Can you give a link to anything supporting this? I don't have my John Adams biography in front of me, but I believe that he spent a massive amount of his presidency at home in Quincy.

And if I remember correctly presidents like Madison went home to Virginia in the summer to avoid getting sick in the city.

I'd hate to just think you're making something up or parroting something because you don't like Bush.

Edit: As I suspected, Adams/Madison and Jefferson were out of town a lot, too. And they didn't have anything better than letters to do their jobs, either. I somehow doubt this will stop the "more vacation than any other president in U.S. history" nonsense, though.
