CNN: For Biden, the White House is 'a Monday-through-Friday kind of place'
(CNN)Beginning in 1973, when he was a United States Senator from Delaware, Joe Biden had a ritual: nearly every evening he would hop a train back to Wilmington after his work day on Capitol Hill, spending most nights and weekends at the place he considered home, 100 miles from Washington.
Doing so earned him the nickname "Amtrak Joe," and in 2011, the Wilmington depot was renamed the Joseph R. Biden Jr. Railroad Station. In all, he took more than 8,000 of those roundtrips during his 36 years in the Senate and, though less frequently, his eight years as vice president, no small feat for a busy politician.
Turns out old habits die hard.
Since taking office four months ago, the President has spent more weekends away from the White House than he has stayed there, almost three times as many. Counting this Memorial Day weekend, Biden has been in Wilmington nine weekends and passed five weekends at the presidential retreat, Camp David, in rural Maryland. The numbers far exceed any modern president's weekends off-campus at this point in his tenure.

May 27th was a busy day for China Joe.
He toured a community college for a whole 25 minutes and gave a a 43 minute TOTUS speech fooled by ice cream.
Such bennies and perks as president. He gives them a 43 minute speech and he gets ice cream!
That was his day outside of travel on Air Force One.

1 hour and 8 minutes of brain work and he gets ICE CREAM!
No serious business is a Monday through Friday affair. While team members only work Monday through Friday, management/leadership works at least six days a week and is on call seven days a week. Essentially our leadership class is non serious about anything except perhaps stealing elections.
Please tell us coke bottle glasses of doing this so called round the clock work. Name a job and the place?
