Most of that cost is what it would cost him to visit ANYWHERE else in the U.S. The restrictions, secret-service, etc. are all costs that happen no matter where the president is.
Don't like a president visiting his place of birth, don't vote for someone from Hawaii. Funny though, I can't seem to find any posts from you complaining about GOP president travels and costs, I wonder why that is?
I don't like the fact Obama is taking a 21 day vacation on the taxpayers dime.
I could understand a week, maybe 10 days but 3-weeks?
That is only 80 jobs that could be saved at 50k a year per job.
Of course in another thread progressives are attempting to label republicans "hypocrites" because they authorized (not spent) 500k over a DOMA program, meanwhile the president goes on vacation that the cost of 8x the cost.
That moron Obama shouldn't be going on a 21 day vacation with the economy in the tank - that is about as bad as taking private jets to Washington DC to ask for a bailout!
Obama should behave more modestly, instead of living lavishly.
Michelle and Barry are starting to remind me of Marie "let them eat cake" Antoinette and King Louis XVI...
