| Michael Pond | It cost the tax payers $8 million for Obama to go to Hawaii. My question is how many times did he go to Hawaii before he became President and it was coming out of his pocket instead of ours? |

| bjprowler | Every president since George Washington has been criticized for the cost of his security when engaged in unofficial business.....Remember the night Abe took his wife to see a show? Same "shocking" cost was reported  when each former president took a "vacation"...What do people expect?.....Should there be "open season for assassins when they take a few days off? 
It's just the world we live in....

| bjprowler | Ed....I think that included "in room" coffee and a continental breakfast... |
| Me Time 2 | I like it even less when his family goes on vacation to another country. WTF there's not enough to do in our 50 states? |
| silverkat | Yes 71 million dollars worth of vacations sounds reasonable to me. Comparing that to Abraham Lincoln's assassination, remember the night Abe took his wife to see a show?, seems a bit flippant, cruel and making light of one of the more tragic things that happened in American history. |
