This senile liar hardly works. It's incredible and stunning to anyone with even half a brain. That would exclude the 32% who still think Biden is doing an awesome job. They are obviously mental cases.

The part time President. So, one has to wonder, who is actually in charge?

Biden works 71% as long as average Americans and half as long as previous presidents

After President Joe Biden‘s public implosion during his dumpster fire of a debate performance on CNN, the dam has finally broken, with current and former aides to the president anonymously breaking ranks and pointing fingers. Alex Thompson reports that “the public split screen” between the incoherent and slack-jawed octogenarian on Thursday and the relatively competent campaigner galvanizing rally-goers the next afternoon is no accidental chasm.

“Biden’s miscues and limitations are more familiar inside the White House,” Thompson writes. “The time of day is important as to which of the two Bidens will appear. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Biden is dependably engaged — and many of his public events in front of cameras are held within those hours. Outside of that time range or while traveling abroad, Biden is more likely to have verbal miscues and become fatigued, aides told Axios.”

It’s not just that Biden is working literally half the amount of time that his predecessors did, but that he’s working a fraction of the time that ordinary workers across the country do every day.

Working six hours per day just five days a week totals a 30-hour workweek. The average full-time earner works nearly 42 hours per week, and full-time workers reported working an average of 8.5 hours per day, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. In other words, Biden is working just 71% of the time other full-time workers are on the job.

And unlike the majority of workers in the country, Biden has the privilege of literally working from home, meaning that his 10 a.m. start time isn’t a result of a nasty commute in D.C. traffic but rather because he is unwilling or, worse, incapable of being ready to start the day earlier.

The schedules of Biden’s predecessors paint a stark comparison and model just how all-consuming the job of the presidency should be. Donald Trump notoriously subsists on only four or five hours of sleep, waking up before 6 a.m. both as president and while on the campaign trail and going to bed after midnight. Trump would begin his official workday at the White House at 8 a.m. — he was publicly pilloried for not taking public meetings often until 11 a.m. — and returned to the residence around 6 p.m. Barack Obama, who worked out for 45 minutes every morning without fail, would begin his work day around 8:30 or 9 a.m., return to the residence around 6:30 p.m., and like Trump, work until midnight or later. George W. Bush would get to the Oval Office before 7 a.m., with his days scheduled down to 10-minute increments, and end his working day around 6 p.m.

All in all, Trump, Obama, and Bush all worked about 12-hour work days, even with the more unstructured time of reading and tweeting at the beginning and ends of the days for 44 and 45. Like these men or hate them, there’s no denying that they were dedicated to the demands of the presidency.
