The First Family will be heading off to Hawaii for their annual vacation, the people's business be damned!
With the "Fiscal Cliff" looming on the horizon, President Obama and the rest of the First Family will be jetting off to Hawaii to inconvenience an island and at the same time waste more than $4 million of American's hard-earned tax dollars he claims to be so interested in protecting!
From the Washington Times comes this accounting of the trips cost:
The biggest expense is Mr. Obama's roundtrip flight to Hawaii on Air Force One, which costs taxpayers $3,271,622.
The cost of flying the U.S. Air Force C-17 cargo plane that carries the presidential limos, helicopters and other support equipment to Hawaii and back is $258,000.
The houses the Obamas rent are fronted by the ocean and backed by a canal so taxpayers have to cover the costs of housing the Secret Service, Coast Guard and Navy Seals in beachfront and canal homes for an estimated total cost of $176,400.
Local taxpayers pick up the tab for local police overtime and the use of the city ambulance that accompanies the president 24 hours a day, for a total of $250,000.
