Obama blasted for holiday trip expenses...

US President Barack Obama’s family trip to Hawaii for the Christmas holidays “is too expensive” and will cost millions of dollars, says a government spending watchdog.

Obama and the First Family will board the presidential jet, known as Air Force One, on Friday and head to Hawaii to spend their holidays there for the eighth consecutive year, according to the White House.

The president began the yearly tradition in 2008, before he took the oath of office.

“The Obamas' travel is out of control. They are treating the Air Force One like an Uber ride,” said Tom Fitton, the head of the Judicial Watch, a top government accountability campaigner. “And President Obama seems oblivious to the burden he is placing on Americans with his continuous vacations, getaways, and political junkets at taxpayer expense.”

The US Federal Aviation Administration has confirmed that there are temporary flight restrictions in Hawaii from December 19 to January 4. Full story...
