Mr. Obama evades scandals by attending fundraisers, meeting foreign Presidents, hosting a movie screenings and football team, and golfing (of course)

President Obama spent around 17 hours this week flying to North Carolina and various cities in California.  In addition, he visited a Middle School, attended 3 fundraising events, had lunch with the Vice President, welcomed the Baltimore Ravens to the White House, hosted a private movie screening at the White House, and played a round of golf.


On the official side, he: met with the Presidents of Peru and China; made 2 personnel announcements; met once with Secretaries Lew and Hagel, and his senior advisers; delivered two personnel announcements and received 3 daily briefings. All together, these activities accounted for 16 hours of his time.

Obviously missing from his agenda is any time devoted to the discussion of the current scandals, or the planning and updates of the IRS and NSA spying on American citizens.

In addition to Mr. Obama's campaign fundraising efforts, both Vice President Biden and Michelle Obama attended two other fundraisers as well.

Weekly Air Force One and Helicopter flying time (21 hours total):
  • President Obama: White House to Mooresville NC : 1.5 hours
  • President Obama: Mooresville NC to San Jose CA (Palo Alto): 6.5 hours
  • President Obama: San Jose CA to Los Angeles CA: 1.5 hours
  • President Obama: Los Angeles CA to Palm Springs CA: 1 hour
