Hawaii, Obama

From Hawaii, Obama Blasted Republicans Who 'Went Home for the Holidays'

January 6, 2014 - 5:59 PM
In his weekly address released on Saturday, January 4, President Obama had the audacity to slam Republicans for "going home for the holidays" and letting unemployment insurance benefits expire. The only problem is that Obama said this while still on his holiday vacation in Hawaii.
A day before his Sunday return to Washington, DC, from a two-week holiday visit to the state of his birth, Obama criticized Republicans for going home for the holidays:
"Just a few days after Christmas, more than one million of our fellow Americans lost a vital economic lifeline - the temporary insurance that helps folks make ends meet while they look for a job. Republicans in Congress went home for the holidays and let that lifeline expire. And for many of their constituents who are unemployed through no fault of their own, that decision will leave them with no income at all."
As the Washington Post reports, Obama spend Saturday golfing, hiking, and dining with his family in Hawaii:

While White House pool reports indicate the first lady stayed behind this week in Hawaii to chill out with friends before her 50th birthday, there weren’t many specifics.

Happy birthday, Michelle . . . from all of US! Taxpayers foot the bill for First Lady's extended Hawaiian vacation... so she can celebrate her 50th in Oprah's Maui home

  • The first lady remained behind in Hawaii following a 15-day family vacation, and will stay at the 12-bedroom island home of Oprah Winfrey
  • Mrs Obama will be flown home on a separate aircraft, with tax dollars covering the cost
  • The White House insists she will be responsible for her own 'personal expenses'
  • Secret Service protection and dedicated vehicles will add significantly to the price tag of what the president described as an early birthday gift

When President Barack Obama suggested that his wife should spend extra time in paradise as an early birthday present, he was committing U.S. citizens to pay for the gift, whose costs will likely spiral into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.
