Notice the article states, `Obama and his family are scheduled to rent a resort on Kailua, on the island of Oahu, as they have done each year of his presidency`. This sentence was written to imply the Obama`s are actually paying for their own vacation. Aaaaahahaha

Hope you choke on some bad kimchi, on our dime.

Most Presidents go home for vacation. Obama owns a house in Chicago. Has he actually ever gone there? Has he ever even set foot in that house?

headline..."America is finished, Obama goes on vacation...lifts middle finger to average American"...does that work??

Guess the cliff isnt so bad...

What a total lack of leadership. Did he leave Val in charge?

There´s no one in DC to lead. They all had already left till at least next mid-week or longer.

ValJar is always in charge. It doesn´t matter if the resident is in the WH or not.

Too good for Camp David. These folks look out for number one like real capitalists, but they´re nonprofit tycoons.
In a way this is getting very enjoyable. King Barry has to fly back from Hawaii on Wednesday? Ooh he´s gonna be mad. I think we should go over the cliff just to spite him, and gun control is a silly loser. Get the popcorn out.

Bye-bye Underachiever of the ages, bye-bye!!

Nero fiddled...

Ø goes to Hawaii on our dime.

Remember when the press complained about Bush "vacationing" at his own house?

I expect the For Sale sign to be posted on the Chitown house immediately after the coronation.

The new home in Hawaii will become the Hawaiian W.H.

Makes you almost feel sorry for him, cutting his vacation short and jetting around on our dime. Not really.

When did the Wookie and her troupe go to Hawaii ? Notice since the election, she isn´t on TV everyday telling US what to eat and BTW-vote for us ? Overhaul time.

Hey what happen to the Cliff? Oh well, I guess one can cry wolf from Hawaii too.

You think you are getting screwed now? Just wait...this is the guy that took 12 vacations in his first term...went golfing 112 times...and was campaigning for almost THREE years...and yes, all on OUR dime...But if you think that was gross KEEP COUNT on vacations, the cost and michellles´ outings too. She has a nasty habit of demanding and GETTING her own airplane again on our dime even though she and ´hubby´ are going to the same place... Keep tabs and see why this man is dividing us faster than he can spend our money...

Just how often have these gay-blades taken vacations in Hawaii as private citizens without the trappings/money of the white-house?

Don´t they have a house in Chicago they could go to? Or is that off bounds for some reason? You would think they would go ´´home´´ for Christmas like most people ....unless they don´t ´´do´´Christmas. Where´s their family? I´m sure Militant Michelle has some kind of family she might want to see...or maybe they don´t want to see her....or maybe they are ALL being flown to the Island at our expense...kind of like that India trip, eh? Truly a bunch of gadflies!!!!!

This spoiled teenager routine is getting old. The upside is that stinky isn´t around Washington trying to set up backroom negotiations and making stupid speeches about how republicans hate the middle class when it was he who spent us into oblivion.

Will Bo the dog have his own seperate flight, like last year?

Does this surprise anyone?

Mooch and her friends had a great time in Spain. For the amount he’s spending in Hawaii he could but Spain. Maybe we should suggest it.

It should be 57 trees - one for each state in Obama´s US.

I don´t begrudge the president a Christmas vacation, but I suspect this will be the first of many vacations come the new year.
Several posters have mentioned that The Won has a home in Chicago. Well, you don´t expect him to go there do you? The weather is so cold and uncomfortable.

Are those heavily armed men going with him? Shouldn´t some be left behind to protect our children and our schools?

Now that Chicago has turned into a shooting gallery, you can´t expect the Obama´s to actually go to the house that shady deals(Tony R.) built can you?

May you live in interesting times, is the ancient Chinese curse. Well, i feel like I´m living in some sort of black comedy. When Clinton would get away with murder, I´d say, "can you imagine a Republican President getting away with this?" But now? I mean, not even Clinton could get away with this. All the rules were changed for Obama. For him, or maybe I should write, for Him, there are no rules.

this is what THEY voted for.......hope it gets a lump of coal for xmas...every coal miner should have sent him one.....

Go -- mr. president -- go -- leave the mainland and ALL of US will have a Very Merry Christmas.....

Bye -- bye -- it´s worth every dollar of OUR money you spend on your lavish vacation.

