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. Its 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.

Michelle looks surprisingly nice in that photo. She must have just come back from the groomers.
That doesn’t count for TWO AF1’s, Hauling 3 Marine Ones on cargo jets, all of the vehicles, all of the personel, the fighter jet escorts, a C-5 to haul Moochies big ass, probably a separate flight for the dogs, a G550 round trip to South America for Barry and Malia’s party favors...
It is long past time that Congress stop funding presidential vacations.
Bump! Merry Christmas All!
ROFL!
Hmmm... interesting how the two sisters look nothing alike. Different mothers and fathers maybe?
I’d love to see a big wave wash them away
Exactly. Forever symbolic of the Obama-era GOPe Congress’ continually rolling over for King And Queen Obama.
They should’ve given him the same dollars Bush spent and let Obama complain about their lack of ocean views.
Would’ve made an appropriate commercial in 2012 if there was a courageous GOP opposition then.
I think Free Republic is about the only place Obama’s vacation costs are brought. I think the total is over a billion and half. We freaking deserve it for voting him in twice. Libs think the government has money to spend and especially on them. Grifters one and all.
Or maybe this...
George Hussein Onyango Obama,
Senator Barack Obama's long lost
brother was tracked down living in
a hut on the outskirts of Nairobi
Senator Barack Obama's long lost brother has been tracked down for the first time living in a shanty town in Kenya, reports claimed
Mr Obama, 26, the youngest of the presidential candidate's half-brothers, spoke for the first time about his life, which could not be more different than that of the Democratic contender.
"No-one knows who I am", he told the magazine, before claiming: "I live here on less than a dollar a month."
