Take a Look at How Much the Taxpayers Are Shelling Out for One Obama Christmas Vacation



For the last week and a half, President Barack Obama has been in
Hawaii celebrating Christmas with his family, playing golf with friends
and eating shaved ice on family outings.


It might take a couple of years before taxpayers know the precise
cost of this year’s Christmas vacation, but if it’s similar to previous
years, such as 2013, it will cost more than $8 million.

While all private vacations are paid for in part out of the first
family’s own money, taxpayers cover the bulk of the flight cost and all
of the cost for Secret Service detail. The most recent data shows that
the 2013 Christmas vacation by the Obama family in Hawaii cost taxpayers
$8.09 million.
