Every time they go on a boondoggle, Moochie takes separate flights. Just to run up the bill on Americans because they can? More "in yo face America" moments?

I’d authorize $200K if Shelly and her devil’s spawn would STAY at a remote island location FOREVER, and keep her damned piehole shut. It would be money well spent.

Did they take the dog in a separate plane?

I'v been to Hawaii. It's no big deal. The idea that they go there every year AND the Martha Vineyard joint when people are struggling...is just plain mean.

Anyone here remember going on a luxury Christmas vacation EVERY YEAR when you were a kid??

We stayed home and visited relatives and played in the snow....BIG forts....BIG snowball wars from our well stocked fort. Didn't cost us a dime!!

What a blast my youth was....

Media Matters is touting that Bush spent more money flying to and from his ranch in Texas and that those that criticize Obama for his Hawaii jaunts haven't an argument. Anyone have any good information to refute Media Matters?

I read that Ronald Reagan used to stay in DC so his staff and secret service could be close to their families over the holidays

compare

Crawford ranch was Bush’s family HOME and the “western White House” where he did business and entertained foreign dignitaries...and where his daughter chose to be married

it was not a rented megamansion by the sea

All of these vacations, concerts, golf, etc. are payback to those evil dead white men who wrote that silly, outdated constitution.

Bunch of grifters.

Look at it this way, it isn’t real money anymore, just electronic chips created by The Bernank and Turbo Timmy.

The funny things, they both have family, and except for Mother Robinson (who is chained to a radiator in the attic), they seem to avoid them all. Don’t normal people sometimes spend holidays with their family? They are the most un-American family ever to inhabit the White House.

Bush spent time in Texas actually WORKING. He spent his time being productive.

Apart from that - anything you read from MM is regurgitated pukeage.

I doubt many schools anywhere in the US are open this week.
Kwanzaa/Ramadan/Festivus vacation period.

Where is this spending authorized?

I mean, I know most of these military personel are full-time paid employees no matter where they are, but under what authorization is vacation money other than that allocated and approved?

Is there at least a budget?

"Anyone here remember going on a luxury Christmas vacation EVERY YEAR when you were a kid??"

Our idea of a vacation was taking a day trip on the train from Rochester to Niagara Falls. My Dad worked on the NY Central, and had a rail pass for himself and his family. We didn't own a car, so either walked or took the bus when we wanted to go anywhere.

Real vacations were non-existent to us back then. In fact, I don't think I ever went on a vacation until after my kids were older, and I was divorced. One time we drove to Washington D.C. for a week. Another time we took the train to NY City for a few days.

Coordinating your schedules and flying together to your luxury vacation destination is sooooooo for the little people.

Well, why all the guarding? Why don’t they start that assault rifle ban right there in Hawaii, starting with all the SS surrounding the Griftwolds ... ?

Will sequestration of our military budget include WH first family travel?

There is no other reason for democrats to seek public office except to exploit the perks of that office at the expense of the taxpayer.

And if you call them on it, of course, you’re a “racist”.

Space A would solve lots of problems.

Force the White House to live on a budget.

Every penny spent on their vacations is deducted from their living expenses. If they go overbudget, garnish their wages, to be paid back within a 5 year period.

I don’t mind the guards and I don’t grouse about the expense;we live in a world where our leaders are targets. But...

“Every time they go on a boondoggle, Moochie takes separate flights.”

Is there something islamic about that? That they don’t travel together?
