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.

This guy is such an ass-douche.

Well seeing as how he works so hard.....damnit I can not even work up a sarcastic remark for this lazy azz clown. I know being president is a 24/7 job and I never begrudged a president for taking time off before but this is just ridiculous. You would think someone would tell him it looks bad and suggest sometime at Camp David for the holidays instead of taking what for many would be a dream vacation every 3 months. Most everyone I know is worried about tomorrow to the point of stress. I was talking to a business owner today about a job and he is suffering in his personal finaces just to make sure he makes payroll for the people he already has working for him. He is also a minister so he tries to stay positive but you could tell he was worried.
I don't think I can survive anymore hope and change. B+ my ass.

Camp David is cold in the winter, Hawaii isn't. Can you imagine the power bill for the White House after keeping it at 85 degrees all winter?

Gee... must be nice. We will probably be saving for the next six years just to get a five day weekend in Hawaii. But hey, he wants to take advantage of us taxpayer's as much as he can. He knows we are booting his ass out next year.

Who wants to take bets that between 7 Nov 2012 and 19 Jan 2013 he does nothing but vacation?

We should be so lucky. I bet he gets writers cramp signing pardons and executive orders.

I had my best year ever, earnings-wise. I thought about taking Scoobie to Hawaii for a few days (pipe dream, and she'd never allow it, but what the heck?) early next year.
I took one look at what a five-day trip with airfare and car rental, and said "Screw it." The increased taxes I'll be paying (town property tax just increased 10 percent this year alone) and $4/gal heating oil, and $3.50/gal gasoline as opposed to the $2/gal we were paying when Obumbles took office would have paid for that and then some.
And this guy can just pick up a phone and have AF1, which costs nearly $100K per flight hour, plop his worthless on a 11-hour flight to a compound that goes for over $100K/week. My vacation wouldn't even get a tractor pulled up to AF1 to pull it out of the hangar.
This ****er just DOES. NOT. GET. IT.
Obama--you can do what I do during my "vacation" between X-Mas and New Year's. Stay at home and relax. Lot cheaper.

OMG, how can he possibly take that much time away from junketing to the swing states for his re-election campaign under the guise of official business???
:whatever:

Air Force One, secret service staff, wait staff, journos...just imagine how much good he could have done with all that money. Why isn't he feeding the poor, caring for the sick, and doing all those other things the DUmmies complained Bush didn't do??

50 seconds into the clip "Everyone will have to sacrifice. Everyone will have to have some skin in the game" (http://hotair.com/archives/2009/01/11/obama-were-all-going-to-have-to-sacrifice-for-the-greater-good/)
I just didn't realize our sacrifice and skin was all going to his game.

The Obama plan, "Maybe if I go away for awhile, the problems will go away."
....come to think of it, that ain't a bad plan coming from the Obama crowd.

Travelling between towns in Canadian buses that are in fact loaded onto Air Force cargo planes so he doesn't have to be "uncomfortable."
