In August 2014, CBS White House reporter Mark Knoller tweeted that President Obama had taken 125 vacation days so far in his presidency. Knoller’s tweet went out before Obama started his annual two-week summer vacation; so, if you add in that vacation, his two-week 2014 winter vacation, and his 2015 summer vacation, President Obama has had about 170 days “off” since he was sworn into office in 2009. When he leaves office, his total number of vacation days will be in the neighborhood of 200, this is in stark contrast to the 879 days President Bush was away and the 390 days President Reagan took.

You just repeat what you read on The Huffington Post . They have never counted all of the days he slept at the White House but spent playing golf .
You people and your life of sycophant unyielding uncritical adulation make the rest of us .

And they don't consider the fact that Bush and Reagan had "working holidays" that were constructive.

I don't fault Obama for taking vacations. I have found it more to America's benefit to pay for his vacations than to pay in the long run and suffer for his intrusion and attempts to destroy the Constitution. He does more damage on the clock than any other president, including Carter.

No. Was he elected to work of golf? Sorry, but if I have a job to do, I don't play. I didn't drink during working lunches either. I guess some of us just have better work ethics.

One really cannot compare wotk ethics of professional executives whose first priority is the job and the company.

Someone like Obama who has never been an executive respoosible and accountable for anything.
His priority most certainly is not the job. And those critical commitments in the oath of office were the usual for him.....just words.

Away from the office is nothing more than a junior reporter that has no idea what a real executive does......in or away from the office.

Those who relate to a person is working only when at the office are sorta confined to what a person does on an assembly line. Yep....when away from the line they are not working.

Professional executives have no such constraints. Obama is of the assembly line ilk!!!

Interesting. Obama the failure has in fact succeeded in starting the downward spiral of America. And he is hoping that Hillary will get elected so that when America hits bottom, he can blame Hillary, just like he has blamed Bush for 8 years.

They are on duty 24/7. No matter where they are they travel with all the staff and available for any event at any time. That's what's supposed to happen.
It has nothing to do with this discussion but it's a younger person's job. A hundred years ago they could go on Safari's or hunting trips for weeks at a time. No internet, No cell phones

Goes to show ya, that Bush was more of a man and president than Obama will ever hope to achieve. Obama is there by Affirmative Action so we should not expect the same quality work we got from Bush. After all, anyone that defines "leadership" with the same definition as "following" must have a limited mentality.
