I'm not sure if taxpayers cover the cost of presidential vacations, but if we do, it's an extremely valid point. Not specifically for Obama, but for all presidents.
The POTUS shouldn't be able to take his family anywhere they want on the taxpayer's dime. As a matter of fact, they should pay for their vacations out of their own pocket. Of course they would still need secret service protection...but we shouldn't be paying for the rest of it.
Wouldn't you agree?

When we see people like KDDP expressing their supposed concern for presidential vacation expenses for a President other than Obama, it will have some validity.

From what I've read, they do pay for the costs a normal person would have. Obviously, that's a fraction of the true cost, but there's no practical alternative.

I'm not an "attack Obama" guy which is why I made my comments directed at all presidents.
If that's true, then I'm ok with it.
