Add 200 million per day on his last trip and I would say he has broke the bank this year with the spending on vacations.
I believe he needs a vacation but not every other month and not spending millions of dollars at the time when the economy is worse then any time since the depression.
I do not mind him taken a vacation with his family but this spending and amount of vacations is way over the line.
People living in tents and going hungry and he goes and spends millions on a vacation.
His judgment is very poor to say the least.
That 200 Million per day thing was made up. Didn't stop FOX from reporting it though (despite it having no source), of course...
Oh please, don't start that again. Last time you put up the actual passage, it proved my point, not yours. A total humiliation, btw.
Of course the president will have SS protection wherever he goes, but at Camp David, where Bush spent EVERY single Xmas, the detail would be less than the security and staff/personnel needed to go traipsing to Hawaii on a luxury vacation, taking the SS personnel and staff AWAY from their families on Xmas AND New Years.
What an arrogant, selfish little man he is.
san please even at the ranch for bush his SS were away from their family on xmas and new years. the detail you imagine would be less may not be. the area where obama and his family are is pretty well secured and private. I am sure the house was picked especially for that reason. because it could be secured without too much trouble

Nestled in three luxury beachfront homes just outside a local favorite surf spot on the pristine turquoise waters of Kailua Bay,President Barack Obama and his family and friends are enjoying a seemingly quiet Christmas vacation,,,,
Can't we just pull up last year's thread.
I mean, nothing has changed...
Same made up outrage, same refusal to look at Bush being on holiday for over 1/3 of his presiduncy.
It's only bad because it's Obama and Faux/Beck saying so.

He wasn't at his ranch, he was at Camp David for every Xmas. Now CD is just a hop, skip and a jump from the WH, so those on security detail @ CD were basically "home". And knowing Bush and his thoughtfulness, I'm sure the SS took staggered hours so they COULD be home with their families.
Obama the selfish, arrogant little man will have none of that. He couldn't care less if he drags the SS and a plethora of other staff and personnel to Hawaii, away from their families.
