First lady Michelle Obama and first daughters Sasha and Malia are headed to Honolulu on Friday for a 17-day vacation — without the president.
At least for now.

How come these people NEVER go home to their multimillion Dollar home in Chicago.
Bush went OME to TX when he was on vacation. He had the Western White House he was always bad mouthed for.
Reagan had his Western White House at HOME in CA. GHWB had his Vacation Home in Kenebunkport.
LBJ went to his TX ranch Nixon staid at the White House. Carter Never left the Rose Garden. And even FDR went to his spa in GA.
Clinton was the ONLY modern President NOT to go home, because he didn’t own a home. He always went to the same vacation ONE TIME A YEAR.
These people are complete leaches. GO HOME TO CHICAGO FOR THE HOLIDAYS. OR STAY ST THE WHITE HOUSE.
Who the F takes a 17 day vacation and sends their wife on a separate private jet? Someone that doesn't pay for the trip themselves, that's who!
“I don’t take long vacations because I have too much to do at work and don’t want to get behind.”
My situation is just the opposite.
I don’t take vacations because there isn’t enough work to do and we are in the process of laying off workers, and possibly me losing my job, because of the bad economy.
Maybe Obdumbo should be thinking about it in that way as well.
No work, no job..
Isn’t that how muslim dictators travel?
W and Laura stayed at the White House for Christmas so as not to take their secret service teams away from their families on Christmas. They were an exceptional couple. God bless them.
Wow...now that’s funny...
yes
If I had the opportunity to ask one question at the president's next press conference it would be: "If you were not president would you have taken all these vacations, paid for out of your pocket?"
Ok....
convulsions and spasms have finally gone.
But I'm now going to have to figure out how to get the chunks of my spleen off of my desk
Mi$helle and the kid$ de$erve $ome time off at taxpayer expen$e.
Good point. They where and continue to be tremendous wonderful people.
“I have never been not so proud of my country as I am today”...
With or without a wax?
Go ahead Mr. President and take your vacation. The less time you spend in Washington running things the better
there's not much proof that the Loafer in Chief and Vacation Gal have EVER paid for anything out of their own pockets.
He’s staying in town to make Recess Appointments, then headed to Hawaii.
Excellent observation. I second this recommendation.

Anyone ever notice how the Obama-spawn and their taxpayer-funded private schools are off limits by The Media?
Even Web Hubbel’s daughter was a forbidden subject during the years of William the Impeached.
You knew they would figure out a way to do it again.
Have you seen how it's ownership is divided between several entities? His lawyer owns part and pays the taxes on it despite the Hussein's claiming the taxes on their 1040. A professor or lawyer type woman lives and owns the guest house. Some tax dodge entity owns another portion and I don't remember who else. Nowhere is shown Obama directly owns any of it. I don't recall that they've set one foot in it since they started squatting in the white hut. Maybe he's renting it out like Clinton did the Lincoln Bedroom.
Why is she using the transportation services provided to the ELECTED president? As far as I can tell, she was never elected to anything.
I can almost see her riding WITH the president as he travels, but no way she should be traveling by herself on the taxpayers’ dime.
