Obama modest vacation
Looks like Barry, Mo and the kids are going to Hawaii for a small vacation. Seeing how his administration isn't getting anything done might as well go on vacation. Talk about rubbing it in the faces of the people suffering from this continued recession. The president is paid only $400,000 per year and is taking a 4 million dollar vacation as an additional benefit??? I wonder how many of these vacations he takes. Seems to me that he is always going somewhere other than to work.
HERE THEY GO AGAIN
Obama Hawaii Vacation Costs Tax Payers $4 Million;
The Obamas will once again vacation in Hawaii over the holidays this year, but this time it will be a bit more expensive than previous trips. The Hawaii Reporter writes that the President and First Lady's separate trips to Hawaii (Michelle and the girls arrived Friday; check out photos of President Obama arriving last year here) as well as the extended stay of the vacationwill cost American tax payers nearly $4 million, roughly $2.5 million more than the President's 2010 trip. The Hawaii Reporter states that the Obamas are not staying at the "Winter White House" (check out video of it here) this year and instead have rented and paid for their own accommodations in the form of a beach front rental on Kailua. The President's staff and White House Press Corp will be put up at the Moana Surfrider, a Westin resort on Waikiki Beach. Kailua is a popular community on Oahu and boasts a beach that was rated as the best beach in the country by "Dr. Beach" in 1998. Obama, for his part, has stated that he will postpone his trip for "as long as it takes" Congress to extend payroll tax cuts and unemployment insurance, according to the Associated Press. Take a look at photos from previous Obama family vacations in Hawaii and let us know your favorites! CORRECTION: A previous iteration of this article stated that Kailua is an island of Oahu. It is not; it is a community on Oahu.

That shouldn't surprise anyone; he's a mooch! Typical liberal having someone else pickup the tab...
I really want to say something else but I'm sure I'd be thown off here.. And most of you know what I'm talking about. You're probably thinking the same thing.

You read my mind completely...but to be more 'politically correct' and not stoop the the level of a demokrat, I'll just say he's just an effing blood-sucking parasite and leave it at that.

This is the best they have ever had it. They are living large...The American Dream. He could have done it 2 ways....win the lottery or win the presidency. Neither one would last more than a few years.

He certainly isn't niggardly when it comes to spending tax dollars on himself.

There is nothing new with the cost. The real difference with the current President vs the most recent one was the more frugal nature of Bush. He and his family spent more time with their family in Texas which meant the automatic SS protection was done at a greatly reduced cost.
Obama was raised with a silver spoon being used to feed him as a baby, and was taught by his extremely wealthy family to not worry about costs. Which is whay we are seeing huge costs to protect him and his wife as they go to the locales that the super rich like to go to all the time.

Interesting. I had not known he came from a rich family, only that he was a bastard child of a muslim and a communist slob. I can't even say that was accurate either, as I do not know if in fact his mother and father were married. But one thing is for certain...this pig has succeeded in fooling his idiot minions into believing he's a child of the ghetto, is working for 'everyone', and has the people's best interests at heart. That is as far from the truth as one can get because he's NOT a child of the Ghetto (he's a limousine liberal who wipes his feet when he leaves the ghetto to go home), he works for nobody but himself (the tax break is like a beer to an alcoholic, as it takes from the elderly and defunds SS...funny you do'nt hear that, only that he's for a tax break for the middle class...pig !), and the interests he has at heart is the destruction of this country by destroying it's financial backbone and decaying it's moral fiber. All in all, a POS, but not as big of a POS as the vast septic tank of collective crap that put him in power and scrabble to keep him there. There is only ruin in this president.
Obama comes from a very wealthy family. The most time he spent in the ghetto was when his family's limousine drove by/through it on the way from the manor to the destination and back.
He spent his entire educational K-12 time in expensive private schools.
