Why does it matter? Maybe he is staying there for free as a special guest? Who really knows and why should we care? I hope the Obama's had a great time!

Or even cooler, maybe Michelle treated her family to a nice trip since she had a salary and may have saved for such an occassion!

see the difference between what your talking about is the usage of RNC money not her own. Palin was spending RNC money, the outrage was stirred by the RNC and then it took off from there.

Obama isnt using DNC money thats the difference, and just because its an 8 milli house do not mean thats what he paid.. and why are you still talking about palin lol she was the vp not the presidential hopeful

Get it right

I agree with you, even after the longest presidential race in history, he never stopped. I will venture to guess that once in office he will not take nearly as many vacas a W has taken. He and his family need the down time.

As for the home they are staying in- as Saganista posted- security is a top priority. What, they should have booked a timeshare?!

Indeed he did

So the house is worth $8 million... It's nice to know that real estate is holding its value somewhere.

Done what?

Rented an expensive house? No, no uproar.

Pretended she was actually elected and rented an expensive house with taxpayer's money?....yes, uproar.

Gosh, I wonder if that could have something to do with the fact that the Palins tried to pull off an "average joe" persona?

Did the Obamas try to pull off an "average joe" persona, or did they portray themselves as two Harvard-educated successful lawyers?

I think you know the answer to those questions, but you just couldn't resist swinging and missing.
