Joe Biden seems to be savoring his last moments in the White House, taking time away from the Oval Office that reeks more of a vacation mindset than presidential duty. With his term winding down, the President appears focused on enjoying an extensive holiday itinerary rather than addressing the pressing issues facing the nation. One has to wonder how much actual “work” he’s done since the last election, which has likely been overshadowed by his seemingly endless vacations.
Recent reports highlight Biden’s fondness for retreating to his various vacation spots. While many Americans are tightening their belts due to inflation, Biden has been busy flitting between Delaware and Nantucket for his customary Thanksgiving break, while Jill has also ventured to Italy and France. As if that weren’t enough, Biden is set to visit the Pope next month, proving that his calendar is filled with activities that prioritize pleasure over pressing needs domestically.

In a move that raises eyebrows, he has now jetted off to St. Croix for the Christmas holiday, a trip that, according to his previous resolutions, seems to be more about personal leisure than addressing serious national matters. His resolution last year hinted at returning to St. Croix, but unfortunately, reclaiming American hostages and tackling inflation didn’t seem to make the cut. One cannot help but question the focus and priority of an administration that would rather chase waves than deal with crises.
This latest holiday jaunt continues a trend where Biden has clocked in about 570 days off—nearly 40 percent of his presidency has been spent in this leisurely state. Such a statistic raises several ethical questions, as many wonder if any of this time should fall under the purview of presidential responsibilities. Critics can’t help but notice that he has leveraged taxpayer dollars while vacationing and staying at luxurious properties of wealthy Democrat donors.
Biden’s choice to stay at the beachfront estate of billionaire supporters Bill and Connie Neville has drawn scrutiny, especially since it is rumored that he stayed there for free. A home that goes for about $900 a night should perhaps come with a little more transparency, but that seems to be an afterthought for someone with a “D” next to his name. Meanwhile, the connections to his donation class raise significant concerns about the ethical implications of such hospitality.
With the clock ticking down to January 20, the anticipation for Biden’s departure is palpable. His legacy may not reflect the hard work of a sitting president, but rather a cavalcade of questionable decisions and an apparent indifference to American people’s struggles while basking in the glow of donor gratitude. The significant absence of leadership during his vacations signals that the unelected bureaucrats will continue to steer the ship while he enjoys the sun, a troubling thought for a nation in need of real direction.
