Obama did more drone strikes in his first year (563) than Bush did his entire term. I can't find the specific months, but it's unlikely it was all done in the last quarter. He also authorized the first drone strike on an American.

Bush didn't do drone strikes because he was too busy starting wars. The drones were supposed to be a replacement for the war.
As Bush would say, "Mission Accomplished".
