Yeah, yeah, yeah... all the previous presidents had their holidays, why not the Obamas? Plllbbbbttttt. The Bush's, 41 and 43, celebrated Christmas at Camp David, which I hear is absolutely lovely and the Obamas absolutely LOATHE it. The Bush's did this for two reasons: first, it's already paid for, security is already in place, and it's close to DC for emergencies; second, they were considerate enough to realize going farther away would take their staff and SS details away from their homes and families over the holidays. Apparently, the Obamas don't give a flying fuck about anybody else's families.
And then there is the cost. Estimated costs for this year's Winter Secular Holiday trip are around $4 million. That's estimated. If Obama has to ~gasp~ stay behind for negotiations to avoid the fiscal cliff, you know Mooch and the kiddos will head on without him in AF2 and he'll follow in AF1. I personally hope we just punch the gas and do a Thelma and Louise off the cliff, just to see them go on to their Entitlement Vacation while the rest of us are facing reality.
Merry Christmas, y'all.

Marie Antoinette spent the peoples money as the French economy declined. They beheaded her.

I was wondering if this was going to happen again. It makes me sad. I have family that lives in Kailua near where the president stays, and it's a nightmare getting in and out of the area. A commute that should take only ten minutes becomes an hour. We visited our family during the election in 2008, when Obama was in Hawaii as well. I cannot begin to tell you how awful it was. Kailua and Lanikai beaches - two of the most beautiful and uncrowded (you'd be hard pressed to see more than 20 people there), was packed like the Jersey Shore on the Fourth of July. Interestgly, Obama grew up on the other side of the island, in Honolulu on the Punahou, not quiet little Kailua.
