"Speeches, statements and remarks: Since taking office: 883" and with these words, CBS News began an article detailing Obama's comings and goings. Some facts may be correct but his personal appearances numbers are grossly understated. From end of year reports for 2009, we know that he made 726 personal appearances either in news conferences, daily radio reports, town hall meetings (all carefully controlled), campaign speeches and policy statements (58 speeches on healthcare, alone, in 51 days for year 2010 - cf. cBS article below).
We believe his total personal appearance count is count is closer to 1600. The cBS News article allows for personal appearances on every day of 2009-2010 except 45. That's 685 days in two years in which Obama made 1 to 4 appearances of some kind. Understand that we include appearances with foreign dignitaries both home and aboard. It is not a stretch to allow for 1600 appearances.
According to the same cBS News article linked to in "End Notes," Obama boarded either Air Force One or Marine One a total of 714 times and flew somewhere at the cost of 150,000 per hour. Such a statistic helps to support our conclusion.
Add in the cBS count of 58 days spent on vacation and 57 half days playing golf and you have a president who does not spend time in the White House doing his job but he signed into law a total of 329 laws since January of 2009. There is no count available as to the total number of new regulatory laws but it has to be in the law "thousands." Under ObamaCare, alone, there will be 160 new agencies, all governed via rules and regulations.
Point of post: Obama governs with the help of a vast collusion of radical Leftists. He simply does not have the time to govern differently and the above is evidence of our point. Understand, then, that "getting rid of Obama" changes very little. The whole bunch of these radical Leftists need to be gone.
