(CNN)President Joe Biden decamped to Wilmington on Friday, escaping the
White House he's likened to a "gilded cage" for a weekend at his Delaware
home. It's yet another weekend away from Washington as the President has
spent a noteworthy portion of his first year in office at one of his two
Delaware homes or at Camp David, working remotely.

A CNN analysis of Biden's public schedule indicates the President has
spent a significant amount of time away from the White House, particularly
on weekends, since his January inauguration. Including this weekend's trip
to Delaware, Biden has taken 35 personal trips and spent all or part of
108 of his first 276 days in office at one of his Delaware homes or at
Camp David in Maryland. That includes partial days, like Friday -- when he
spent the day at the White House and departed in the evening.

Sixty-nine of those 108 days away from Washington were spent at his home
in Wilmington, spread over 23 visits; seven days at his Rehoboth Beach,
Delaware, beach house over two visits; and 32 days at Camp David over 10
visits.
Typically, his chopper commute from the White House to his Wilmington home
takes less than an hour, and a White House official noted that many of the
partial days included Biden departing the White House at the conclusion of
a normal workday on a Friday or returning to Washington before the start
of a workday on a Monday.

That puts Biden ahead of the pace set by former President Donald Trump,
who had spent less time at his Florida and New Jersey getaways at the same
point in his presidency than Biden has spent in Delaware.

Comparing Biden and his predecessors
While most presidents have prioritized taking time away from 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue, this is the most time a president has spent away from
the White House on personal travel at this point in the presidency in
recent history.

By comparison, Trump had spent all or part of 61 days at either his Mar-a-
Lago or Bedminster properties in Florida and New Jersey, respectively,
during the same period of time, plus all or part of nine days over four
visits to Camp David. Trump also visited other Trump-branded properties,
including his Virginia golf club and Trump Tower in New York, nearly 100
times at this point in his time in office.

At the same point in his presidency, then-President Barack Obama, who had
school-age children during his term, had taken three vacation trips
spanning all or part of 15 days, according to presidential record-keeper
and CBS News veteran Mark Knoller, including a visit to his home of
Chicago, a trip to Yellowstone National Park in Montana with his family
and a weeklong escape to Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. Obama had spent
all or part of 25 days at Camp David over ten visits at this point,
Knoller said.

And then-President George W. Bush, per Knoller's records, had taken seven
trips to Crawford, Texas, spending 27 full or partial days at his family's
Prairie Chapel Ranch in the first months of his presidency, and 19 visits
to Camp David over 57 full or partial days, for a total of 84 full or
partial days in Texas or at Camp David.

Other presidents have also made it a point to escape the confines of the
White House: George H. W. Bush spent time in Kennebunkport, Maine, during
his presidency; Lyndon Johnson also traveled to his Texas ranch; Franklin
Roosevelt frequented Warm Springs, Georgia; Ronald Reagan visited his
"Western White House" in Goleta, California; Richard Nixon went to La Casa
Pacifica in California; John F. Kennedy got away to Hyannis Port,
Massachusetts; and Harry Truman spent a portion of his presidency in Key
West, Florida, while the White House was under renovation.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the

President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed
