Question: Over the past 4 years during Obama's term I noticed a dramatic decrease in Guard Dog activity when the pres visits Camp David. Can some of the "die hards" here come up with an approximate number of times President Obama has been at Camp David? Seems like whern Bush was in office there many more missions.
