The vacation spot we paid for
The Plantation Estate on Kailua Beach in Oahu, Hawaii.
With the fiscal cliff averted at last on New Year’s Day, President Barack Obama returned to his vacation spot on Kailua Beach in Oahu, Hawaii Wednesday morning for some much-needed R & R. Obama had previously cut the vacation short to deal with the fiscal crisis.
Each U.S. president has found his own way to unwind from the stresses of leading the free world, including Harry Truman, who once called the White House the “crown jewel of the federal penal system” because he felt so confined there. Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush both escaped to ranches out west.
But Obama prefers to spend the holidays at lavish rented estates in his former home state of Hawaii, where he plays golf, works out at the nearby Marine Corps base, and spends time with wife Michelle and daughters Sasha and Malia on the beach.
The First Family rents a home each year on Paradise Point, a lush, green stretch of land in Kailua Beach, Oahu, that juts out over the ocean and contains an exclusive gated community.

How can his flaunting of these extravagances not ENRAGE the populace at large?
Wait. I know at least half of that answer.
Damn the MSM.

The inside looks wooden, flat and uninviting. Just like the 0bamas. Interesting.

We each get a day there though, right? Plus the plane trip?

Looks like a great party place, but it’s wasted on those two stiffs.
They just indulge themselves like this because they can.
It’s royalty, flipping the bird to all the “little people”.

Obama should come check out a typical American get away: Blow 1/2 the budget on fuel to get somewhere that’s not quite where you want to go otherwise it would cost too much, deal with sub-par accommodations because 1/2 the places are closed down and what remains open they can’t afford to pay workers, listen to the kids bitch because you really don’t want to spend another 5-10 bucks on something that will be trashed or lost in an hour, leave early because you’re out of money and don’t come back for another few years because you need to save.

Hmmm. Let’s see. My last vacation I drove my family to East Tennessee to see family in the “Home Country”. Plus I had a staycation because I lacked funds to take the family anywhere.
Norman’s right, we’re little people.

Now I know why my social security tax was up an extra $30 in today’s paycheck. I knew it was expiring (the “holiday”), but $30 x 26 paychecks year = $780. Yet there are low information morons, like Rush says, who still want to sit here and argue with me that middle class taxes did not go up!

Two points:
1. All solid surfaces. Can you imagine Moose’s shrieking amplified by the the room aacoustics?
2. So Barak has come full circle… he be back on de Plantation. (Sorry…I HAD to.)

One more point about that second picture: the place looks as artificial and structured as its occupants. Like a Boca Raton gated community.

Ever notice the most material people are leftists that proclaim themselves to be anything other than such?

They’ll have to fumigate that place after that crew leaves.

Yesterday Barky decides he wants to take the girls out to Island Snow for a shave ice. So the secret service shuts down all traffic on Kailua Road, essentially all traffic through that little town, for almost an hour before hand. The motorcade brings them there, Barky mugs for the camera, then right back “home.” Security then keeps all traffic off the road for a half hour afterwards. So, for almost two hours the peasants couldn’t go anywhere just so numbnuts could have a 10 minute sno-cone photo-op.

I notice the water level had to be dropped a few inches so it wouldn’t overflow. And that decor IS really bland.

Picture Barky doing his best Al Green standing in the middle of that room. Next that chandelier drops on his head. Hopefully it’s cast iron. That thought makes you smile don’t it?

And, I guess as a small consolation, Oahu’s been socked in for a few days now. Windward side has been getting drenched almost non-stop. So, apart from the little shave ice trip, Soetoro and the Grifters have been cooped up in that dump since he got back here.

You are all mistaken. The photos show the accommodations for the secret service and crew.
Here is where Barry and Mooshell stay. It has the only thing they need and they’re right at home.
