But it's false to equate their vacation time and handwave it away as the same, because it's patently not true. Democrats can complain about Bush's number of vacation days as being excessive without being inherently hypocritical, Republicans can't.

Time away doesn't matter given, as both sides say at various times depending on who the POTUS is, that each POTUS still had equal access to the WH, etc while away. So, rambling on comparing who was away the most is rather silly. Basically, any arguing boils down to partisan politics without any substance.
