Obamas Say Aloha

by 4mainstreet

When Americans are having to tighten their belts, I would like to know why our Government can afford to go and spend the type of money that our President Elect is. Is this what he calls helping the working class, or is the same as Bush, helping the wealthy.

From where I see it, it is nothing but a slap in the face to Americans who are suffering, just to hope they have a place to live in the comming month or years, and maybe even a job.

Obamas Say Aloha to Hawaii
Obama-Mania Takes Over Hawaii as Future First Family Arrives for a 12-Day Holiday

By YUNJI DE NIES and HUMA KHAN

It's a wonderful time of the year for the Obamas.
The president-elect takes some time off for the holidays.

The future first family is trading in snow for sunshine. Barack and Michelle Obama and their two daughters, Sasha, 7, and Malia, 10, are celebrating the holidays with friends in Hawaii, where the president-elect was raised.

And as for their vacation paradise, the Obamas and their close friends have rented three private houses worth more than $30 million.

Situated in the serene white sand of Kailua Beach, each house spans 5,000 square feet and features waterfalls and a lagoon-style pool.

It's a home fit for a king, said David Zimel, whose company Paradise Point Estates owns two of the houses.

Paradise Point Estates built the two homes in 2006. One is known as the Bali House for its intricate wood carvings throughout and the other, the Plantation House, for its open design.
