While horsey-riding or brush-clearing?

WACO, Tex., Aug. 2 -- President Bush is getting the kind of break most
Americans can only dream of -- nearly five weeks away from the office,
loaded with vacation time.

The president departed Tuesday for his longest stretch yet away from the
White House, arriving at his Crawford ranch in the evening for a stretch
of clearing brush, visiting with family and friends, and tending to some
outside-the-Beltway politics. By historical standards, it is the longest
presidential retreat in at least 36 years.

The August getaway is Bush's 49th trip to his cherished ranch since
taking office and the 319th day that Bush has spent, entirely or
partially, in Crawford -- nearly 20 percent of his presidency to date,
according to Mark Knoller, a CBS Radio reporter known for keeping better
records of the president's travel than the White House itself. Weekends
and holidays at Camp David or at his parents' compound in Kennebunkport,
Maine, bump up the proportion of Bush's time away from Washington even further.

Bush's long vacations are more than a curiosity: They play into
diametrically opposite arguments about this leadership style. To critics
and late-night comics, they symbolize a lackadaisical approach to the
world's most important day job, an impression bolstered by Bush's
two-hour midday exercise sessions and his disinclination to work nights
or weekends. The more vociferous among Bush's foes have noted that he
spent a month at the ranch shortly before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks,
when critics assert he should have been more attentive to warning signs.

On May 01, 2003, President Bush declared that, 
"Major combat operations in Iraq have ended."

"I'm the commander -- see, I don't need to explain -- 
I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the 
interesting thing about being the president. 
Maybe somebody needs to explain to me why they 
say something, but I don't feel like I owe anybody 
an explanation. "
