Taxpayers will be sending President Obama on his second vacation of the year when he departs Friday aboard Air Force One for a Presidents’ Day Weekend excursion to West Palm Beach, Florida.

Without apparent irony, Obama has decided to jet to a well-trod stomping ground of the rich just days after presenting himself to the nation in his State of the Union speech as the guardian of the middle class.

Obama presumably will head directly to some fabulous golf course, having not been able to play in recent weeks because of the cold weather in Washington.

While Obama may pay some hotel and other miscellaneous costs related to his vacation travel, taxpayers are on the hook for much of the expense, shelling out for the president’s travel aboard Air Force One, a cargo plane that carries supplies, and the cost of the president’s substantial staff and security retinue.

While unemployment stands at nearly eight percent, Obama is taking his second vacation of 2013. The year is only six weeks old.

Obama initially traveled to Hawaii in late December. He returned after a several days to work on a fiscal cliff deal, and then went back for several more days in early January after signing a bill. So this will also be the third time in less than two months that taxpayers have footed the bill for a round-trip Obama vacation.

It’s not clear if Michelle is going with him – the White House announcement of Obama’s plans doesn’t mention her. She usually goes skiing in the Rockies around this point in the year.

I like how you don't link to the original blog post on the following clearly objective and unbiased website.

Honestly, who the hell vacations that much? 17 days in Hawaii...only to go to Aspen a month later to hit up some slopes while her husband heads for West Palm (at the tax payers expense). Look, I realize tax payer money is going to go to some personal stuff, and I am fine with that. BUT, I am not fine with two extremely expensive vacations in two months. Hawaii, Aspen, and West Palm...every middle class American's fantasy.

Bush "vacationed" at his ranch which was already updated for secret service.

Bush was also the President, not the first lady. Kind of a bigger deal when he goes on vacation.

Michelle obama is the king of spending other peoples money. Im slightly surprised the presidential limo hasnt been outfitted with 20 inch rims.

Yeah cause the Dem's are taking this super serious

I got nine days of recess in Kindergarten.

Comparable groups of minds too.
