Obama family Slated to Depart for 'Christmas in Hawaii'

Hmmm....I feel awfull connecting Bing to Obama but love the song....(Childhood memories).

Obama family Slated to Depart for Christmas in Hawaii.HT: WhiteHouseDossier.

President Obama and his family will again vacation this Christmas on Hawaii, departing in two weeks – on or about December 20 – and returning January 5, according to Hawaii News Now.

The Obamas have vacationed on Hawaii every year since Obama was first elected president, at considerable cost to taxpayers.

Air Force One is known to cost about $180,000 an hour to fly. Based on an estimated 18 hours roundtrip flying time for the flight between Washington and Honolulu, the travel cost alone of Obama’s annual Hawaii sojourn amounts to around $3.24 million. 

And that doesn’t include the price tag for the massive security operation required to move the president or the cost of the cargo plane that follows Air Force One around.........Or the dogs their planes.

Obama is expected to stay as he has in the past in Kailua on the island of Oahu.

The first family is expected to arrive around December 20 and is scheduled to return to Washington D.C. on January 5.
