Does Obama Ever Work?

Before winning the presidency, Barack Obama had a reputation for coming into work very late - 10 or 11am- he was never exactly an early riser, but granted - he was only a community organizer anyway and without real responsibilities. Now I'm wondering if he ever actually works. If we look at Obama's first 9 months in office - he has golfed 24 times already - or almost 1x/week (3x as much as GW Bush). He has taken 5 trips to Europe (5x as many as Bush took), and he has granted 24 interviews to different networks (4x as many as Bush). Combine this with his non-stop campaigning and speech-giving across America, one wonders: does this guy ever do anything tangible? He reminds me of a guy I used to work with who used to walk around the office non-stop, talking to people all day long, but never actually getting any real work done.

On the one hand, we should be thankful. I don't think any of us wants him to get anything done. On the other hand - what a lazy sack of potatoes our President is proving to be. Let's hope he continues to be this utterly and ridiculously lazy - we don't need any of his garbage policies getting through.
