And finally, I could've easily attended an Ivy League school, as I had the grades for it. I opted to avoid the those socialist indoctrination academies and attended a much smaller institution that taught actual critical thinking skills. So, no thank you.

But back to President Asshat, if he and his wookie wife aren't hosting glamorous bashes in the WH, they are on vacation. It is quite sickening! The guy is COMPLETELY worthless!

OK...squirelly numbers, but I will play.
2 weeks in Hawaii cost 1.5 Million for the whitehouse and secret service etc.
Hmmm..How much does it cost for the POTUS and family to stay at the white house for two weeks? add up the security, secret service, supporting staff, utilities, overhead etc. for that and then I will start to examine the numbers in earnest and do some comparisons.
Because absent that it seems to me you are whining about how expensive it is to simply be "The President of United States" in Hawaii or anywhere.
And a discussion about whether the USA can afford to have a POTUS would seem more relevant and honest, although more boring and certainly wouldn't support your themed agenda.
It seems a rather silly and dishonest complaint when a moment is taken to actually "think".

These people don't get at all! 1.5+ mil for vacation, while others in this country are losing their homes, business's, etc.......I forget the tally for Michelle's trip to Spain, I think I do remember 100K for security. It's an arrogance I don't understand. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it. I was taught by my Dad at a early age to lead by example and don't ask others to do anything you wouldn't do yourself. I don't expect Obama sleeping in a cardboard box, but maybe he should to see what others are going thru. Most politicians are very out of touch with reality it's sickening.
