"Bush has spent more than a year of his presidency" at his ranch 
in Crawford, Texas. On August 19, 2005, "he broke Ronald Reagan's 
record of 335 days for America's most vacationed president and went 
on to take the longest presidential vacation in 36 years," Dale 
McFeatters wrote August 8, 2006, in a ScrippsNews editorial."
