America, you know how to treat a president and his family.
With another Presidents' Day bachelor holiday planned by President Obama, this time golfing in California, and Aspen, Colo., resort reporters on the lookout for the annual first lady ski trip this weekend, the taxpayer's tab for the first family's vacations has topped $2.4 million.
But that's just the start. That total is just from the skimpy documents detailing travel and security expenses obtained by the public watchdog group Judicial Watch from a handful of first family vacations.

Its good to be King.
Let the peasants worry about things like food, gas and other minor things
Time for golf....and the suckers are paying for it
Sooo how many hookers are in tow?
"When times are tough, you tighten your belts. You don't go buying a boat when you can barely pay your mortgage. You don't blow a bunch of cash on Vegas when you're trying to save for college."
I remember when he said that.
He was wore out from his last vacation. The poor guy is all tuckered out. He may be without Moochelle but he’ll be getting plenty of Love on his vacay.
He doesn’t pay the mortgage on that Chicago mansion because others pay it for him. He doesn’t need to buy the boat because taxpayers are paying for all his transportation. He doesn’t need to save for college because those girls will get free rides. He can “blow” or lose in Vegas anytime he wants when the taxpayers pick up his bills.
My last vacation was 15 years ago.
Doubt I get their again, but I stored up a lifetime of memories.
Every time Obama vacations, I thank God for his laziness. I just wish he would spend the next three years golfing instead of working to destroy America as a free country.
In one sense you are right. Nothing comes out of his pocket. On the other hand, we are $17 trillion in debt. The financial ‘position’ of what he heads is FAR worse than that of us ordinary peasants.
Did you see the front page article in the New York Times today about how Obama spends too much time golfing? Yeah, me neither.
The American press.....paid Democrat liars.
I don’t think Obama’s presence is required for any decisions made at the White House. He’s just given summaries and talking points.
also...”If everybody took an attitude of shared sacrifice, we could solve our deficit and debt problem next week”.
