
Just my way of saying he did very little by this time in 2001. I don't know how many vacations he actually took. Just a little sarcasm.

6. Sorry I missed that...
But it is really sad considering the previous pResident spend 1/3 of his time in office on vacation.

30% -- I may have to do the math... you might actually be right after averaging things out... :D

7. Yes it is truly sad
Bush took being President for granted. Just like he took everything else in his life for granted. Any now a great many of us are paying for it.

5. The fact that we have to even wonder is bad enough, he was a mentally lazy person
