Just got love that Bummer!!!.
I have to take issue with the number of vacations. I seem to remember him taking at least three (Yellow Stone, Cape Cod and Hawaii) and may a few others in addition to that. This guy took more time off and played more golf than any President I can remember. All while the economy was in the toilet and we're fighting two wars.
What a guy!
