WTF.. GW was on vacation for 35% of his 2 terms in office? Am I reading that right?

He was at his ranch clearing brush or whatever, yes. The claim was that he was still working while he was there and there’s probably some truth to that, but he wasn’t at the White House where all of the staff and infrastructure to make a president most effective is located.

Yeah per that chart Carter is the only one who did it right.

I was coming to say. Personally I believe all Presidents take far too much vacation time. 40 plus days a year off is a pretty good job.
That’s using Obama’s meager numbers.
Presidents should be like the rest of us, 20 days off a year not expected to be in the office on holidays provided nothing is going on.
when campaigning for re-election that is not vacation time provided they are actually campaigning.

My main problem with President Trump is he obviously lied when he said he would be the hardest working president and we’d know because he would never take a vacation, plus his perpetual bitching about Obama’s vacations. President Trump is easily exceeding all recent Presidents.

I see something different. Who was with him? Does anyone know what was discussed? 'Golf' has long been synonymous with 'corporate networking'. How hard/easy is it to record conversations out there in the open with the SS behind every tree making sure no one else is within range to do so?

The Orange One could be out there deliberately for reasons other than chasing a little white ball around.

Boy, you got to carry that weight, carry that weight a long time......………….
 
Gosh, it's almost like the 8 years conservatives screeched about Obama was completely insincere. Shocking.

Not only did Obama take less vaca time, he didn't use his position to make money by vacationing either.

Also Obama did not use the office for self enrichment. But hey, why should people like @Juiblex make statements totally unrelated in reality. That's the alt-fact world in which we live. Some of us don't want that to be acceptable.

What I find most revealing is how certain people in my family view this activity who often dinged Obama for it. It's hard not to come to a conclusion that it is in large part racially motivated since a black man engaging in leisure is implied to be lazy but a white dude doing it is just an entitlement of his status.

and...there it is. always. The GOP loves them some casual racism.

Project much? I am not defending Trump at all in my response. What I am doing however, is when the republicans had this same post about Obama you guys jumped to his defense. Now you are on the attack. I just find it very entertaining watching the clowns on both sides play the game of tug of war... Wasting your energy in the process.

The difference is that Rethuglicans cried about EVERYTHING Obama did, whether it was good or bad; justified or not. In direct opposition, they have covered for every last thing that Trump has said or done since taking office. But no no no...no hypocrisy here, folks! :laughing:

Including the tan suit, including made up shit like birtherism.

Someone please tell @Juiblex there is a difference between going 5 mph over the speed limit vs 50 over. Penalties are vastly different too.

Save the #bothsides for something legitimate.

Facts be damned! This administrations use of 'alternative-facts' means that a Democrat jaywalking is just as bad as a republican hiring a hitman to kill their spouse. After all, at least the rethuglican is a patriot! Fuck you, libtards!

The important difference is the President went out of his way to say his predecessor vacationed too much, he also stated he will be too busy to vacation. The President is on track to exceed all other recent Presidents in total vacation time.
This is the difference, I would argue you are doing exactly what is in that gif.
