Judicial Watch: Obama’s Eight-Day 2012 – 2013 Hawaii Christmas Vacation Cost Taxpayers $4,086, 355.20 For Flights Alone
Flight expense records from the U.S. Department of the Air Force by the legal watchdog organization Judicial Watch show that President Obama incurred $7,396,531.20 in flight expenses alone for his 2013 vacations to Hawaii and Martha’s Vineyard and his trip to California to appear on the Jay Leno Show. The records came in response to Freedom of Information lawsuit filed after what the group called the "stonewalling" of requests filed in August 2013.
