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.

president Vay-cay strikes again.

Meanwhile most people can barely afford to take a long weekend off to do chores around the house.

I’d spend a few days on the Big Island, a few on Maui, and Kauai,, and Molokai too.

Does Bo get to go too? Heck why not . O’s taking everybody else.. Hawaii used to have tough pet laws.. quarantines and such. The Secret Service must love this gig..

That's his agenda and many are STILL stuck on stupid and willing to accept another 4 years.

Wasn’t it just last week where O was bragging about how he works every day, 6am to 9pm? Yeah. Not that I’m complaining: his slacking off can’t possibly be more destructive than the times he’s “hard at work”.

6? he was adopted @ 4 and then they moved to indonesia until he was 10

revising the time line a bit?

It’s funny how he always choses places where there is lots of “global warming” to spend his Christmas vacations.

I’ve been to that very spot a few times.
