What do you think of the cost of the Obama's Hawaii vactions?

Obama has returned to Hawaii to finish his vacation. The total cost for ths vacation will be $7,000,000.

I light of the economic problems our nation has, is it right for our president to spend so much on a vacation? How many poor people would $7,000,000 help?

    Look osama is in office and there's nothing we can do about it. He does what he wants to do and no one calls him out on it, there's nothing we can do. People flock after him and praise him as a king and there's nothing we can do about it. He is an immigrant he doesn't understand the constitution and wants to redistribute wealth (if you work hard and are successful in what you do, someone else will be enjoying your money). Look there's nothing we can do anymore, he always gets his way. Just look at all the dead people that voted for him! More than 100% voter turnout. By 2016, I'm hoping he will finally come out and reveal his true identity at least so we can al know the truth, and people will see that socialist values just don't work in america.

    Interesting responses. All former presidents have vacationed somewhere. Ronald Reagan use to go to his ranch in California, George Bush, Jr. went to Crawford, Texas, Harry Truman went to Kansas on the TRAIN, Clinton went to various places too, J.F. Kennedy went to Palm Beach, Lyndon Johnson went to Texas.. President Obama's home is Hawaii and yes it is much further then previous presidents vacationed. This is one of the perks of being Commander-in-Chief of the United States of America. By the aging process which has taken place on his face, he needs some down time. Why would you want to deny him some pleasure? He actually has not taken that many vacations compared to many other presidents. This is so trivial, my goodness. Oh, and by the way, the President makes $400.000 a year not $250,000 and does not pay to live in the White house. The family pays for their food and private dinners. ALL presidents have enjoyed these privileges, and Air Force One is one of them.

    Source(s): I am nearly 70 years old and have lived through many administrations and as a retired educator, what I am saying is pretty much fact for those who know their history.

    I even have been asserting all on my own that no person knows something approximately Obama. We do understand now that he replaced into born in Kenya because of the fact his grandmother pronounced so and additionally we've been advised that all and sundry his fathers infants have been born in Kenya and he's one among his fathers infants. If he does arise with a beginning certificates in Hawaii, somebody have been given wealthy off of it. this is going to be investigated as to who have been given the beginning certificates and seem at his financial business enterprise account. yet Obama could could have been clever adequate to have it put in a various financial business enterprise or an over seas financial business enterprise. this is going to be investigated till the money is got here across. the american human beings won't have self assurance however because of the fact they do no longer prefer to take heed to the actuality approximately him even while it comes from his very own mouth. Like he and his spouse the two burned the american flag a lot of them. each and every us of a has a flag and an nationwide Anthem yet Obama needs to eliminate our flag and our nationwide Anthem. however the human beings do no longer prefer to have self assurance it and that i do no longer understand why. They do think of he's a few form of god yet what he rather is comes from the devil. the day forward of this I solid my vote for McCain/Palin.

    I don't expect the President to not take vacations. I also don't expect him to be unprotected while he does, which is the majority of the cost.

    At least he didn't knock off early like Congress did on New Year's Eve.

    By the way, have you seen how the President is aging?

    Is this the best you can come up with?

    Excessive vacation expenses?

    Pay more attention to FOX news, when they have nothing to attack the President with, they make something up.

    Wow, not impressed at all.

    Obama has taken less vacations than bush did in his first four years in office.

    Is your need for attention really this great, or is your ignorance so great that it promotes inane questions like this?

    Which is it?
