Mele Kalikimaka: Tax Payer Christmas Gift to the Obamas - $470k A DAY Hawaiian Vacation

He goes to both. He was BORN and raised in Hawaii. Nothing wrong with vacationing at your childhood home.

Care to tell me when the Obama's EVER vacationed in Chicago? I may have missed it.

Gosh, you mean the Faux Noise machine doesn't cover it if he doesn't go to some foreign land like Hawaii? Color me shocked.

Oh, look...Faux did cover a Chicago trip...to try to slam him for not going to Arlington one Memorial Day naturally.

Stressed Out or Tone Deaf? Obama Chicago Vacation Raises Eyebrows

And outside the bubble...

Business or pleasure: Of 25 Chicago visits, 7 of Obama's trips have been for policy

It is difficult to pay any attention to an asshole that doesn't know how to spell FOX.
On edit: " Since the president's inauguration in 2009, he has made it back home to Chicago 25 times. The vast majority of those visits were for campaign events and fundraisers, but he also has given a handful of speeches on issues affecting the nation as a whole, such as income inequality and school shootings."

So? He still goes back multiple times. He's in Chicago, spending time. He goes to Hawaii once, maybe twice a year.

I did spell Faux right. Heres another one I can spell right ODS.

Fortunately, we're not going to be able to see for a very long time, at least 8 years, how folks like you, upset over President Obama's vacations, would react to a Republican presidents vacations...but we can guess.

Bush went home to Texas for his vacations where he had been Governor for 8 years. Big difference.

Really? Every time huh? He and the wifey never went anywhere else? Have you done a side by side comparison of Presidential vacations and their taxpayer costs? Which President spent more on vacations?

Did you know that Presidents have to pay for their own expenses except for travel and security?

Of all the places in the world i can't imagine a vacation in Crawford Texas.

Obama takes one trip to Hawaii a year vs the dozens taken by Bush to Crawford
Obama takes one trip to Martha's Vineyard while Bush would take trips to the family compound in Kennebunkport

I will leave that up to the Bush haters.
 
Presidents go on vacation and the taxpayers foot the bill for the travel and security associated with it. Get over it. Or don't. It doesn't really matter.

Why does he have to go to Hawaii for vacation? Bush went to his own ranch in Texas or to Camp David for most of his vacations. Why doesn't Obama go to his own house in Chicago where all of the friends he had as an adult still live?

Because he's from Hawaii (which is in the United States, birthers) Next stupid fucking question.

He spent 14 years of his youth in Hawaii and a lot more than that in College and Chicago.

Why didn't he go home to Hawaii to run for public office instead of Chicago?

Racism in Hawaii, obviously. He could never get elected because he doesn't look like anybody else.

Therefore Obama should be vacationing in Chicago where he was a state senator and US Senator for many more years than Bush was governor.
 
The hard-working, tax-paying citizens of the United States, many of whom don't even get to take A vacation each year just 'ponied up' approx. $70 MILLION hard-earned tax dollars for the Obama's to take yet ANOTHER multi-million dollar vacation...Merry Christmas, '1st Family'.

They're 17-Day vacation last year cost tax payers OVER $8 MILLION ($8,098,060.33)
- $91,751.78 in car rental expenses
- $224,974.05 in accommodation expenses
- $7,781,361.30 in-flight cost (36.9 hours at $210,877 an hour)

- $317,000 in Secret Service expenses (2013 figures)

The cost of their 7 total vacations to Hawaii so far could reach $50 MILLION...with 1 more potentially to go.

The known total expense to the American taxpayers thus far for all Obama travel is now $70,880,035.78.

"It is nice to know that Obama's 'tradition' of Christmas vacations in Hawaii comes courtesy of overburdened taxpayers."
-- Socialism is AWESOME for those 'ruling' at the top...as long as they don't run out of other people's money.

Mele Kalikimaka: Taxpayer's gift to Obama is $470,000 a day Hawaiian vacation

And almost all of that was security costs.

