Obama's vacations don't cost millions any more than Obama's sleeping in his bedroom costs millions. He's under SS protection regardless of where he is or what he's doing. That's not a vacation expense.
Compared to the 5 star world class resorts and Martha's vinyard that the Obamas favor on the taxpayer's dime during a terrible recession he certainly was.
Do you not recall the excessive number of vacations that GW Bush took, his daughters' partying (wasn't one (or both)arrested at some point?), and Reagan's daily naps, in addition to vacations? So...why are we picking on Obama? Let me guess...because he's too tall, and we don't like tall people? Because he's from Chicago, and we don't like Chicagoans in the White House? OH, wait, I get it; it's called the WHITE House for a reason. ....ohhh....
That mansion sure as hell is white. Very fitting name other than for racists.
The first Hawaiian one of over 15 days only cost $4 million and I don't think that penny one of that came out of their pocket. How many other vacations did they take? Many in 2011, many more than in 2010.
