president Vay-cay strikes again.

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

The plane isn’t big enough to haul fat a**, another multi million dollar junket.

Once again scramming from another Christian holiday. Just like a devout Muslim.

grifter...

he hasn’t been, isn’t and will never be my P_esident.

I can’t wait for the day I’m like that old veteran in the joke who keeps going back to the WH to be told that he’s no longer the President.

And we thought he’d just left (APEC in mid November) - dang, back again?! Wish he’d go back to Martha’s Vineyard and disrupt their traffic instead of ours. I feel especially bad for the tour pilots who can’t go anywhere near the “restricted airspace” where the Man who would be King might be staying. The slobbering local media had a grand time oohing and ahhhing over Michelle going to a gardening project on the Rio Linda side of the island.

According to the Daily Mail, the president’s family covers the cost of a private beach front residence in Kailua, Oahu, for the span of the vacation, reportedly dubbed a ‘Winter White House’ that costs up to $3,500 a day, or $75,000 a month.

Still, taxpayers help foot the bill for security and travel costs: A similar vacation last year cost more than $1.4 million.

As far as I'm concerned, this is good news, not bad. Let him go to Hawaii and stay here. The more he's out of DC, the less I hear from him and the happier I am.

Aloha and good riddance.

Why does he have to go all the way to Asia to vacation? Couldn't he just hang out in one of the 57 states?

I do hope he and Michelle can stand to travel on the same plane together this time!

I really don't begrudge the guy a vacation (and, to be fair, the President is never really on vacation) - but this seems to me to be a REALLY bad time to be 6 hours behind D.C. time - too much going on. Eurozone. Middle East.

I guess all his staff will have to hang around until 3 a.m. to see whether they get summoned by the One? What a sport!

I have LOTS of things I can attack Obama for - but the fact that a modern President needs so much security really is not his fault. My grandmother used to tell me about Teddy Roosevelt occassionally stopping to talk to her when he was walking to church (she was a child at the time). Two Secret Service agents accompanied him most of the time. It's unthinkable nowadays that a President could walk over a mile in DC on a regular basis without major security. Not really the fault of the President.
