President Biden spends almost as much time on R&R as he does running the country.
The 81-year-old commander-in-chief has racked up 532 vacation days in less than four years — about 40% of the 1, 326 days he’s been in office.
It would take the average American — who gets 11 days a year of vacation — approximately 48 years to accumulate that number of days off, according to shocking data compiled by the Republican National Committee.
“The image of Biden fast asleep and lying flat on his back in his chair at the beach while America and the world is on fire will define the Biden presidency,” said Mark Paoletta, the general counsel of the White House budget office under former President Donald Trump.
“Inflation has been out of control; prices still way too high; our border overrun with millions of illegal aliens committing violent crimes on our citizens; the world in a perilous state; and all Biden wants to do is go on vacation and check out — for more than 530 days,” he said.
The RNC noted that last Saturday’s fun in the sun for Biden in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware was his “16th straight day on vacation.”
Speculation has swirled that Biden has been keeping an even lower public profile since late July because he’s annoyed with fellow Democrats, such as former House Speake Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), who turned against him and strong-armed him into not seeking re-election.
The Post’s front-page report last year noted that Biden spent all or part of 382 of the first 957 days of his presidency – or 40% — on personal overnight trips away from the White House, putting him on pace to become America’s most idle commander-in-chief.

But, but, but Trump plays golf! 😱
He’s been on vacation from day one... But he’s forgiven because he’s also a vegetable.
I felt fortunate I get 29 days off, but now I realize I’m a piker compared to this guy!
He was never in charge and neither will Kamala be if she “wins’
Codgers can get cranky on the beach.
Biden, like Milton, can exercise power if you cross him.

Better for our security that he’s checked out. The man’s dementia is progressing quickly.
There’s almost certainly a committee of non-demented aides in charge of things, Obama overseeing it all.
Darn! When I saw the word, ‘prez’ I came here looking for Elvis.
Who wants to read about Biden?
Yeah, but it’s govt work... Since taxpayers pay for it all they don’t give a damn.
He doesn’t run the country.
Yes, this is true. It could matter if biden was the prez, was necessary for decisions, or otherwise was performing his duties. But he’s not, hasn’t since day 1, as is true for most modern presidents [Clinton, Trump, Obama are the three who ruled from top-down].
Whether in the white house or on a beach, biden’s duties, contributions, and leadership is the same. None.
So while interesting, and fodder for “look at this!” complaints, its pretty meaningless.
532 vacation days and how many campaign days?
Well, Dems did accomplish their goals with this President.
Imagine how much harm he’d have done if he worked hard?
In his defense...he didn’t know it was vacation...(sarc)
I suspect the democrats/leftists are doing damage control by keeping him out of the office and public eye as much as possible until Jan.
Even when he’s at work, he gets there by 11:00AM and takes an hour and a half lunch and calls it a day at 3:00PM. Of course pretending to be POTUS doesn’t require much time, when one has the cover of the propagandist media that the homoglobalists have.
Well, what did we expect from a “Weekend at Bernies” President.
It’s good to be king.
Theft of services.
I can’t even imagine how much more fckd up the country would be if he spent 40% more time on the job!!!!.
