How many vacations has President Obama taken in his first term?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
According to most credible sources, he has taken 84 (some say 90) vacation days in his first four years in office. This is not an unusual amount; it is far less than his predecessor, but slightly more than several other presidents. It should be noted that no president is ever truly on vacation-- presidents need to remain in constant contact with their staff so that if there is an emergency, that can take charge immediately.

What US president has taken most vacations?
George W. Bush or Barack Obama
Who among first ladies has taken most vacations?
This is a difficult question to answer, since (with a very few exceptions) most First Ladies only take vacations with their husband the president; thus, it is usually not their choice when they go on vacation. By that criterion, Laura Bush would have taken the largest number of vacation days in the modern era, since she accompanied her husband George W. Bush to their ranch in Crawford Texas very frequently. But if you are responding to an internet myth that Michelle Obama has taken more vacations than any other first lady, it is not true. In fact, just about every modern first lady has been accused of taking too many vacations or spending too much money. There is no evidence that Mrs. Obama has taken any more vacations than other first ladies.

Was Michelle Obama ordered to pay the government for vacations she has taken?
No, this is an internet myth, spread by people who dislike the president and his wife. The truth is that many First Ladies have been called extravagant or criticized for allegedly spending too much money. But Mrs. Obama is no more extravagant than her predecessors. And no, she was never "ordered" to pay the government for her vacations. All presidents and their families take vacations, and there is an allowance they are given. But after her trip to Spain, Mrs. Obama voluntarily reimbursed the treasury for some expenses that were not directly related to herself and her children (she had invited several family friends along).

How much vacation did Barack Obama take in his first term?
By most accounts, he took between 84 and 90 days of vacation in his first four years in office. This is not an unusual amount; it is far less than several presidents, but slightly more than others. It should be noted that presidents are never truly on vacation-- they must keep in constant contact with their staff in the event that an emergency occurs and they need to take charge.
How much taxpayer money has Obama spent on vacations to date?
It is a partisan myth that presidents cost us outrageous sums of money when they are on vacation. Republicans like to accuse Democratic presidents of being wasteful, and Democrats like to accuse Republicans of the same. To be fair, even when presidents are on vacation, they are also on duty, ready to take an emergency call from a cabinet member or someone in the Pentagon or whoever else might need to talk to the Commander in Chief. It is also a myth that President Obama has taken more vacations than any other president. There are some presidents who spend more time on vacation than others: but President Obama so far has not spent an unusual amount of time on vacation. That said, whether we are discussing President Bush or President Obama, vacations can be expensive, since they require secret service, special use of Air Force One (with fuel charges, paying staff, etc), and whatever the cost of the rental of the vacation house, meals, etc. According to some estimates, President Obama's vacations have actually cost less than those of President Bush. But the fact remains: there is no easy or cheap way for any president to take some time off without incurring a number of expenses, and yes, these expenses do affect the taxpayers.
How much do the tax payers pay on Obama's vacation and clothes?

What is President Obama the first president to ever do in office?
Since Mr. Obama is our country's first African-American president, that is certainly something he did that nobody else has done before him, and every action he has taken, he is the first black president to have ever done it. In the world of diplomacy, he is also the first U.S. president to ever visit Cambodia, as well as the first to visit Burma (Myanmar). But beware of some anti-Obama websites which list "he was the first president to ever..." (insert negative accusation here); the majority, if not all, of these assertions are political in nature and are not actual "firsts"-- rather, they are based on the opinion of his political opponents.
How many vacation days has President Obama taken in his first term as president?
President Obama has taken 84 days (some sources say 90) during his first four years. This is less than what President Bush took in the same time period, but slightly more than what Bill Clinton took. However, no matter who the president may be, he is never really on vacation-- for example, even when Mr. Obama is in Hawaii with his family, he has to be in constant contact with his staff, and ready at a moment's notice to take action if some crisis occurs.