Once again, Conservatives shit themselves whenever the first family is protected. Odd, they didn't seem to be as concerned when it was Bush and his family being protected. Despite the fact that Bush took 3 times the vacation.

Literally.

Crawford and Kennebunkport were probably much less expensive because the facilities were already secure as opposed to being in private accommodations.

Just for grins:

"President George W. Bush has expressed fond memories of his childhood home on W. Ohio (Texas) where he attended nearby Sam Houston Elementary School and then San Jacinto Junior High. He began high school in Houston, Texas, at Kincaid High School and then followed in the footsteps of his father by completing his high school education at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts. President Bush received his bachelor’s degree from Yale University in 1968, then served as a fighter pilot in the Texas Air National Guard. Bush next received a Master of Business Administration from Harvard Business School in 1975. After receiving his degree Bush moved back to Midland and began a career in the oil industry. In 1977, Bush married Laura Welch, a teacher and librarian and a native of Midland. They have twin daughters, born in 1981, Jenna Welch Bush and Barbara Pierce Bush.

George W. Bush worked on his father’s successful 1988 presidential campaign and then organized the purchase of the Texas Rangers baseball franchise in 1989 with a group of partners. He was the managing general partner of the Texas Rangers until he was elected Governor of Texas on November 8, 1994. He became the first Texas governor to be elected to consecutive four-year terms when he was reelected in 1998.

Following the 1999 Texas legislative session, Governor Bush began his presidential campaign. Following a contested election on November 7, 2000, Bush was declared the winner on December 13, 2000. He resigned from the governorship on December 21, 2000, to prepare for the Presidency. George W. Bush was inaugurated as the 43rd President of the United States on January 20, 2001.

Because you think Bush took more vacations and therefore likely cost "the taxpayers" more overall? Yeah, I can see why you wouldn't want to find that info for yourself.

You really should get that narcolepsy problem looked at before you drive off the road whilst sleeping....

I think he meant "per year".

Here in lies the problem you have with Democrats being mad Obama went on vacation.

All of us Democrat and even Independents have made so much money during the Obama Presidency that we dont mind if HE takes a vacation.

Because we are all going on a vacation as well.
Cause we were smart enough to make money under Obama.

And evidently, you Republicans were to stupid to benefit from his time in office.

Take a vacation Obama. You earned it. I will be doing the same soon. And thanks. Enjoy yourself.
Wilbur, I am glad YOU made money during the Obama administration; however, YOUR situation does not reflect the average American household / family.

Real Household Incomes Fall 5.9% Under Obama
Real Household Incomes Fall 5.9% Under Obama - Breitbart

"Economic recoveries are historically known for big gains in “real” (after inflation) household income. But for most American households there has been no economic recovery during the Obama Administration because of chronic falling wages, according to data from the dshort.com website. For the first time in American history during a supposed economic expansion, real after tax income fell by -5.9%. "

Easy

I will give you that Republican middle class people have and are struggling.

That is what I said first.

But who do you really blame that on? Obama?

Why would I and people like me, as middle class as there is, do better than fine under Obama and others such as your self not do so well?

I say it is entirely based on decisions made by the peope effected. And had next to nothing to do with Obama.

However it is hard for me to hate Obama when I have done as well as I have during his adminastration.

And for those that have done better than me and claim to hate Obama, that makes no sense.

But if a person is struggling and thinks there is no way forward, blaming Obama is better than blaming yourself.
'REPUBLICAN Middle Class people' are struggling?!

So the entire Middle Class isn't taking it in the shorts under Obama, just the 'Republican' Middle Class?
WT*?! LOL!

How is security for the President 'the middle class taking it in the pants'? Conservatives didn't complain when Reagan kept flying across the country to the deserts of California for vacations. Or complained when Bush took 2 months off a year. Or even when Clinton took his vacations.

But something about Obama and his family being protected makes conservatives lose their shit.

Huh. Wonder what the difference could be.
