Here's the rental listing for the $9 million Hawaiian estate that President-elect Barack Obama is renting over the Christmas holiday. The five-bedroom estate rents for upwards of $3500-a-day and sits on an acre fronting Kailua Beach in Oahu.

The online listing was removed from the Hawaii's Best Rentals web site after the Associated Press yesterday reported details of the Obama vacation retreat, which was purchased earlier this year for $9 million by Kevin Comcowich, a 40-year-old Houston portfolio manager.

This is the part of the play when the hippy liberals start to hate him, and the limo liberals get jealous, right? Can I sell my seats yet?

[airedale]

Is he paying it or is his campaign as part of the transition or some other type expense?

I’m 1000% sure it’s not him paying personally.

I think the middle class could now be referred to serfs under King Obama.

Sheeeeeettt... If he can swing this (from campaign funds?) he can find a fine fine crib in Washington DC since he can’t occupy the Blair House until Jan 15th

[9YearLurker]

What do you think, does ‘Serf Edizzl79’ have a ring to it?

[dennisw]

I’m 1000% sure it’s not him paying personally......


Campaign funds or inauguration bash funds?
Or Hawaiian friends that altered his vault birth certificate?
Linda Lingel?
There is a pig roasting luau of possibilities

I'm constantly amazed at what a jerk this guy is. The media was all over the Obama’s rugrats and all giving out food to the homeless but when they are living like royalty where is the outraged media.

This is the guy that is always preaching the evils of capitalism and how he turned away from a Wallstreet career to serve the people right .... unbelievable!!!

I really want to know who is paying for this. That is obscene.

Senate seats for sale can bring in some pretty good dough. I'm sure Blago promised to give Barry a cut of the proceeds.
