Via a "Snopes" search: CLAIM · After taking the entire month of August off for vacation, presided over the worst security failure in US history in September. Here's a few notes on the President's schedule for August 2001: August 1, 2001: Nominated six US Attorneys, two judges for affirmation by Congress. Placed phone calls to PM Blair and Ahern to discuss matters between Britain and Northern Ireland. President announces an agreement on the Patients Bill of Rights President addresses National Urban League Conference August 2, 2001: President meets with House and Senate education leaders. August 3, 2001: Placed six more nominations for US Attorneys. President speaks to press at meeting to discuss his first six months in office and the agenda for the future. President attends a ceremony in East Room honoring Lance Armstrong. August 4, 2001: President's Radio Address August 7, 2001: Press conference in Waco, TX with pool of reporters. August 8, 2001: President helps build a home with Habitat For Humanity, then addresses the group on faith-based and community initiatives. August 9, 2001: Addressed the nation on stem-cell research. August 10, 2001: Announces nomination of two US Ambassadors. August 11, 2001: President's Radio Address August 13, 2001: Presidential Ceremony to sign the Agriculture Supplemental Bill. President holds two press conferences with traveling White House pool. The rest of the month had just as much, if not more, activity. I will omit it here to save space, but you can find complete information at the following sites: White House, "News releases for August 2001" White House Press Briefing, August 1, 2001 White House Press Briefing, August 3, 2001 White House Press Briefing, August 9, 2001 White House Press Briefing, August 22, 2001 White House Press Briefing, August 31, 2001 The President was in Texas from August 7-13 and 21-25. The rest of the month was spent traveling to New Mexico, Colorado, Wisconsin, Missouri and then back to Washington at the end of the month. A review of the White House news archive for August 2001 shows this month to be anything but a "vacation". It is naïve to think that the President spent an entire month doing nothing, as "the resume" implies. Bill "but don't let facts get in way of your self-righteous rage" S. |

I think it's equally naive to think that the 58% of the time he wasn't "on vacation" was worth any more to the safety of NYC than the phone calls he made the 42% of the time he was.
