In 2005, he remained on vacation after Hurricane Katrina swamped New Orleans and devastated the Gulf Coast. His presidency suffered from his response to the storm and his decision to not immediately return to Washington.


What's that work out to, 1 1/3 years out of 8 on vacation...something like that...
