Wow, way to post an article from January 2010.

Newsflash... it's now September 2012.  Obama has golfed 4 times more in less than one full term as president than Bush did in all 8 years in office.  While Bush "vacationed" at Camp David and his own personal ranch (usually with several members of his staff whom he met with on a regular basis), Obama has gone and hobnobed with the elite 1% at a multimillion dollar estate in Martha's Vineyard during a recession for the past 3 years, only skipping out this year because of the incredibly bad optics during an election year.

(that compared first years of those presidents. Yeah, that's right. Bush had 71 days in his first year.)

I'm not going to address the rest of the spin you just wrote, since saying "golfed 4 times more", while still way way under the number of days taken by Bush ( 81% under), is probably the most openly desperate accusation, and I just can't take it seriously enough.

while im not going to argue that bush didnt vacation very often. i will argue that your number is highly  misleading.

see the vast majority of Bush's "vacations" were to his ranch in Texas. he basically lived there. thats were he did a great deal of his presidential business. and it also cost tax payers a hell of a lot less than the super extravagant vacations Obama takes.
