Defund NPR; that is the biggest lie I’ve ever seen...1080 days vacation for GWB? What’s 365*8? They might as well make it that number and pawn it along as fact.

1020 vacation days = 127 a year.

Then there’s this...

Crowley is lying. Bush spent 1,020 days of his presidency on vacation. To put this into context, John F. Kennedy spent fewer days in office, 1000, than George W. Bush spent on vacation. Bush spent 487 days at Camp David, 490 days at his Crawford ranch, and 43 days in Kennebunkport. George W. Bush spent 69 days in Crawford during his first year in office. In contrast, according to FactCheck.org, Obama spent all, or part of, 26 days of his first year in office on vacation. This was less than all three previous Republican presidents, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush, but more than the two previous Democratic presidents, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.

I’m trying to find a source to debunk this. Someone help me out here.

Thanks.

One out of 3 days. So 10 days a month they claim. Lies and slander.
