While most Americans are lucky to get a few weeks of holiday
every year, it seems the country’s leader gets a little more
freedom in the matter.

President Barack Obama has announced his Christmas vacation to
Hawaii – for a staggering 17-day trip.

Obama, who visited the island just two weeks ago for an economic
summit, will head to Honolulu on Saturday December 17 until
Monday January 2.

The president, who was raised in Hawaii until he was six, will
be joined by his wife Michelle and their daughters, Malia, 13,
and Sasha, 10.

The White House travel office

The President's family covers the cost of a private beach front
residence in Kailua, Oahu, for their vacation - a ‘Winter White
House’ that costs up to $3,500 a day, or $75,000 a month.

But the local and federal taxpayers help pay the bill for travel
and security.

Last year the trip cost more than $1 million,according to the
Hawaii Reporter.

Obama announced the trip during a campaign fundraiser on Oahu's
Leeward Coast during his stay on the island last month.

‘It is great to be home, great to feel that Aloha spirit,’ he
said.

‘And Michelle and the girls will be back shortly for Christmas
vacation, as we do every year. *We'll see if Washington gets its
business done, so I can get here as well. But that's always a
challenge.’

It follows an 11-day stay in Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts,
earlier this year, which is also believed to have cost the U.S.
taxpayer millions.

Next week, the president will be saving a few cents by hosting a
meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper.

Obama will speak with Harper at the White House about economic
competitiveness, security and key global issues.

Harper has urged Obama to support an oil pipeline from western
Canada to the U.S. Gulf Coast.

But the Obama administration said last month it was delaying a
decision on the project until it can study new potential routes
that would avoid environmentally sensitive areas in the Midwest.
The decision is expected to be delayed until 2013.

That was probably after his morning run.
BHO starts his day at 9:00, unless he has an early tee time
