Wish you were here? President spends $1.5m on his holiday in Hawaii... while the rest of America faces a bleak New Year

President Obama has splashed out more than $1.5million on a sunshine break in Hawaii while many Americans are still struggling in the aftermath of the economic meltdown.

With Washington in a deep freeze, Mr Obama yesterday extended his stay on Oahu until next Monday.

It just goes to show how insensitive he is to the needs of the people of the USA. He'll damned well go on vacation on OUR dime and we'll LIKE it !! I've grown quite tired of his royal aspirations and driving this country into a third world shit hole.

Cooking for the President: Obama Dines at Alan Wong's

http://www.honolulumagazine.com/Honolulu-Magazine/Biting-Commentary/December-2010/Cooking-for-the-President-Obama-Dines-at-Alan-Wong-039s/

Quote
"It's not the first time I've cooked for the President," says chef Alan Wong.  "But every time, it's a chicken skin moment."

Last night, Barack and Michelle Obama, Obama's sister and her husband and a half dozen friends dined at one of the President's favorite restaurants in Hawaii, Alan Wong's on King Street.

Born and raised in Hawaii, Obama has adventurous tastes, says Wong, and always orders the multicourse chef's menu.  Michelle, who usually eats lighter, joined him last night.  On the menu:
What the heck is a "chicken skin moment?" Just love the "Born in Hawaii" bit......

President and family on multi-million dollar Christmas vacation in Hawaii

Another headline to 'love'. Btw ... in this story ...

Just consider these estimates on part of the costs of the latest Obama Hawaii trip:
    * Mrs. Obama’s early flight to Hawaii: $63,000 (White House Dossier)
    * Obama’s round trip flight to Hawaii: $1 million (GAO estimates)
    * Housing in beachfront homes for Secret Service and Seals in Kailua ($1,200 a day for 14 days): $16,800
    * Costs for White House staff staying at Moana Hotel: $134,400 ($400 per day for 24 staff) – excluding meals and other room costs
    * Police overtime: $250,000 (2009 costs reported by Honolulu Police Department)
    * Ambulance: $10,000 (City Spokesperson)
TOTAL COST: $1,474,200

But that $1.47 million figure leaves out a number of signficant costs that simply could not be calculated by Hawaii Reporter:
    * Rental of office building in Kailua on canal
    * Security upgrades and additional phone lines.
    * Costs for car rentals and fuel for White House staff staying at Moana Hotel (Secret Service imports most of the cars used here to escort the president).
    * Surveillance before the president arrives.
    * Travel costs for Secret Service and White House staff traveling ahead of the President.

Obama’s Million Dollar Hawaiian Vacation: Costs to Taxpayers Detailed

It's for te chilrun, ya know ... or perhaps our first 'Vacation President' is spending so much time in Hawaii so he can personally supervise the construction of all the fake and forged documents showing Hawaii as his actual place of birth. A fake BC is simple enough, but it is all the supporting documents that make it so difficult and time consuming.

Being frugal is not part of the plan.

Michelle Obama, interested in healthy and natural foods, raises bees at the White House and makes her own honey.  She's gifted Wong with a supply of White House honey.
Well here is a link to her taking care of said bee's....

If he keeps taking these vacations his stash is going to be pretty small.
