I do not understand a part below 'h which, really, why even bother at that point?.' Please help me.
"In a sign of how troubled our world is right now, this year, President Bush decided he's only doing a ten-day vacation at his Crawford ranch which, really, why even bother at that point?."

George Bush has had more vacation days in his 5-1/2 years than Ronald Reagan, the previous record holder, had in his full 8 years as president of the U.S. He likes to take whole months off at a time, in Texas or at Camp David. Although a 10-day vacation at a critical time in history would be too much time off for anyone else, for Bush it is so short that the writer suggests, a little sarcastically or cynically, that he really shouldn't bother. Too short to even qualify as a Bush vacation.
