The latest Republican talking point is about which president takes the most vacation time. Any rational personal would understand a United States President, one of the most powerful positions in the world, probably doesn't take any vacation.
Regardless of whether you agree or disagree, Republicans are yet again trying to create something, anything they can pin on President Obama.
Fox News laughably produces a chart with astonishing information. See how President Obama wastes time on vacation? Take a step back, and let's look at actual numbers. Remember, the vacation numbers can be verified. CBS News White House Correspondent Mark Knoller has covered every president since Gerald Ford and is known for keeping detailed records on travel. Fox News apparently didn't know that.

Let's look at the reality of the situation, look at the Reality chart. Quite a different understanding isn't it?
It is truly amazing at how much the Bush's abused their power, were absent from work and can you imagine how much this cost tax payers?
It literally takes about 10 seconds to verify this information. Politifact, FactCheck.org, and the source himself, Mark Knoller.

Just for fun, how about creating a chart that shows Republican vacation days versus Democratic vacation days? Who wastes more tax payer dollars?
During his two terms, George Bush took 879 vacation days, which included 77 total trips to his Crawford, Tex., ranch. Nine of those trips were taken in his first year as president.
How about we add up all the travel expenses and see how much it really cost tax payers?
