Ana Nguyen (@anananguyen) November 29, 2012As Twitchy reported earlier, despite the fast-approaching fiscal cliff, President Obama can’t be troubled to meet with Congressional leaders. Well, it looks like the country will have to wait a little longer for even a halfhearted show of leadership. While the president is threatening Americans that Republicans will steal their $2000, he’s preparing to embark on a three-week, $4 million Hawaiian vacation. Funded by taxpayers, of course.
The Hawaii Reporter estimates that the total cost of the vacation to Hawaii and federal taxpayers, including funding for travel, staff and protection, is at least $4 million. Obama’s vacations are more expensive than those of previous presidents because of the huge costs to fly Air Force One and an accompanying cargo plane for nine hours or so to Hawaii.
The trip is set for December 17 to January 6. We’re set to reach the edge of the fiscal cliff on January 2. As Obama and the Democrats’ irresponsible policies send us hurtling toward economic disaster, the president and his family will be enjoying their pu pu platters. Maybe they’ll even do a little cliff diving of their own!
Conservatives are absolutely livid:
With the US nearing a fiscal cliff, the Obama's are going on a 20 day- $4 million vacation!—

@ReallyIvy @ShareThis Is Obama worth the $1.4bn he and Michelle cost us annually by his extravegance? Is he worth a $4mil vacation now?—

20 days in Hawaii? Obama should go live in a FEMA hut in NJ or NY for his vacation and actually FEEL what these people are going through!!—

President Obama is spending $4 million of taxpayer money for a Hawaiian vacation.
What would you do with $4 million?

@SpeakerBoehner @nytimes Obama was reelected. Instead of taking his 20 day vacation, he might want to think about doing the job!—

What's your "fair share" of Obama's $4,000,000 vacation in Hawaii?—
(@Fector) November 29, 2012
What the hell goes through Obama's head? A 20 day $4000000 (in tax payer money) vacation to Hawaii for Christmas? Hello? FISCAL CLIFF HERE.—

While Obama’s reckless disregard for Americans’ welfare is nothing short of infuriating — and downright disgusting — this Twitterer does make an interesting point:
People are complaining about Obama's 3-week vacation? Why? We would all be a lot better off if he spent the next 4 years on vacation.—
