The Hawaii Reporter is on the story as the buzz in Oahu is all about the big bucks the First Family will be dropping on the taxpayer funded vacation.

…about $21,600 per home for approximately 7 houses rented … for security.

The President’s staff and White House Press Corps stay at one of Hawaii’s oldest and most elegant hotels, the Moana Surfrider.
LOCAL TAXPAYER COSTS: $260,000

But awww, he needs this break. All that hard work in Washington, and it’s getting too cold to play golf anyway.

He doesn’t care about America. Just so long as his girls have it all, the phony Br$$K
MrGoodWench commented:
Meanwhile the taxpayers are still paying for the security of their ” house” in Chicago, right ?
You know the one which they never go to ?
kato commented:

And to promote NWO reading, obama has reportedly sent 75,000 copies of Bill Ayers books TAofH and DFMF (Random House publisher) all around the world at taxpayer’s expense! 75,000 books!! Please, no more deprecating talk of the obamas’ vacations. Never bite the hand that bleeds you!

Look, a brother needs a break now and then, especially one as hard working as Barry.

Obama has opened up a world of new emotions and experiences for us all.
As an example, for the first time in my life I have come to understand the true meaning of “loathing”.
JDStone commented:
The taxpayers in Hawaii don’t care, they love the man. I’ll bet his favorable rating 65-70%. If we are lucky he won’t come back.
Nelle commented:
If he’d stay on vacation and not “work”, 4 million every 17 days would be a bargain.
Shawn commented:
What a joke! All he has done during his time in office is fund raise and tell us what a great job he has done. What really sucks is that he’ll be living off the tax payer dime the rest of his life. No wonder he’s not worried about his kids future. A much different story for you and I.

With so many of us not having a “real” Christmas, let alone proper nutrition any longer – well, at least since 2008 – I find the enormity of this family’s ability to be so out of touch with the rest of America. This further gives me the impression that after a prayed for ONE AND DONE – we do not need to worry about the next reality show – instead of Living with the Kardashians we will have Life with the Obamas.
Just think how many families that 4 Million could help this holiday season – a moral man would have thought of the citizens of this country instead of his and his families creature comforts during this most trying time of year. For so many in the worst financial situation possible since he took office it is time for this “First” family to start giving back to the taxpayers – not using what is a drop in the bucket to what we owe but could have been a God send to thousands of Americans.
There is no end to this ridiculous administrations expenses.
Paddy commented:
Obamas’ message to the nation is “this is our f–k you Christmas.
Dennis Smith commented:
His next taxpayer funded vacation should be in
a federal prison!
