While the rest of us do whatever it is we do for Christmas, U.S. President Barack Obama is enjoying a two-week vacation in the sand and sun of his “native” Hawaii.
Two weeks? Must be nice …
In fact, Hawaii’s official tourism site has its own Barack Obama page to tell us all about the President’s infatuation with his “Winter White House.”
Here’s an actual excerpt from GoHawaii.com …
Beyond Hawaii’s natural beauty, the islands are a place of incredible diversity. Dating back to plantation days, Hawaii has been home to a multicultural mix of people. It is this culture of acceptance and aloha that has had a profound affect on Barack Obama and will continue to influence him in the future.
Um … okay.
The Obama compound is an $8.9 million, 7,000-square foot mansion in Kailua (on the island of Oahu) that rents for $4,000 a night, in case you were wondering – or comparison booking.

Enjoy your vacation, Mr. President–you truly deserve a long-deserved vacation.
Thanks for tackling real issues like healthcare reform and global warming.
It’s nice to have a real adult in the White House.
Hope and change has arrived in America!

TIm V, your assertion is a joke. Maybe one day when and if you understand spirituality, you will also understand God doesn’t answer prays like that. Are you really that twisted?

Nero and Obama have a lot in common–Nero played the fiddle whilst Rome burned, and Obama straddles his boogy board in Hawaii whilst America’s economy burns…

You want to rip someone for taking vacations? Try this fact on for size dimwits: George W Bush took more vacation time THAN ANY OTHER SITTING PRESIDENT IN HISTORY! And the best part is; the wars, conflicts, invasions, and occupations the US is involved in: brought to you by George W Bush and a republican congress! The wall street meltdown? Yep, you guessed it: more George Bush and his all-stars. Keep talking fools. It just makes you more inept and irrelevant.

I think a shot of POTUS body surfing is fantastic! Thanks for posting! Our president is body surfing? Love it! ALL the presidents have spent way too much money on vacationing. It is what it is. I dare say O has taken far less vacation than our last… Bitch on.

Oh, no. Now you’ve done it. Those who don’t like him to take a vacation have just been provoked because someone told the facts regarding the wars and their incurious George who took more vacation than anyone in history. The people who make these dumb remarks do not care if you ask them about a klan meeting? To them it is a badge of honor to be in that kind of organization. They might even feel a little disappointed if they weren’t in that kind of organization. To all those unemployed and worrying about their own economic state, it is a bit reprehensible for all this fun. A lot of people are out of work and it’s cold. They can’t afford heat. It would be nice if he could take a couple minutes and sign a document that would make null and void NAFTA. Then he could get some respect, even from the KKKers. Of course, they’d probably credit the reversal to Ronald or George, Senior.
