Indeed, if the "CEO of the USA" who is currently enjoying a five-week sojourn at his ranch in Texas keeps vacationing at the same rate, he will have spent the better part of two years of his presidency away from work.
Pretty meaningless. Presidential vacations aren't really vacations, at least most of them are not. Instead the president is working from a location other than the white house. Just possibly he works a few less hours on the average day in Crawford than in DC, but there is no way to know this for sure, and he still probably works more hours than the average American.
We have seen evidence that Bush doesn't work much at the WH. With every disaster or near disaster, invariably he's been somewhere else......bike riding, strumming a guitar, bike riding again, swimming, on his treadmill, etc. Coincidence you say........I doubt it. And given the nature of Crawford, I would expect he works even less there.
A further expression of his lack of commitment to his work is the quality of the work itself. On almost every front, the performance of his administration has been subpar and the US faces a number of serious problems that did not exist before he became president.
Frankly, I think impeachment is too good for him.
