Mission Statement: This blog reviews the news of the day in light of 242 years of American history. "Nationalism," a modern day pejorative, has been our country's politic throughout history, until 2008. Obama changed that narrative. Trump is seeking a return to our historical roots. Midknight Review supports this return to normality.
186 rounds of golf, to date. Rounds of involved diplomatic conference with world leaders over the past 5 years? Less than 10. Now you know why the world is going to hell in a hand basket, in a hurry. (not article - just this sad fact)
As of yesterday, Obama had taken a total of 129 full or partial vacation days compared to Bush's 381. Bush play 24 rounds of golf during his 8 years - Obama, with two years to go, has play 186 rounds of golf or, in terms of vacation time off from work, 90 days of golfing vacation which should be added to the 129, for a vacation total of 219 days. Lets add to this the 401 fundraisers. Assuming three fundraising per day, you can add another 130 days entertaining the Democrat Party. That brings his vaca and personal time off, to 219 +130 = 349 days . . . . . time spent NOT doing his job. Over the five years and counting, Obama has given more than 3500 speeches and personal appearances, far far more than any three presidents (combined) in American history. If 4 of these events constitutes a “day,” we can add another 900 days (nominally speaking), which brings our time away from the office of the presidency to 1249 days. Finally, lets add in the 1000 WH parties at 4 hours per event or another 500 days of fun and games, for a total of 1749 days/time doing something other than playing president. He has been in office (counting Sundays) a little over 2007 days in the past 5.5 years, which means, of course, that the man has spent less than 250 in the past 5.5 years, of time dedicated to sole work of the presidency.
Lets shed a little light on this subject from yesterdays article:
