Our Vacationing President

8 Graphs Illustrating the Bush Presidency #8

President Bush didn't like the White House and he didn't like Washington DC. He'd much rather take a little time off. He didn't particularly care for hard work so off he'd go. Oh, I know its unfair to suggest that a President is ever truly on vacation, even though Bush seemed to spend an inordinate amount of time pretending to clear brush on his stage set. Oops ... I mean on his ranch. Still, the "Vacation President" is an apt description of his governing style which led to a disastrous economy and two never ending wars. Never let it be forgotten that President Bush spent over 25% of his Presidency on vacation. (Source)

Yes, I recognize that the graph merely shows a division of where he spent his vacation time, but I've grown bored of bar and line graphs and decided to use a pie graph because it's "purdy".
