President Ronald Reagan, in his eight years as president, set an interesting presidential record that stood for years.

In his various visits to the Western White House, Reagan managed to rack up an impressive 335 days of vacation time.

No other president came close.

Until now.

George W. Bush, in his recent five-week jaunt to Crawford, Texas, has surpassed Reagan by spending 336 days of his presidency on vacation.

What makes it even more impressive is that Bush did it in less than half the time that it took Reagan.

Quite a feat.
