George W. Bush was fond, especially when stumped or confused, of saying "It's hard work."
Barack Obama, on the other hand, has been hard at work.
I can't seem to find this figure anywhere, but since everyone is tallying the results of Obama's first 100 days in office, I wonder how his vacation days stack up compared to Dubya? I seem to recall that Bush took something like 40 days of vacation in his first 3 months in office.
Frankly, I'm relieved that he's now on permanent vacation. It suits him well.
