Michelle Obama, the U.S. Empire’s Queen, recently revealed that she and King Obama don’t give Christmas gifts to each other. Instead, they merely say, “We’re in Hawaii,” and that’s Christmas gift enough.

But, as White House Dossier reports, the present is actually from the taxpayers, and it’s an expensive one. “The total cost to taxpayers of Obama’s vacations to Hawaii since becoming president is likely in excess of $20 million, and possibly much, much more. During a time of budget deficits that threaten the nation’s security and its future, the Obamas have chosen to maintain a “family tradition” and vacation halfway around the world instead of finding far cheaper alternatives closer to home.”
