Imagine the outrage if any Republican President went on vacation during a recession and spent $4,000 a night on accommodations......

With millions of Voters out of work at Christmas.

The way they spend, I mean their own family budget, they are going to blow all that book money real quick.

[aliquando]

Why not their own home, like Bush did? Too good for Chicago now?

[bray]

My son’s friend’s parents own the complex in HI. Worth something like 30 Million. Same one as last time.

It may be his money, but the flight isn’t. It’s our money. And this jerk deserves a two week vacation, with pay, while millions are broke and out of work?

[ErnBatavia]

Does the estate have a smoking section?

[Always Right]

I guess this is how Obama thinks he can raise his B+ to an A.

President's Christmas getaway is on the market, and one realtor says the President has expressed some interest in buying it

Where's Rezko? Somehow we're going to be footing the bill. Just how many of those "family and friends" did we get to pay for? I can't imagine why, but we weren't able to afford a summer or Christmas vacation this year.

[Sacajaweau]

Sure miss President Bush. Wishing them all good things for the year. The same Marry Christmas to our troops.

To Mr. Obama....When he cares...I'll care. Never seen such selfishness.

[Right Wing Assault]

Why not their own home, like Bush did? Too good for Chicago now?

He's a warm climate guy. Indonesia, Hawaii. Golf.

[EBH]

And don’t forget all the security...

[don-o]

The President has two weeks to soak in the serenity

Does Barry need a 12 step program?

[bgill]

With millions of Voters out of work at Christmas.

And those who do have jobs are getting their hours cut. DH had been working four days a week and was told yesterday they're being cut down to three days.

[chessplayer]

“With millions of Voters out of work at Christmas.”

Yup. And he rubs their faces in it.

[driftdiver]

What ever gives you the idea they are paying for their vacation?

[ProtectOurFreedom]

...we weren't able to afford a summer or Christmas vacation this year.

Work Harder, CItizen! Dear Reader and his pals in Congress need you to Work Harder!

[lack-of-trust]

We are paying for all of it. Between what they charge the SecServ and what they charge back for the Presidential staff (aids, guy with football etc) the Obama’s may even turn a profit on the trip.

Remember Bill and Hill’s free home on New York. They charged the SecServ rent to set up a comand post in the garage (both get SecServ coverage) and the rent = mortgage payment.

[metesky]

Bill Clinton mooching his way around the Vineyard crowd is starting to look good.

[gusopol3]

Looking at #18, maybe I was naive.
