Seventeen Days?!?
Wow!
For 17 days, Obama will be vacationing in Hawaii this Christmas.
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 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.
Last year the trip cost more than $1 million, according to the Hawaii Reporter.
This is extravagant in terms of cost and extravagant in terms of time.
Mark Levin comments:
Obama is the laziest president in my lifetime
His vacations are long and extravagant. But even more, when you look at his public schedule each day, it is embarrassingly sparse of serious business. He has played 88 rounds of golf. This is unheard of. The only thing he does in earnest is fund-raise, and he does that at taxpayer expense. The nation is in an awful way, in large part due to his irresponsible policies. Pretty damn pathetic.
It is truly pathetic.
