Maybe the president doesn't like Washington, D.C. Maybe he really likes Air
Force One. But whatever the reason, recently compiled statistics show he
spends a lot of time on the road: 48 percent of his time, to be exact.
CBS News's Mark Knoller, who regular compiles White House statistics,
released numbers on Friday showing that the president has spent nearly 50
percent of his presidency outside Washington, D.C. As of January 2, Obama
has been president for 712 days, reports the Washington Examiner. For 339 of
those days - about 48 percent - Obama has been MIA from Washington.
"According to Knoller, Obama has spent 176 days on domestic trips, 70 days
on foreign travel, 58 days on vacation, and 35 days at Camp David," The
Examiner's Byron York writes. And "you can add a couple more vacation days
to the total before the president returns from his break in Hawaii."
