Biden sets record for weekends away from White House just 4 months in
Daily Mail via MSN ^ | 5/31/21

Less than six months into a tenure bogged down by the coronavirus pandemic, soaring gun violence and a crisis at the southern border, President Joe Biden has already spent more weekends away from the White House than any of his modern predecessors at the same point in their term.

Speaking with CNN under the condition of anonymity, a source familiar with the president's thinking said Biden sees the White House 'more like a Monday-through-Friday kind of place.'

The building that was once home to nearly all of Biden's predecessors, including his former boss President Barack Obama, is now more like 'really, really high-end corporate housing' for its current occupant.

Out of the 19 weekends he has been president, Biden has only spent five at the White House.

Members of his staff have told CNN that Biden would even leave the residence on short notice when his schedule would say otherwise - for a weekly breather - despite the nearly 55,000 square foot of space containing amenities including a bowling alley, a movie theater and a tennis pavilion.

'Even if it's Tuesday and the schedule says he will be at the White House for that weekend - or it doesn't say he's going anywhere - in the back of my mind, I know he's going to not be at the White House,' a member of Biden's entourage told CNN.

Even during his decades-long career as a senator, Biden was known for fleeing Washington, DC in favor of spending most nights and weekends home in Delaware.

So is President Harris the one to answer that 2 AM phone call?

Unlikely. It’s difficult to have a conversation when your mouth is full.

He’s not there when he is in the White House so it doesn’t really matter ...

Joe Biden is an ugly blemish on our country's history. One that epitomizes the corruption and sloth that pollutes our government.

His legacy will join him with names like Benedict Arnold, John Wilkes Booth and Timothy McVeigh, but sadly he is too far gone to ever feel the contempt history will hold for him. A traitor of the worst order, he will never realize the shame put upon him for the misery and even death he is causing as long as he keeps breathing.

Acting President Harris has no INTENTION of answering a 2 AM phone call. Or a 3 AM phone call. Maybe not even answer the call at all.

Let the help get the call. It is only going to get bucked upstairs anyway. A representative of the oligarchy behind this all is the action person, WAY above the pay grade of anyone in the Oval Office.

Joe better be careful. Somebody from California might want to convert the building to a homeless shelter over the weekends.

If you add it up by hours spent away from the hut, Obama probably wins. A month in Hawaii, a month on Martha’s Vineyard, a week or two in Telluride. That doesn’t even count trips to Indonesia, Britain for a royal visit and of course bowing to Middle Eastern kings. Then there are the campaign trips to every town USA. I think once he even visited his old Chicago crib.

Must be that he needs to sleep 48 hours during the weekends.
