"Obama's Vineyard Vacation Will Cost Taxpayers Millions "

I'm okay with that. If the communist were not on vacation, it would cost us billions more in the same period. Every day he is on the golf course is a day he doesn't have time to work at destroying America.

Dream on, his tsars and appointees continue to follow the plan to destroy our country no matter where Barry is.

Watch and see what happens while he’s gone, he’s been on plenty of vacations and the conditions have gotten worse.

To go on an 11 day vacation while the country is suffering is madness.

You don't really think that "clock" accurately accounts for income and disbursements, do you? If Obama had not been there at all, you can be sure your "debt clock" would have a smaller number now. He does make a difference, unfortunately.

So what governmental money won’t be spent while Barry in on vacation?

None, probably. But we might be spared some new great initiatives while he lives as if he were Louis XIV.

At least. But you’ll have no trouble rescuing Pat or James.

While technically he is paying for his estimated $50,000 a week rental

Technically? His current salary is approx. $400K per year with a $50K expense account so I'll believe that when I see his personal Visa statement........

The first couple reported an adjusted gross income of $5.5 million, almost all of it from royalties associated with the president’s two bestsellers: “Dreams from My Father” and “The Audacity of Hope.” The first book — about Obama’s early life and his struggle to find a racial identity — earned about $3.3 million in 2009. The second, a more policy-oriented book, brought in $2.3 million for the president and his family. In 2008, the books together earned them $2.6 million. As president, Obama collected a salary of $400,000, an amount that reflects an increase that took effect in 2001.