LZK

I´m going to have a great Christmas with my family in spite of this jerkoff and his gang. And I wish all you Ldotters and your families a very Merry Christmas.
And to Lucianne and the Breitbart family a very Merry Christmas and a great big thank you for all you have done and continue to do to support our fight.
God bless you all.

Think of the aircrews and security personnel who have to give up Christmas with their families to ferry his sorry butt back and forth.

Given the daily murder count in zippy´s old ´community´, I´m betting that the SS won´t let him go to his own house in Chi-town, not that he´d want too anyway. Hawaii is so much more pleasant and elitist.

At least the maintanence people at the WH will maybe get to enjoy those 54 Christmas trees. Bet there isn´t one in the mansion we´re renting in Hawaii, but there are probably plenty of prayer rugs.

He shouldn´t return with the idea that he must´lead´. He should return with the idea that he should negotiate as the head of one of the three co-equal branches of federal government.

I know. Fat chance that the self-important clown could even fathom the concept.

Speaking of the 54 Christmas trees...here´s a fun fact.
The most trees the Bushes had was 27, which guzzinta 54 exactly twice.
Coincidence?

Just remember that George and Laura Bush spent every Christmas and Easter in the Whitehouse so that they would have minimal impact on the families of their security contingent.

That is the thinking of a mensch.

There´s no end to the King and Queen´s arrogance. The more I tune their lifestyle out, the better I feel. Couldn´t even watch last night´s HGTV special on The White House Christmas that I typically watch every year because all I could think was what a horrible waste of money.

If one of us was gifted with a four million buck Christmas we´d have to report it and pay taxes on it. Same with entertainment, ladies and lords and ladies in waiting, private schooling, etc. maybe it is time to re evaluate how our president lives. America was founded to eliminate the corrupt royals of Europe, but politicians have created one of their own right under our noses.

Four million my butt. More like twenty million and, just for the record, HE AIN´T BLACK.

Party on dude!

Much like the English speaking people saved the world in two world wars (not to mention the GWOT), the Red State people (with the help of some fine GOP governors) are going to save our country.

I wanna know which 3 States didn´t donate a Christmas tree this year?
/s

Of course. Zero´s forte is to do his usual nothing in a timely manner, so that a "crisis" forms because of some real or contrived deadline, then he offers nothing, while waiting for his opponent to come up with a plan to demonize. And guess who comes along to try to kick the football every time. Then the Pubbies come up with some God-awful last minute compromise, and America loses again. Lather rinse repeat.

Zero got exactly what he wanted so far. No deal, and the media trashing the party that actually addresses the issues involved. He also got the trip he wanted, going to Hawaii without the Mooch, and returning without her, similar to all their vacations. Now he gets to return to the media fabrication that he is giving up his vacation to lead this nation in a time of crisis, and he will whine it to the hilt. Until he gets back, Boehner should bring an empty chair to every press conference, and periodically look at it and ask for Zero´s opinion.

# 3 Obama promised during the campaign of 2008
that he would go back to his Rezko home in Chicago every 6 weeks .
This was to give the illusion that he was a regular guy.
During the first two years, they went back more often than they do now.
Memorial Day 2010 , Barry did not go to Arlington National Cemetery for the traditional wreath laying ceremony.
Instead , he went back to his Chicago home for a birthday bash with Reggie Love .
The Secret Service was photographed walking Bo at night so the two love birds could have some privacy.
I believe Michelle was on another grand tour of the world on our dime.
The tabloids at the checkouts are now saying it will cost us $300,00 for a separate aircraft just to fly out her clothes to Hawaii.
Their non stop luxurious vacations and top shelf parties the next four years are going to make our heads spin ,
our stomachs roil and our blood pressure skyrocket.
We ain´t seen nothing, yet.

Perhaps a deal could include the Obama´ spend every vacation in Kenya. They would feel so at home among around the 90% population with skin tones from dark brown to black and never have to face racists or need 10 t0 20 vehicles in a motorcade. Oh to be just one of the crowd could create such freedom.

Worst president ever...worst person to ever be President

Obama is getting what he wants. More taxes, more spending, and the Republican party in disarray. Obama knows the Republican party is in disarray so he can stick a thumb in their eye by going to Hawaii. The Republican party needs to get its act together.

He wants to go over the cliff. That way He will have a ready excuse for the coming recession that will really be caused by the policies of His socialist party. But He will blame the republicans and the cliff, and the leftist press whores will eagerly go along with the sham.
