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.

Obama is a figurehead. Although he has a little bit more influence than Biden.
I’m not surprised.
This is what the Dem party has devolved to.
pffft...he’s been on vacation since Inauguration Day
Actually, that might be a good thing since wasn’t around to muck things up.
Think of the damage the bαstard might have caused if he came to work 5 days a week?
Liberal friend complained that G. W. Bush played too much golf.
Not a word about Obama playing more.
The less Democrats work the better
Look at all the shit they gave Reagan and Bush, but when it comes to incompetent Captain Dementia? Not even a yawn! has anyone toted up all the time The Cackler disappeared from view over those years?
No, it's because fellow Democrats are annoyed with him for backing Kamala - and terrified of what might come out of his mouth.
