    President Obama gets off work earlier then I do. How about you.

    “The president’s workdays are said to end early, often at 4 p.m. He usually has dinner in the family residence with his wife and daughters, then retreats to a private office. One person said he takes a stack of briefing books. Others aren’t sure what he does.”

    Holing yourself up in an office with stack of briefing books doesn’t count as “work?”

    As for him cutting Geithner out of decisions, that’s the best news I’ve heard all day.

    HotInterns.com?

    I think LBJ was famous for working a lot of hours in seculsion as well… But his cabinet would get calls at 3 AM too.

    Plus you cant throw stones at Bama Man… GW spent more time on vacation than just about any President.

    And before anyone labels me for defending Obama…

    I voted for McCain…

    Which for the record would have done just as poorly…

    As SDDuuuude would say… I voted “Pale, male, and stale”.

    The article states when the president’s workday ends.. but at what time does it start? If he is starting at 5am.. that is a long workday, on the other hand, if he is starting at 11am.. that is kind of short. It is a rather glaring thing to omit in the article.

    Are you suggesting the article may be biased?

    Wow. That never occurred to me.

    Probably a hard job to leave at the office. Seems likely regardless of party affiliation decisions would be weighing on you all the time.

    Ralph Nader wouldve put more desk hours in though.

    Well desk hours are only a part of it. You have to consider what it is the person is doing and the stress levels. My old job I could work 14 hours days and it would have not bothered me. My new job I work ten or eleven and I am wrecked. I know if I was the president 10 hours a day would kill me. The stress level in that position must be unbelievable. The fate of the country on your shoulders is a tough cross to bear. Especially if you are someone who actually gives a shit. I think the presidency was easy for GWB… I don’t think he cared enough about the american people that it was difficult. I think Obama really does care… even if he is a lousy president…
