How many hours a day should a President work? It takes about 3 to 4 hrs to play golf. He sleeps about 6.
On the days he plays golf, he still has 14 hrs to work.
It's kind of funny that Congress takes a 5 week break and Obama has a 2 week vacation in which he will work half the time
and he is the one getting the criticism for taking a family vacation.

In a detailed report, the nonpartisan Government Accountability Institute (GAI) estimated that the president has spent over twice as many hours on vacation and golf (976 hours) as he has in economic meetings of any kind (474.4 hours). And those calculations were figured in ways that gave a very distinct advantage to the president. There is general agreement that GAI seriously underestimated the president's leisure time and overestimated his time working on the economy. For instance, GAI used very broad interpretations of what constitutes "economic meetings" by including any cabinet meeting or time spent with businessmen. Likewise, the president was given "benefit of the doubt" regarding the time he spent vacationing and golfing. For instance, the president once said on record that playing golf takes six hours, but the GAI only counted four hours for each golf round.
But even when given credit for many more hours of economic meetings and counting far fewer hours of vacation and golf time, President Obama still ended up playing twice as much as working on the economy since he was elected in 2008.
- Assuming a 10-hour workday, six days a week, Mr. Obama has spent only 3.6% of his time on economic matters.
- Throughout his whole presidency, Mr. Obama has spent less than 50 workdays on any kind of economic meeting or briefing.
- Thus far this year, the president has spent a total of six hours in economic meetings of any kind.
- As his term has gone on, the president has spent "significantly" less and less time on the economy (almost 80% decline).
- President Obama has attended less than half of the daily intelligence briefings (42.1% of the 1,532 days reviewed by GAI).
.
- The president has played 115 rounds of golf.
- The president has spent 86 days on vacation
The president was roundly criticized in 2012 when he played his 100th round of golf. At the time, numerous media contrasted Mr. Obama with President Bush, who played just 24 rounds of golf in two years and the fact that he quit playing golf during the war in Iraq, telling Politico that "playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal." President Obama defended his golfing by telling Harry Smith of CBS News that "It's the only time that for six hours, I'm outside." Numerous media outlets came to his defense; the Washington Post wrote that the president's time playing golf didn't matter.
You are so ill-informed, it's scary. Scarier, is I really do believe you believe what you type.
Obama' s top priority right now is fundraising. Campaigning and fundraising for campaigns....... The only field of expertise for this President.
one good point...when Bomma is on the golf course, he's ******* up less **** for the country.
“You give me this office and in turn my, fears, doubts, insecurities, foibles, need for sleep, family life, vacations, leisure is gone. I am giving my self to you."
It is just a perk of the job. O-man plays golf, Clinton ****** interns. BTW, I have been known to play golf after work, sometimes even before, once even in the middle of a work day.
I will save 21 the trouble...

Booosh!!
No idea of the accuracy.
Don't get me wrong - I would prefer he took the rest of his term off. He ***** up everything he touches. It's just fun to point out the lies and laziness of this feckless ********.
Yes, I am with you. Same for Congress. I heard a story on NPR today that this Congress really is a "Do Nothing" Congress. Compared to other Congresses, they have passed fewer pieces of legislation, blah, blah, blah. I turned it off.
Considering that Congress is probably responsible for more than half the **** that needs fixed, I'd just as soon that not "fix" it again.
I will save 21 the trouble...
