Obamas headed to Hawaii for 8th Christmas vacation: Here's how much it will cost you
Judicial Watch tracks costs related to presidential trips, including what it costs to operate Air Force One.
Three trips earlier this year – a Palm Springs golf trip in June, a trip to New York in July and a visit to Martha's Vineyard in August – cost the U.S. $3.1 million in travel expenses alone. It costs about $206,000 per hour to operate the president's private plane.
Last year's Obama family Christmas trip cost $3.7 million in flight expenses alone, with 17.8 hours in the air round-trip. Housing and security costs are on top of that amount but not all that information is released to the public.
Those expenses don't sit well with everyone.
So, starting Friday, traffic on the other side of Oahu will be gridlocked and the SS will be checking Claire and I out again! :)
