During his first four-year term, he took a total of 90 days (some sources said 84). This was slightly more than several of his predecessors, but a lot less than other presidents; President Bush, for example, took far more vacation days, while President Clinton took far fewer. It should also be noted that no president is ever really on vacation-- due to the nature of the job, even when a president is away from the White House, he needs to maintain contact with his staff and be ready at a moment's notice to communicate with the American people.

I don't believe that you can make any generalizations about that. To pick only two examples, I'm white and haven't taken a "vacation" in seven years, while President Barack Obama (who is black) has taken 10 or more in his 5.5 years in office.

HOW MUCH VACATION DID OBAMA TAKE?

There is a frequently quoted myth claiming President Obama has taken the most vacation days of any president. As I said, it's a myth. Actually, George W. Bush took many more vacation days (533 total) than Mr. Obama has, and Bill Clinton took fewer days than both of them (174), according to fact-checking websites. President Jimmy Carter, by comparison, only took 79. Current totals for Mr. Obama vary (plus his term isn't over yet), but the totals are generally in the range of 180-190 days thus far.

How many days vacation has Barack Obama taken while in office?

As of the end of his first term, he had taken 84 (some sources say 90). This is not an unusual amount: it is much less than several of his predecessors, but slightly more than a couple of other presidents. It should also be noted that presidents are never really on vacation-- even when President Obama takes his family to his childhood home in Hawaii, he is still in touch with his staff and can immediately take charge in the event of some crisis.

President Obama has taken 84 days (some sources say 90) during his first four years. This is less than what President Bush took in the same time period, but slightly more than what Bill Clinton took. However, no matter who the president may be, he is never really on vacation-- for example, even when Mr. Obama is in Hawaii with his family, he has to be in constant contact with his staff, and ready at a moment's notice to take action if some crisis occurs.
