It must be nice being President... Obama to jet off to Hawaii for SEVENTEEN DAY Christmas vacation
Daily Mail UK ^

Posted on 12/03/2011 4:36:12 AM PST by sunmars

While most Americans are lucky to get a few weeks of holiday every year, it seems the country’s leader gets a little more freedom in the matter.

President Barack Obama has announced his Christmas vacation to Hawaii – for a staggering 17-day trip.

Obama, who visited the island just two weeks ago for an economic summit, will head to Honolulu on Saturday December 17 until Monday January 2.

The president, who was raised in Hawaii until he was six, will be joined by his wife Michelle and their daughters, Malia, 13, and Sasha, 10.

The White House travel office announced the president has no public events scheduled for the trip.

The President's family covers the cost of a private beach front residence in Kailua, Oahu, for their vacation - a ‘Winter White House’ that costs up to $3,500 a day, or $75,000 a month.

But the local and federal taxpayers help pay the bill for travel and security.

Stalin spent much of his time at his dachas letting his terrified (of instant death from his even whimsical displeasure) underlings to maintain the regime's bureaucracy and Marxist agenda.

There is no rest for the wicked they say and Obama is all about destroying established axioms like that and the one called American exceptualism

HE'S OFF TO ASIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously is this family for real? I guarantee that this is down to his misses and MIL who want to get away from DC and not celebrate Christmas much like the last time he went there. Before some troll mentions Bush off to his ranch then remember it IS HIS RANCH. This too after he tells congress that they should stay in DC and work, ARF The man and his wife are getting worse if that was possible at their hypocrisy and arrogance. They know the media are covering for them and so they tell people what to do while they do the opposite. HATE OUR CORRUPT BIASED MEDIA

yes I have noticed.

Come a Christian holiday and they disappear so they don’t and can’t be seen not celebrating it.

Like last year when fat bum told staffers she did not want the nativity scene.

Will he be going to church over in ASIA ARF?

Talking points have been given out to the media, big bum Michelle has rounded up her family from Chicago,well the ones not living in the white house yet> and now they are set to piss off on our dime with all the distant family to not celebrate Christmas.

There might be a college kid you see every two weeks with a sticker on their little pee wee car or the aging hippy in their Prius but his stickers are very few and far between infact I still see more Bush stickers here than zero ones

“The president, who was raised in Hawaii until he was six,”.... LOL.....hmmmm!! Only until he was 6? Where was he raised after the age of 6. I notice they don’t say where he was born, just “where he was raised until the age of 6. Interesting choice of words, hmmm.

I’d like to know when’s the last time a pres. took a 17 day vacation?

I seem to recall that Sick Willie Clintoon took a 3 week trip to China toward the end of his regime.

The Chinese didn't eeem to know what to do with him, and he flitted from town to town.

He wasn't popular here and was just getting "away".

we pay zero to go to schools and have kids miss a day of education.
We pay him to tour factories where they have green jobs or unions.

We pay him to read a TV screen and tell us how half of this country is wrong, lazy not caring, racist, bible thumpers, rednecks and how great islam is.

We pay him to go and take his free loading family and distant family of his fat bum wife on vacations on our dime.

We pay him to play golf at every chance and bring celebrities in to the white house or tell his aides to go outside of the white house to meet radicals, union leaders and socialists so they are not on the white house sign in sheet.
That is what we pay him for

exactly
what man would think his birth place is on another continent.

He has got his far ass wife to load up the distant family in Chicago and the MIL who lives with them in the white house.

They go away to HI where no one can see if they go to a church or even do anything to celebrate Christmas.

The tree goes up the decorations goes up the nativity scene goes up though fat ass wanted it not put up and they get out of town AGAIN

Your post is more profound than many think.

The “What Me Worry?” president we now have could not exist without powerful puppeteer's controlling his bureaucracy and pushing his agenda. Sad that the crowning glory and greatness of the English speaking people which is America--begun with Alfred The Great--is now ending with Alfred E Newman

Big Media tells us the job is too big for just one man.

He needs all the vacay time he can get.

Destroying a superpower like ours is tough work.

I just spent MY Saturday morning cleaning my house while I prepare to go to work tonight until 9 p.m. Tomorrowe we go to church, and then it starts all over again on Monday. No hopes of vacation for us, as we are in too much debt due to college tuitions, upside mortgate, and higher taxes, to include the mortgage interest we CANNOT deduct from our upside down home which we rent out.

No hope of a vacation — and my hands are drying out from all the cleaning products. HOwever, can I afford a manicure? Heck no — gave up manicures to “cut costs” out of the family budget.

I wonder if Michelle Obama EVER does the dishes, pushes a vaccum, dusts, cleans out closets, washes clothes?

Why the HELL do these people “need” a vacation??? I don’t get it.

It’s middle classed hardworking exhausted people like US who need the vacations — not the pampered Obamas who get to live in a mansion complete w/ cooks and maids everyday. I mean — these people are just like PIGS at a trough.

It just makes me sicker the more I think about it.
