"...[Obama's Hawaiian vacation home costs] $3500 a day or $75,000 a month. Local and federal taxpayers pay the bill for travel & security. You pay the bill for all the travel... Are YOU going to Hawaii for Christmas, into a big, fancy mansion?..."
"It's a PR disaster to see pictures of Obama taking off to his fancy vacation home, while the policies of his administration keep digging this nation deeper and deeper into their failure pit."
"Is it too much to ask that the person elected to what was, up until recently, considered the most powerful office on the planet - should put very expensive, extravagant vacations on hold at a time when the country is in economic chaos?"
"...I get a kick out of thes Obama-defenders, they're saying, 'well, anything is ok that [Obama] does if Bush did it.' That's an odd thing for people who hate Bush [to say]..."
"The world is on fire, and Obama doesn't care. He's getting away on vacation and he's just hoping that the polls are going to leave him alone because he isn't on the stage for a while."

"...Obviously the Presidency travels with you. It's like being the Pope or the Queen, it goes with you. Now obviously being the President is so stressful he needs another break...."
