Ha! I gotta find ...
He has played only seven known games of basketball since taking office, compared with 25 rounds of golf, a sport he picked up about a decade ago when he was an Illinois state senator. That's more golf than former President George W. Bush played in two terms, according to CBS White House correspondent Mark Knoller, who tracks presidential trivia.
Total: 1020 days, more than 1/3rd of his presidency. Bush set the record for most vacation time taken by president.
Carter [Democrat] took 79 days in 4 years.
Clinton [Democrat] took 152 days in 8 years.
Reagan [Republican] took 335 days in 8 years.
Bush Sr. [Republican] took 543 days in 4 years!
So much for the mythological Republican hard worth ethic...
Of course, there isn't any such "mythological Republican hard worth ethic"...and President Obama has not lost any work time to date from choking on pretzels!
