What president spent the most money on vacations or liesure time?

Answer 1

It's difficult to answer this question, because in each presidency, certain costs go up. (In other words, the cost of fuel for Air Force One is undoubtedly more now than, let's say, fifteen years ago.) If you are asking whether conservative talk show hosts are correct when they claim President Obama has spent the most money on vacation, no they are not: their job is to be outraged, as liberal talk show hosts were outraged when Bush was the president. Every president is accused by his political opponents of spending too much on vacation, and Barack Obama is no exception. But there is not much evidence that Obama is actually spending more than his predecessors did.

Regarding how much time off presidents take, Mark Knoller, who covers the White House for CBS News, wrote in August 2011 that "President Obama has taken 61 vacation days after 31 months in office. At this point in their presidencies, George W. Bush had spent 180 days at his ranch where his staff often joined him for meetings. And Ronald Reagan had taken 112 vacation days at his ranch. Among recent presidents, Bill Clinton took the least time off -- 28 days."

The reality is that President Obama, President Bush, and other modern presidents all find it very expensive to go on vacation: they have to be accompanied by the Secret Service, they need private hotels, and as mentioned before, the cost of fuel for Air Force One has gone up. And, as Mark Knoller also reminded readers, "...a presidential vacation away from the White House is not the same as a vacation for the average person. The president is still in contact with his advisers and on call for any emergency." Thus, given the pressure of the job, most taxpayers understand that presidents deserve some time off, even if the costs are by no means cheap.
