    I wonder if Chewbacca will be on the same flight or one that leaves a few hours later.

    I was able to get online and found President Obama some great accommodations at the Best Western Hotel in Honolulu.

    For just $90 a night, the first family could get free Wi-Fi, a continental breakfast, an in-room safe to store the nuclear launch codes plus a rollaway bed for Valerie Jarrett.

    Usually much more. My guess is this amount is just for the flights, not the food or lodging for their entourage.

    There's also the locals' lost income from their businesses having access restricted with roadblocks, security, etc. I'd be f'ing pissed.

    Taxpayers spent $1.4 billion on Obama family last year [2011]: http://dailycaller.com/2012/09/26/ta...d-in-new-book/
    Taxpayers spent $1.4 billion dollars on everything from staffing, housing, flying and entertaining President Obama and his family last year, according to the author of a new book on taxpayer-funded presidential perks.
    In comparison, British taxpayers spent just $57.8 million on the royal family.
    All said and done we have paid out of pocket way too much for presidents, not only Obummer, and their lavish lives as "rulers of the free world".

    We were doing some engineering design work on a house owned by a guy that also had a house in Martha's Vineyard. He told me that when Oblowme went to Martha's Vineyard last summer the secret service rented his house for $14,000 for 10 days to house some of the security detail and his house would not house everybody, so they rented other houses as well. Just one of many small expenses we don't think about.
