Everyone Must Sacrifice… Barack & Michelle Obama to Take 17 Day Holiday Vacation to Hawaii
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, December 2, 2011, 11:00 PM
In January 2009, before the president signed his failed $787 billion stimulus bill into law, Barack Obama lectured America saying,
“Everyone must sacrifice for the greater good… Everyone must have some skin in the game.”
Everyone but Barack and Michelle Obama.
The Obamas will enjoy a 17 day holiday vacation this year.
On Saturday, December 17th, 2011, the President will travel to Honolulu, Hawaii. He will return to Washington, DC on Monday, January 2nd, 2012… No public events are scheduled during the trip.
Happy Holidays.

Poor thing! He’s probably still suffering from jet lag from the Australian boondoggle. He needs a break!

How may Christmases did the Obummers spend in Hawaii before the taxpayers picked up the bill?

Just-saying!!! There-in lies the EXPLANATION for Obama Von Dimwttenburg!!! SOMEONE ELSE……has ALWAYS PAID his bills.

That whole damn “family” should go on a permanent vacation.
Hugh commented:
Appalling. Out of touch. What a loser.
gus commented:
Redwine?? Winning the AFFIRMATIVE ACTION LOTTERY, in November 2008, created the OBAMA FAMILY’S permanent vacation.
Obama will be schit canned in a year. Then he will make tons of money and golf golf golf.
His crass, money grabbing, and profiteering, while espousing MARXIST principles, will make Bill Clinton look like a PAUPER.
Wallyworld001 commented:
“Let them eat cake” in the very words of Marie Antoinette. Apparently Barry slept thru class on the day that the French Revolution was being discussed in class. He and Michelle have no class at all and I hope they enjoy going back to Asia for Christmas. Maybe he can learn Jingle Bells in Arabic at least since he does not know the words to any Christmas songs in English. Why don’t they ever go back to their “free” home that they “bought” for a song. At least Bush vacationed back in Crawford. What a waste of human life……….

We are meant to believe it’s “home sweet home,” but there are too many of us who are intelligent enough to know otherwise.
Kermit the Frog commented:
I cannot blame him, when was the last time they fresh mahi-mahi?
Rachelle commented:
I would beg my Congressman to double the Kenyan’s pay if he stays on vacation for the rest of his term.
Give him the WH drapes and silverware too, although Moochelle will probably take them anyway.
Kermit the Frog commented:
typo -when was the last time they HAD fresh mahi-mahi?
Aside from that – why does Barry keep going to Hawaii, not like he has family there, he only spent a couple years in H.S. there (as far as we know), never a job there, didn’t bother getting a SSN there, he has NO roots there… trying to reinforce his birth record? Or just trash getting a free Hawaiian gettaway every few months or so?
jennifer commented:
Yes. The answer is yes. I absolutely miss George W. Bush. In fact, I also miss Bill Clinton and my goodness Jimmy Carter looks conservative at this point.
NoMoreKoolAid commented:
Really. Sacrifice? The man wouldn’t know the meaning of the word if it punched him in the nose.
jorgen commented:
Well, not long ago he said that Americans are lazy. He was apparently looking in the mirror when he said that – yeah, I know, but the Kenyan is apparently considered a real American until a relevant authority demands his birth certificate.
Response commented:
#1 – His birth certificate is real and was issued by the state of Hawaii. You can keep beating on that drum, but not even Trump’s money could disprove his birth certificate’s validity.
#2 – A president playing golf on holiday?! How unheard of!
#3 – Are you referring to his answer regarding marijuana use and whether he inhaled? He said, “That was kind of the point.” Horrible man, being honest in answer and accountable for his actions.
#4 – His message has been consistent. You realize, of course, that the Obamas are millionaires independent of any income as President.
#5 – Ah, yes. How dare he partake in a perfectly legal substance?! One, I might remind you, that wasn’t spoken ill of until the late `90′s and the early 2000′s. Hospitals had smoking areas until just a few years ago.
#6 – Most people in salaried positions get approximately a week off for Christmas. It’s so far-fetched that someone might take two weeks off. My husband will only work six days this month because he had 15 vacation days to use or lose. I guess that makes him a real bastard.
#7 – I wouldn’t be surprised if they spent every Christmas there. He was born there, grew up there, had family there, and… Well, it really is quite lovely there, don’t you agree? Btw, the Obamas were millionaires before the presidential election.
#8 – Wow, you’re ignorant. He’s a lawyer. His wife is a lawyer. He was president of the Harvard Law Review. These are not people incapable of paying their own bills.
#9 – You would wish harm on your president, his wife, and their two children? You, sir or madam, are deplorable. Still, I wish you no ill. You may not like his policies, but you should still recognize his intrinsic human value.
#10 – So, you’ll be working straight through Christmas and taking no time off to enjoy family or friends? See the reply to #6.
#11 – …
#12 – Marie Antoinette was woefully ignorant of the conditions in which the subjects were living. Barack Obama, on the other hand, has paid a great deal of attention to the issues of the American people as a collective and has consistently worked toward making improvements to our benefit (whether you like what he’s done or not is irrelevant). They go to Hawaii, most likely, because he was born and raised there. His grandmother was also a resident until her death in 2008. He has ties to the beautiful state.
My goodness, but the whole lot of you are… How did I even get here? Go read his Wikipedia entry, for your own good.
bigL commented:
He goes to Hawaii,imo, to meet folks he couldn’t/shouldn’t be seen with in D.c. Hawaii is a melting pot and if Obie is with one darker-skinned (read:islam) or another who would know.Also he can disappear for hours/days and no one would know. In Minn, he even shook the Secret Service.

