Moore also made up his own headline, and is being sued by the newspaper he used in his movie...

Using Moore's math, Clinton took 60% vacation.

Was Moore lying? Well ask yourself this. Do you ask your employer for vacation or take vacation for Saturdays and Sunday's off? I don't know anybody that does. How much time do holidays and weekends take up in a year? 52 weeks X 2 + 10 Federal Holidays/365 days..answer 31%. That means that most people get 31% of the year off in "vacation", without actually taking a day of vacation.

it ia a 24/7 job. I have read some of your posts and I thought at times you were being objective. The 40% vacation thing is ridiculous. Presidents, no matter who they are, never get vacations. They may call it that, but their schedules are full of briefings daily and their critical staff is always with them. That goes for Clinton, Bush, Lincoln, Taft...any President. Unless you heard about a Vice President assuming the office or President, they were on duty.
