President Joe Biden was spotted Wednesday lounging on a Delaware beach in what was his 10th or so day of vacation from the White House.
The fact that he’s been out of the White House for so many days has an increasing number of critics concerned about who’s leading the nation.
Biden is now lounging on the beach during his SECOND STRAIGHT WEEK of vacations.
This is ABSURD.

What’s known is that as of September of 2023, he’d spent 40 percent of his presidency (382 days, to be exact) on vacation, as reported by The Heritage Foundation.
His latest vacation started after he spoke at the Democrat National Convention.
“Biden left the White House Aug. 19 to head to the Democratic National Convention, where he gave a rousing speech on the first night of the four-day fest anointing Vice President Kamala Harris as the party’s nominee,” according to the New York Post.
“He opted against staying in Chicago for the other three days of the major party gathering, instead jetting off to Santa Ynez, Calif., where he stayed at the $37 million estate of Joe Kiani, CEO of medical technology company Masimo,” as reported by the Post.
Side question: Biden spent the week at the estate of billionaire mega donor Joe Kiani.
Didn’t Dems just a year+ arguing that Clarence Thomas going on vacations with and using the boat/lodging of a rich friend was indisputable evidence of corruption? https://t.co/M9EXonwFpv

On Sunday, the president left his billionaire donor friend’s home and flew to Rehoboth Beach, where he’s expected to remain until Friday if not up all the way through Sunday.
However, the president is scheduled to perform some limited work on Monday, when he’s set to speak at a Pennsylvania rally for presidential candidate Kamala Harris.
But why is the president working so little? There’s speculation that he’s doing so in part because he’s angry with all of his Democrat allies for turning on him after his disastrous debate performance in July.
Recall that after the debate with former President Donald Trump, the Democrat Party’s top leaders all began clamoring for Biden to drop out of the presidential race and let Harris take his stead.
At first, the president resisted, but the pressure eventually became too much for him.
Biden back in DE after 6-day stay in CA. By my count it’s his 114th visit to DE spanning all or part of 328 days. Compares at same point in office to:
-Trump at Mar-a-Lago/Bedminster: 51 visits/240 days
-GWBush at Texas ranch: 38 visits/254 days.— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) August 26, 2024
The White House has for its part defended the president’s incessant vacationing.
“The president is on vacation, but you can never unplug from a job like that, nor does he try to,” National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said Monday. “He’s very much in command.”
Is he really, though? The White House may say so, but the public has doubts.
Observe:
We’ve paid him to do nothing for 44 months. What’s another 4?

This is pathetic. The leader of the free world has not done anything to lead for so long. What does he need a vacation from??

@SpeakerJohnson does congress have the power to defund his salary? This is past the point of being ridiculous. The Presidency is basically a no show job.

Two months ago, Biden was the smarest & quickest tool in the shed…where’s the EXPLANATION for his transition to beach plant?
Why do we NO LONGER have an ELECTED, Executive Officer SERVING IN DC?— Annie Loves Covfefe (@4annegs) August 28, 2024
This is textbook ‘Dereliction of Duty’.
“Dereliction of duty is the failure to do what is expected of someone, especially in the context of their job.”
We need to bring him in front of Congress & hold him accountable. This is not an acceptable way to govern a nation.

Some in the public sector also don’t appreciate having to personally work so hard while the president dithers.
“I haven’t been able to take a vacation since 2016,” one critic tweeted. “Things have gotten more expensive and impossible ever since. Yet this dude is on vacation every week. The American dream has died so he can sit by the beach while the rest of us tread water desperately just to not be homeless.”
