Chump change.
When the federal budget is $4 trillion, what’s $4 million? Pocket change.
And his black constituents are cheering him on, “You go rufus. Be stickin it to whitey!”
It would be a bargain if we could convinced them to all stay on vacation. Alex Haley needs to write another “roots” fiction where the Obamas find their “roots” in Hawaii.
GOOD! Cause when he’s in DC he spends a helluva lot more than that!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!
Do they get the one free drink at the luau with that package? Maybe an upgrade to a standard sized rental car?
FOUR MILLION DOLLARS FOR A VACTION TO HAWAII!!!! Guess we’ll be firing up the old family truckster and looking at the corn palace again this year.
The incorrect apostraphes on FR are driving me crazy.”The Obamas” is plural, referring to the couple or family - so it’s the Obamas’ vacation. Also, please, it is Nazis, not Nazi’s and Kennedys, not Kennedy’s when referring to them in the plural without a possessive. Please.
Are any of the networks picking this up as a news item?
My goodness - Newt ‘earned’ $1.6 million over six years as a consultant to the Private Freddie Mac.
Maybe Fox Business channel will discuss the $5million Hawaian vacatiion as an off-shore investment portfolio.
Or maybe the Travel Channel even?
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Promoting class warfare is draining.
I see they are not letting any photos be taken. None since she left on Friday and no info on their new more expensive rental. I wondered if they left the other house so stinked up that they wouldn't rent it to them again. They have a home in Chicago. They have the WH all decorated, but off they go on our dime. They are so disgusting. Trash is trash and you can't change it.
It is Reconstruction II.
The money amounts are just numbers. Surely, somewhere in the govt archives, is a breakdown of taxes paid by state, by county, by city, alphabetically within a county, etc.
Some enterprising blogger/reporter should ferret it out and instead of saying “Costs Taxpayers $xxxxxx”, personalize it and say it “All Taxpayers in PossumTrot, AR paid for the trip, or, “All taxpayers whose last names began with ‘M’ in PossumTrot paid . . .”.
Maybe if it suddenly hit people it was THEIR money being peed away they’d start to raise Hell. Right now, with just cyphers, the politicians get away with “Well, it is only pennies each”.
But...but...Bush’s vacations were longer! /Soros media meme
The thing about Bush’s vacations is that they were all to his ranch in Crawford, which cost taxpayers nothing beyond Secret Service expenses which are automatic anyway.
it could be triple that amount and would never equal my time spent with my family, under my beautiful Christmas tree with my nativity, my prayers, my appreciate for everything we have WORKED for and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.
The obamas? Who cares where they go or what they spend. I don’t. True happiness doesn’t cost a penny and you don’t need to travel away from home to find it. I pity them.
