Like many families, the Obamas will head home to celebrate the holidays, but odds are their flight will cost slightly more than your typical Christmas airfare.
According to Judicial Watch, it costs aproximately $206,000 per hour to operate Air Force One. Factor in the 18 hours of round-trip airtime, and it looks like the Obamas’ Dec. 18th flight to Hawaii and return after the New Year will cost an astounding $3.7 million, with American tax payers footing the bill.
Earlier in 2015, President Obama took three “unnecessary†golf and family vacations, costing tax payers $3,115,688.

Global warming alert!
Shows how little they actually care about the ‘greenhouse effect’ or the taxpayers.
Are we absolutely certain they are not taking 2 planes-—they did that when they both flew from Washington DC to Los Angeles on the same day for separate appearances on TV.
2planes-—nothing ARROGANT about these two is there (s).
Cheap, if they stay there!
Was it last year or year before, the White House announced that Baracks present to Michelle was to let her stay in Hawaii longer, after he and the daughters returned to Washington from their Hawaii vacation? I seem to recall how odd, a supposedly loving couple announcing they want more time apart after their vacation?
You wonder what type of marriage the two of them have.
Why do the Obamas never return to Chicago for vacation or holiday time???
I would like to know the Congressional language, law, etc that allows the CoC and his family to live and travel like billionaires without bound. Somebody please point out that law.
And we paid our own way, except for the use of the condo. We did pay for cleaning it.
Why do we have to pay for the "Christmas" vacay for a stupid muslim?
“The Obamas’ Christmas-Hawaii Plane Tickets Will Cost Tax Payers $3.7 Million”
The Fraud’s worshippers would defend 10 times that expenditure.
That first sentence is completely incorrect. They’re not celebrating any holiday they’re celebrating ripping off the taxpayers.
What good is suckering the voters into giving you a second term if you can't use it to reign like a king?
This calculation assumes that they will make the trip in only one plane.
“I seem to recall how odd, a supposedly loving couple announcing they want more time apart after their vacation”

That’s not a big deal. Lots of people do that occasionally if a spouse wants to spend some time with old friends.
The big deal here is that the taxpayer had to pay for 2 flights home.The arrogance of the Obamas knows no bounds.
.
.
they spend $1.5 BILLION dollars on themselves every single year- by the time they leave office, they will have spent $12 BILLION dollars on themselves
Let them (That would be us) eat cake.
“Obamas will head home”
Isn’t Illinois Obamas’ home?
That is not including the support C-17 that carries the presidential limo and helicopter.
He just wants to eat his waffle and his shaved ice.
“I would like to know the Congressional language, law, etc that allows the CoC and his family to live and travel like billionaires without bound. Somebody please point out that law.”
I’m sure someone in Congess will introduce a bill that would force presidents to pay for all of their vacation travel out of their own pocket.
