Surf’s up! Obamas taking $4 million Hawaiian vacation as America plunges over fiscal cliff Posted at 12:18 pm on November 29, 2012 by Twitchy Staff


Obama in Hawaii

As Twitchy reported earlier, despite the fast-approaching fiscal cliff, President Obama can’t be troubled to meet with Congressional leaders. Well, it looks like the country will have to wait a little longer for even a halfhearted show of leadership. While the president is threatening Americans that Republicans will steal their $2000, he’s preparing to embark on a three-week, $4 million Hawaiian vacation. Funded by taxpayers, of course.

The Hawaii Reporter estimates that the total cost of the vacation to Hawaii and federal taxpayers, including funding for travel, staff and protection, is at least $4 million. Obama’s vacations are more expensive than those of previous presidents because of the huge costs to fly Air Force One and an accompanying cargo plane for nine hours or so to Hawaii.

The trip is set for December 17 to January 6. We’re set to reach the edge of the fiscal cliff on January 2. As Obama and the Democrats’ irresponsible policies send us hurtling toward economic disaster, the president and his family will be enjoying their pu pu platters. Maybe they’ll even do a little cliff diving of their own!

Conservatives are absolutely livid:

So Obama said there’s no deal without rate hikes. Is he willing to let Jan. 1 pass w/o a deal to hold the line?

    Rome fell from within; Caesar raised taxes; people sold themselves, own children, relatives into slavery to the Roman government to “Work Off” their debt/ meanwhile the military(no I don’t mean our troops) and legislative bodies became like slugs; then the doles came BECAUSE-people “expected” their government to take care of them.
