Another Vacation

    Never been to Hawaii but can the surf be dangerous there with an 'undertow' that could result in a person drowning[?]

    quote:It's that time of year again, and Hawaii residents are making plans to deal with the inconvenience of daily living during President Barack Obama's annual holiday visit to Kailua, Oahu. A report was delivered to Residents of Kailua as recently as Nov. 29 according to one resident, which outlines a list of restrictions that are to be implemented for 20 days while the President vacations in Hawaii.

    The restrictions affect residents living along the ocean and canal which surrounds the multi-million dollar houses that Barack Obama, his family, his dog Bo, and invited friends are to stay in. These restrictions will be in place between Dec. 17 and Jan. 6, and include limitations on air, water, and road travel among other things.

    Street barricades and Navy Seals along with secret agents will start to pop up in just a few weeks and it has many residents up in arms about their own holiday plans. Many who live in the area want to be able to use their boats and other ocean toys during their own holiday vacations without restrictions put into place.


    Obama's yearly vacation to Hawaii is a pretty controversial one due to the cost of the trip. When all is said and done, it's estimated that the 20-day vacation will cost tax payers more than $4 million dollars. According to Hawaii Reporter, the President and his invited friends pay for their own accommodations but everything else on the bill is footed by those who pay taxes.

    President Barack Obama and his family have stayed on Oahu for several days during the holiday season every year since 2008. This should come as no surprise as the island is Obama's childhood home and it's clear that the First Lady keeps health and fitness a priority in the family. Both of these things can be found in abundance in Hawaii thanks to readily available in-season fruits and vegetables, and an array of fitness promoting activities to choose from. The Obama family is minutes away from a private beach and access to military workout facilities.

    Found this too.

    quote:So tell me Sandy victims, what do you think of your President and FEMA red tape now? Why doesn't BO use that 4 million to help the victims of Sandy and spend Christmas at the Whitehouse making a budget? He wants to raise taxes on the rich but spend 4 million tax dollars for vacation. Shame on you

    I've heard that in 2011, the cost of the president's and his family's outings and vacations cost 1.4 billion dollars. Can't he find a discount travel agency?

    Guess I never noticed this before, but Obama's dog's name is Bo. Is he named after the president's initials, BO? I know this guy is narcissistic, but sheesh.

    Not sure I believe this.

    I love it!
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    Wasn't he on vacation for like 3 out of his first 4 years anyway? Seems to me any time something bad happens he responds by going on vacation. No different here. First, this shows that he really does not care about this country, and second, he just leaves an opportunity for republicans to once again be blamed for the problem because he wasn't even there to stop them.

    Obama is a sorry excuse for a president, black or not. I know good hard working black guys here who work 2 jobs at minimum wage and just barely get by, and I mean really work hard, because I have worked with them. They represent the good blacks. Obama brings shame to blacks by wasting our time and our money to go and play and have fun, while the country is destroyed. And yet millions of blacks worship him.

    I don't care much what Obama does anymore. As long as he is on vacation he won't be working, so he won't be passing more laws to take away our freedoms. He is what he is and there is no changing that. He should be expected at this point to act like this. My issue is with 60+ million Americans who still worship him and want him to destroy this country. And that is what I have a hard time understanding.