I read ALL of “RESPONSE’S” comment.
This FUKTARD, is exactly what we are up-against. “RESPONSE”, isn’t smart enough to see the moronic DRIVEL, that HE/SHE is typing.
“RESPONSE’s” Frame of reference, is so lacking, in any CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS or COMMON SENSE, as to be a quite SCARY.
The INDOCTRINATION is COMPLETE.
Gay is good. Abortion should be TAXPAYER funded. And Losers are winners.

#22 – Idolize much?
The Obamas should be ashamed of themselves. There are tens of thousands, if not millions of people in this country out of work, and what kind of vacation are THEY going to take for the Holidays? And, how many vacations IS this now for the Muslim-in-Chief now? I can’t WAIT to see these people thrown out of the White House. They are an embarrassment to all Americans …
Blacque Jacques Shellacque commented:
Andrews AFB to PHNL is approximately 4,849 miles. That’s a lot of fuel to be burning in a 747 on a vacation.
maraz commented:
Could this be the reason for a sudden need to vacation in Hawaii??
Sheriff Joe’s posse delivers promised Obama surprise – Panel probing eligibility for 2012 ballot wants to see original birth certificate – “The posse wants to see the entire microfilm roll containing Obama’s birth certificate, not just a microfilm copy of Obama’s long-form birth certificate in isolation,” Corsi explained. “An individual microfilm copy could be forged, but forging the entire microfilm reel on which Obama’s birth certificate is in sequence would be almost impossible.”

The amount of nonsensical vitirol here is both repetitively tiresome and deplorable.

Sam… you’re always welcome to go post at HuffPo where no hate exists (/sarc off)

And what kind of TRUTH would that be maraz?
“Kenyan” “Muslim” “Birth Certificate”
It’s all rather pathetic. Of course, anyone who doesn’t indulge in the 2 minute hate-speech must be outcast liberal.
Wise up, you utter moron.
Bill Mitchell commented:
The optics on something like this at time when most Americans are having to cut back for Christmseriouslyas are just incredibly bad, yet he doesn’t seem to care. I mean, he MUST know this. What this tells me is that his internal polling is so bad that he knows he will lose in 2012 and wants to enjoy the perks of office while he can.
Seriously though, what exactly does he need a vacation from? Fundraising?
xiphos commented:
Everyone should take an Asian vacation at least once in their lifetime.

Maybe he is going to Hawaii because he wants to pick up his real birth certificate in person.
squeaky commented:
the starting cost for barry’s vacation will be close to $200,000 an hour for af1 and then you throw in everything else in his get-away vacation package and voila’. a good hefty part of that bill is on our back because while the obama’s may now be members of the deep pocket brigade they still have a way to go to get up to speed with the big boys. below is a parody so don’t blow a gasket……probably closser to the truth but a parody just the same………..

“.. that the Obamas are millionaires independent of any income as President.” they’re paltry millionaires in the scheme of real millionaires. we the people carry the lions share of their outings. it doesn’t take long to blow through paltry millions. there a few folks who would attest to that.

barry’s little grass shack in hawaii. now if barry could just did into his newly deep pocket maybe he could pick up a second home – one that would be more vacation friendly. more than what the palace in chicago is anyway.

