    Who will fund the other half, Obama's net worth is only $10.5 million, $2 million would be almost 1/4 of his net worth

    but he could cut back just a little and save a lot, i'm sorry did I say that old dirty word "CUT"

    He grew up in Hawaii and if a citizen from Hawaii becomes president then they have that right to go back at Christmas. He too has that right. No matter where a president goes for Christmas, it costs money. It is a perk of being president.

    So all those white Presidents can go anywhere and spend whatever, but the BLACK President can't?

    Nope no racism here.
