Study finds Obama has spent only 3.6% of his Presidency on the economy. Twice as much on vacation.

You would think after all the talk about fixing the economy, trying to help people, and make things better, he would have spent more than 3.6% of his entire presidency in meetings or doing what is necessary to fix the economy. I do find it ironic that in the same study it was discovered that he has spent twice that amount of time on the golf course and burning up tax payer dollars on vacations. Shameful! Now you liberal commie democrats will try and say something about Bush, but I don't give a rats ass about Bush. The bottom line is the economy has sucked for Obama's ENTIRE presidency, and he hasn't given a damn about it. He's too concerned about being a celebrity and living the 1%'er life! YEAH I SAID IT!!! http://www.atr.org/new-report-obama-spent-point-percent-a7584 http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/04/28/REPORT-Obama-Spent-Twice-As-Much-Time-On-Vacation-Golf-As-On-Economy For you trolls that think all Bush did was vacation. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20100809095928AA5OG90 Let the trolls begin!

    • I would say that is more of Congress's job to fix the economy, but instead all they care about is passing SOPA because they are being lobbied by large corporations.

    • You all played your part perfectly! If I had linked something from one of your liberal commie democrat websites you would have been just fine with it. The term double standard doesn't even begin to describe you liberal commie democrats and your hypocritical ways. Well done....well done to you all!

      • Obama isn't good with numbers or money and he should stay away from that.. he just gets in the way and screws things up. He admitted today on NBSNews Live that the government seems divided..

        • This raises the more important question of how much time a president is supposed to spend in "economic meetings". How does this compare to other presidents? And the study you posted only measured time in "economic meetings or briefings". What about doing research or writing legislation? Obama isn't a king or a dictator. He has advisers and staff members who help him. And there's Congress and the Senate. Proposing measures to fix the economy is their job.

          So wait... You mean the Prez of the US doesn't singlehandedly combat every problem that the nation faces and, shock horror, actually delegates a lot of his responsibilities to oversight committees, other politicians, advisors, assistants/aides etc. Well I never. It's also laughable that the site linked by the OP, which is a highly dubious source, doesn't give a complete breakdown of how Obama spends those 10 hours days but merely gives the time spent on the economy and time spent on holiday/playing golf. Maybe it's so they could better twist a few facts to suit their purpose? Or that, with the complete breakdown, you see that Obama has been dealing with other, equally important shit as well?

        • I love it when liberals say "find a credible non partisan news source". As if a liberal or moderate source would actually dig up this information on Obama. Give me a break.

          • Funny how the people in the comments are trying to point the finger at republicans and say his sources aren't valid. That's called being desperate when the facts contradict your world view.

            • No surprise. The economy is in bad shape and he himself is a horrible economist, which is probably why he avoided it.

                    Well what do you know. Cromy is using Conservative leaning blogs to criticize a President who is more Liberal. What did you expect? These websites would still find something to complain about if this wasn't the case.

                      • Of course, did anyone think that this joke was any different than the joke George Bush? You're going to get Big Government and business as usual. They don't care about you unless it's for show.