Had It In Ohio commented:
Wasn’t he born Barry Soetoro? But the birth certificate had his name as Barack Obama.
I thought he changed it to BO later in life. Just asking.
Anyway, I like my President’s to love my country. He shows nothing but contempt for the USA and is cashing in monetarily – big time!
Can’t wait to see him gone!
RedBeard commented:
Let’s just accept the fact that Obama was born in Hawaii, ok? If anything different arises, I would be quite surprised.
Now, with that out of the way, let’s look at things factually, by the numbers.
1. Being born in America does NOT make a person an American, not in any sense of purpose or patriotism. Alinsky was born here. Julius and Ethyl Rosenberg were born here.
2. Barry Soetoro, aka Barack Obama, was reared as a Muslim in Indonesia.
3. Obama’s mentor in Hawaii, Frank Marshall Davis, was an avowed Communist (upper case C) and admitted child molester. It is only logical to question the imprint left on Obama’s mind by that pervert.
4. Obama attended the “church” run by Jeremiah “God D**m America” Wright for 20 years, yet claimed to be unaware of Wright’s hate-mongering.
5. Obama got his political start in the home of Bill Ayers, the domestic terrorist bomber. This is not in doubt, as Ayers himself just recently confirmed the fact. It’s fair to ask why a budding politician would associate himself with such scum as Ayers.
6. Obama has provided no information about his college career. It’s fair to ask why he refuses to do so.
7. It’s fair to call Obama a raging hypocrite. Telling us not to smoke while he continues to do so is one small issue, but a bellwether of his personality. Telling us all to sacrifice while he spends countless days on the golf course and taking lengthy and expensive vacation after vacation is another sign of an arrogant narcissist.
8. It’s true that Obama has accomplished a lot in 3 years, thanks to accomplices like the human debris of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. That is, if you consider ripping our economy and society to shreds as accomplishments. This was the plan all along. Obama is not stupid, nor incompetent; he is an uber-leftist Quisling intent upon wrecking the country and establishing collectivist government-centered society on the ashes.
9. Those who want to defend Obama must, of necessity, if they are to be taken seriously, defend his abominable agenda and lousy narcissistic personal qualities. Good luck with that.

#49 RedBeard commented:

That’s not the point.
1. Obozo should like everybody else show ID as needed for whatever needs to be proved.
2. The birth certificate probably has some very interesting information on it.

Well, I for one hope the bisexual marxist and the wookie have a great vacation. Hope he gets a few more rounds of golf in with his childhood friend who likes to patronize prostitutes.
Marie commented:
Obama and his angry wife are Grifters. Plain and simple.
RedBeard commented:
Jorgen, I’m not arguing against further investigation, but only that for the purpose of my post, I’m assuming his BC is legit.
I agree that Obama’s pathological need for secrecy is reason enough to question anything he says, does, or is.
ben commented:
I am thinking Obama is making a final decision whether or not to run for re-election in 2012.

You’ve left out the most important point. EVEN if the birth certificate is 100% legitimate – and let’s accept it as such (though I don’t believe it is) – Obama is specifically NOT eligible to be POTUS because that birth certificate lists a known foreign national as his father, making Obama a dual citizen.
And that is precisely the point of the “natural born” requirement in the Constitution. Anyone born in America is “native born” but only those born to two US citizen parents are “natural born.”

Looks like the Obama girls are not only going to succeed if America fails, they are also going to have a nice Christmas, even though Daddy is failing America.

15,000 gave up looking for work last month; that’s the population of Pittsburgh. The automatic cuts will be kicking in soon and the defense budget will be decimated. The euro is at risk of complete collapse within weeks. Things are LITERALLY exploding in Iran. Egypt just elected an the Muslim Brotherhood to run their country, Pakistan is blocking war shipments…. Yeah, a good time to take off 17 days….. Seriously, folks; I want someone to demand Obama pee in the little cup, because THAT level of disconnect HAS to be biochemically induced!

17 day long vacay, beginning the first week of December, 2012. The ‘first family’ will return to DC at the beginning of the Christmas/New Year holiday . . . ready to get busy with real work. . . Right?
Adi commented:
After so many fundraisers and after telling the Americans they gotten a little bit lazy, Barry O & Co have gotten a little bit tired – so it is time for another vacation.
On the positive side this vacation is not at some FBI convict vineyard, but rather somewhere in Asia.

