When you add are the time a president takes off its a lot, shouldn't they be fixing the country not golfing. I mean after they are done being president they well have all the time in the world to do whatever they want its not like they are going to work again.
 
All public employees get a lot of time off. Especially... teachers. I get, only 2 weeks plus 7 holidays. I have no sympathy when public employees complain they need more money.
 
They are never on vacation. You just think that because that's what someone on the right told you to think.
 
All presidents take time off, Eisenhower was the most famous golfer, and he even build Camp David just outside of DC to have a presidential retreat on weekends, something all presidents since then enjoy.
The president never actually gets away, he is always hooked up to communications, and the guy with the briefcase is just a step away.
He is surrounded by Secret Service, and they tell him where he can go and how to get there. Presidents don't fix the country alone, that's really the point of Congress.
Presidents make executive decisions and decide policy domestic and foreign, but the laws are made by congress. He just signs them or not as they fit with his policies.
