Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say,
On a bright Hawaiian Christmas Day,
That’s the island greeting that we send to you
From the land where palm trees sway,
 
Here we know that Christmas will be green and bright,
The sun to shine by day and all the stars at night,
Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii’s way
To say, “Merry Christmas,
A very Merry Christmas to you.”

As a proud taxpayers, in this season of giving, I’m sure we’re all thrilled to contribute our fair share to make the lives of the first family ever more plush and luxurious. After all, who are we to begrudge them $4,000,000+ for 17 days of pampered relaxation on the tropical paradise of Oahu?
 

 
Malia Zimmerman, at the Hawaiian Reporter, has a breakdown of the expenditures for the self-indulgent getaway:
 
The total cost (based on what is known) for a 17-day round trip vacation to Hawaii for the President and his family and staff and security is an estimated $4,113,038.
 
And that’s the way the Obamas say “Merry Christmas” to you – suckers!