To the Obamas, sacrifice means flying to vacation together on the same plane.
Ariel commented:

You have arrived at the crux of the matter. Obama is not stupid. In fact, he is quite gifted at maintaining the charade of being lazy or detached. He is neither.
Because so much of what Obama does necessarily lies beneath the surface of public awareness, he has to take constant “vacations” and weekend “golf outings” away from the spotlight where he can meet and greet with fellow travellors and kindred spirits as they discuss how to best accomplish their goals, and you outlined their goals fairly succinctly.
Remember, nothing is as it seems with these people. They have a plan, and they are well on their way toward implementing it. None of this is ocurring in a vaccuum.
Hugh commented:
#22–Not to be contentious but your responses are all very weak and seem rather mindlessly defensive. I would suggest you perhaps look at the facts, consider the realities surrounding where we are and how we got here and consider the appalling optics of repeatedly taking extended and expensive vacations, largely on the tax payers dime, when we are in a financial crises, the proportions of which haven’t been seen since the Great Depression. Isn’t this a time when the supposed leader should be “leading” by example and at least appearing to work tirelessly to save a sinking economy? I would say that is the LEAST he should do. These are not “normal” times. Is that not apparent?

#66 Well said, but entirely wasted on fools.
Fionnagh commented:
Just re-read 22. Twice. Oh my, we are SO in trouble with this pervasive lack of critical thinking. “How did I even get here?” Ma’m, I couldn’t begin to tell you, and I sincerely doubt that thrice weekly sessions would come close to unraveling that mystery. When one relies upon Wikipedia as an objective source of info, I’m afraid the cause is lost.

Response #22…..I’m just going to do what all Dems, Libs, and like yourself a brain dead , gullible useless Obamabot Marxist idiot does on an hourly basis,when confronted with facts. Which is lie, personal attacks,cheat & steal till they get their way…..
So I know that Obama is going to Hawaii to fill out his fantasies of his gay sex romps with Bwaney Frank, George Soro’s, and their new buddy that coach from Penn State (only because he brings the younger boys.)…..You don’t think he has the pics of him and his manly pecs for picking up women do you ? And I also know he’s invited to Hawaii to be everyones b!t*h…..Yeah even Moochelles.
Hey this is fun why is it that Libs and Dems are the only ones who can do this.

Jennifer commented:
Hey #22 ‘Response’ in regards to your point #8, you really have not done your homework.
Neither Obama nor his wife can practice law in Illinois or any other state for that matter. They both let their licenses expire. In Michelle’s case it was a very curious matter as to why she did not renew her law license, and seemingly was covered up by the local Chicago media. Perhaps you should do some investigative work? huh?
Robert commented:
‘I do think at a certain point you’ve taken enough vacations.’
Texas_Treeroach commented:
Most who have posted AFTER #22 recognize various possibilities for his comments.
Whether his sophomoric attempts at justifying the actions/inactions of this President comes from ignorance, or reading just enough of the Daily Kos to be a minion of liberal buffoons doesn’t really matter.
Woody Allen once said:”I took just enough philosophy in college to screw myself up for the rest of my life.”
#22 is a likely liberal who has read and understood just enough to most certainly influence in choices in the voting booth.
So, in the end, it will come down to the ugly question: Will there be enough conservative voters in 2012 to champion a meaningful change in this Government and the office of President?
If anything, #22 inspires a commitment in those who don’t think the way he does.
maraz commented:
@ RedBeard #49 December 3, 2011 at 6:46 am
Excellent breakdown… and even if we assume he was born on the steps of the D.C. capitol… he’s still not a Natural Born Citizen since the definition requires that both parents must be citizens to fullfil the definition.
Elscotem commented:
At least with Obamanation and family and the entourage he’ll have to have with him, out of DC the air will be cleaner in DC. Maybe while he’s there he could help Sheriff Joe and the Posse look for his true birth certificate on microfilm. Then no discrepancies on his Kenyan birth, sorry I mean Hawaiian. He could also start putting out feelers for a new job after the next election.
Militant Conservative commented:
Comments like #22 show a complete lack of thought and or grasp of reality.
Remember the bell curve people, half of America is at or below average intelligence.
Can you forward a guess as to #22′s place in the Bell curve?
America will not tollerate becoming what Obama is selling. We are an exceptional
country. Even most democrats hate where obama is taking us. He’s toast.
