When was the last time any President took a 17 day vacation? It would be one thing if any President was doing this with a roaring economy that at least he could take some credit for.
But as we all know, this president has been a complete failure from day one. And he was just in Hawaii for a fundraiser (that we paid millions for) last month.
So, from December 17 to January 2nd, the dirtbag will be back in Hawaii enjoying the weather and undoubtedly golfing numerous times while millions of Americans are worrying about how they’ll afford to buy a few meager Christmas presents for their kids.
Obama has to be the laziest a-hole ever to occupy 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. He doesn’t seem to start “working” until 10AM (GWB was always in the Oval Office at 6AM), according to the schedule posted on the White House’s website.
But of course, you won’t read this in any American newspaper. As usual, we have to go to the U.K. to find any type of criticism of Obama…
It must be nice being President…Obama to jet off to Hawaii for SEVENTEEN DAY Christmas vacation
While most Americans are lucky to get a few weeks of holiday every year, it seems the country’s leader gets a little more freedom in the matter.
President Barack Obama has announced his Christmas vacation to Hawaii – for a staggering 17-day trip.
Obama, who visited the island just two weeks ago for an economic summit, will head to Honolulu on Saturday December 17 until Monday January 2.The president, who was raised in Hawaii until he was six, will be joined by his wife Michelle and their daughters, Malia, 13, and Sasha, 10.
The White House travel office announced the president has no public events scheduled for the trip.The President’s family covers the cost of a private beach front residence in Kailua, Oahu, for their vacation- a ‘Winter White House’ that costs up to $3,500 a day, or $75,000 a month. But the local and federal taxpayers help pay the bill for travel and security.
Last year the trip cost more than $1 million, according to the Hawaii Reporter. Obama announced the trip during a campaign fundraiser on Oahu’s Leeward Coast during his stay on the island last month.
‘It is great to be home, great to feel that Aloha spirit,’ he said. ‘And Michelle and the girls will be back shortly for Christmas vacation, as we do every year. We’ll see if Washington gets its business done, so I can get here as well. But that’s always a challenge.’
It follows an 11-day stay in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, earlier this year, which is also believed to have cost the U.S. taxpayer millions.
Next week, the president will be saving a few cents by hosting a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.Obama will speak with Harper at the White House about economic competitiveness, security and key global issues.
Harper has urged Obama to support an oil pipeline from western Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast.
But the Obama administration said last month it was delaying a decision on the project until it can study new potential routes that would avoid environmentally sensitive areas in the Midwest. The decision is expected to be delayed until 2013.
Here’s the cost of last year’s trip that we paid for:
THE HEFTY HOLIDAY BILL
Last year the Obama’s Christmas trip to Hawaii cost more than $1 million. He covered the cost of his family’s accommodation, but the rest was covered by the taxpayers.
The bill to house Secret Service agents and Navy Seals in beach front accommodation stretched to $16,800.
A further hotel bill of $134,400 covered 24 White House staff staying in the Moana Hotel at a rate of $400 a day.
The estimate, by the Hawaii Reporter, also included $250,000 for local police overtime, $1 million for the president’s own round trip flight to Hawaii on Air Force One, and $10,000 for a local ambulance to accompany the presidential motorcade.
