It thinks it's pretty well known that Bush and Reagan took a lot of vacation. Obama's numbers might be skewed as he's still in office, but I don't think he's close to Bush.

That being said, considering a President is on call 24/7 I'm not sure how much time off they really can count.

Obama certainly has traveled a lot more than other Presidents, especially international travel his first year. Some of this may be his personal style but I think a lot of it is a reflection of the times.
