For the last time, taxpayers are paying for a Hawaiian Christmas vacation for President Obama and his family, an annual luxury getaway that has cost the Treasury easily more than $35 million over eight years.
Golfing on oceanside courses, dining at high-end restaurants and frolicking on stunning white-sand beaches where security guards keep other tourists at bay, the president and his family are in the midst of a 17-day holiday that requires dozens of Secret Service agents, military personnel and other government employees to guarantee their safety and ease of travel around Oahu.
The Obamas are once again renting a multimillion-dollar oceanfront home in Kailua, a town on the northeast side of the island where houses in the neighborhood fetch around $10 million. It’s near golf courses and a Marine Corps base where the president goes for morning workouts at the gym.
One plantation-style house in Kailua touted online as the “Obama winter White House” is listed for sale for $8 million, featuring more than 7,000 square feet of interior space, 5.5 bathrooms, five bedrooms, a rock-walled pool and waterfall, three lanais (porches) and majestic ocean views.

How come when the 0dunga's take a vacation in Dec., it's a "CHRISTMAS" vacation, but for anyone else in the eyes of the Enemedia it would be a "HOLIDAY" vacation.. Hmmm?
Down to the very end, the media continues their subliminal campaign to paint the 0dunga's as CHRISTIAN. You fool NO ONE, media. NO ONE!
The bastard could stay there forever as far as I am concerned. I cannot wait till his policies are ripped out. Hawaii eh. The POS had not lived there since the early 80s. Why not Kenya. He has more history there. He starts and ends as nothing more than a wise mouthed corner barker.
The Obamas have had such a tough life. It must be hard to live like that in “rasis” America.
Hey, it’s just text payer dollars.
If you think of it as reparations it’s no problem.
The Lowly Proles drive to pay
35$mil could buy a whole lot of warm coats for (real or imaginary) poor peeps, could it not?
Well this turkey has gotten more than his share of reparations, he and mooch should start doling it out.
Are you suggesting that the GOP Congress did not appropriate the money for these vacations?
scumbag grifters
There’s never an erupting volcano handy when you need one, is there?
*SMIRK*
35 million each sounds low.
A small price to pay, considering how much damage he could have done while in Washington.
Congress needs to put a limit on how much the POTUS can spend on their vacations that they don’t need. What’s wrong with Camp David? Not ritzy enough for the royal family?
