And he’s hard-working, too, unlike that previous guy!

Sharing with America President Obama’s daily schedule, Diane Sawyer managed to work in a little shot at President Bush’s early-to-bed habits.

DIANE SAWYER: For the first time, we have details this morning on the new night-owl presidency. We have the president’s schedule: compare it to yours. He hits the gym at 6:45 AM, does weights and cardio. He reads several paper, eats breakfast with the family, sees his daughter off to school, both daughters off to school. Then makes the 30-second commute to work, landing him in the Oval Office at 9 AM. A lot of snorting around here about that.

His office day, by the way, ends at 10 PM. And the former president used to be in bed by 10 PM. So, the night owl has arrived.

LOL! Anyone care to bet how much work GWB had done by 9AM?
Many feds are at their desks by 7AM

His office day, by the way, ends at 10 PM.

So what you're saying, Diane, is that Barack Obama is avoiding spending time with his wife and children.

You know, any President lives with the pain of knowing that at 2:00pm, he could get the little tap to wake him followed by, “Mr. President, we have a problem.” W was just smart enough to plan ahead for it.

President Bush started his workday in the Oval office at 7:00 AM whereas Obama at 9:00 AM.

He reads several paper, eats breakfast with the family, sees his daughter off to school,

yeah,

and He cuts down trees. He eats his lunch.
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping
And has buttered scones for tea.

Sounds like Bush was a better time manager.

So what you're saying, Diane, is that Barack Obama is avoiding spending time with his wife and children.

At least as far as his wife is concerned, can you blame him?

Gee, all I see are magazine cover pictures of him everywhere. When does he fit in all of the photo shoots?

[tgusa]

Well, of course she is. She obviously wants to get in line to have his baby./s

In the various Dilbertoriums where I've worked, there have always been guys who stayed late and worked long hours. Sometimes they were trying to fix whatever errors they made, and sometimes they were outright pretending. You could always tell that a manager was an airhead or worse if he would be impressed by such people.

Yeah, for all they know he is playing Solitaire or Nintendo DS in his office till 10 pm.

This is so indicative of liberals. They don’t even understand what ‘hard work’ means in the context of an executive position. One good clean 20 min meeting with the right people addressing the right question is worth more than 500 Bill Clinton all night pizza and cigar ‘work’ parties or 1000 Obama ‘how can stack the deck for 2012’ meetings.

W had Laura to go to bed with each night.......huge difference.

[Jeffrey_D.]

Did she really say, “A lot of snorting around here about that.”

I got nothin to add!

[Marathoner]

WTF are these hours supposed to prove? After all, it was said that Jimmah was the most intelligent President, and we all know how useful that was/s

Diane Sawyer is on her third drink by 4PM.
