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 vacation days has Barack Obama taken while President?
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.
How many days vacation did Barack Obama take in 2009?
In his first three years in office, President Obama took 61 days of vacation. (And in his first term, he took a total of 84 days... some sources say 90.) Just to compare, during President George W. Bush's first three years, he spent 180 days at his ranch or at Camp David. Bill Clinton took only 28 days of vacation. Ronald Reagan took 112 vacation days. And in fairness, no president is ever totally on vacation-- even when they leave the White House to travel somewhere with their family for some relaxation, they are still at work, still taking phone calls from their aides or cabinet members; still scheduling meetings if important issues come up; and making sure they are informed about any potential areas of concern. It should also be noted that no matter who is in office, his political opponents will always accuse him of being on vacation too much. It should be noted that there are internet claims that Mr. Obama has taken the most vacation days of any president ever. Such claims are false, and politically motivated. Similarly, the discourse that President Bush was always on vacation is equally inaccurate-- while he did spend lots of time on his ranch, he also held press conferences, received official visits from diplomats, and conferred with his aides. How many days a president spends away from the White House is not always an accurate measure of how hard they work at their job.
How many days has Barack Obama been on vacation in 4yrs?
By most accounts, he took about 84 days total in four years. This is less than some presidents like George W. Bush, but slightly more than Bill Clinton. It should be noted that whether Republican or Democrat, a president is never really "on vacation" since they must remain in constant contact with their advisers and be prepared to speak to the nation if a crisis occurs.
How many vacation days has Obama taken since January 2008 to March 2013?
Most objective sources have placed the total at between 84 and 90, and one source has said 95 days. This is still far fewer vacation days than some other recent presidents (most notably George W. Bush) took at this point in their presidency, but slightly more than a couple of presidents, including Bill Clinton. It should be noted that internet claims that Mr. Obama has taken the most vacation days of any president are false, as are the claims that he spent more money on vacation than any other president. Such claims are usually expressed by partisans on talk shows, and have no evidence to support them.
How many vacation days has President Obama taken in his first term as president?
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.
How many vacation days did Clinton take while in office?
Mr. Clinton took a total of 174 vacation days during his eight years in office. Some chain e-mails that say he took as many as 600 are false.
How many vacation days has Trump taken since taking office?
Since taking office in January 2017, Donald Trump has faced scrutiny for his vacation habits. Reports indicate that he took around 400 days off during his presidency, often spending weekends at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida or his golf clubs. This has drawn comparisons to his predecessors, who typically took far fewer vacation days. However, the exact number of official vacation days can vary based on how one defines a "vacation."
How much did Obama's vacation cost?
First, it is difficult to answer this question because we do not know which vacation you are wondering about. But presidential vacations are not unusual: all presidents go on vacation. And contrary to opinions expressed on TV and radio Talk Shows, President Obama's vacations have not been any more expensive, nor any longer, than those of his predecessors, Presidents Bush and Clinton. It should be noted that it is very common for the opponents of the party in power to claim the current president is spending outrageous amounts on vacations. Usually, such claims are exaggerated: for example, in 2010, an internet rumor claimed that President Obama wasted taxpayer money by having a private plane fly his dog to the family's Maine vacation. But it turned out this was a myth and no such flight took place. There was another internet claim that president Obama took more vacation days than any president in history, but that too turned out to be false.
