Covered at Reason 24/7: First Family’s Taken
Three Vacations So Far This Year
The White House was shut down for visitors, to save about
$70,000 a week, after the sequester went into effect. The sequester
isn’t austerity, and even if it was, the White House remains far
from austere.
In the first three months of the year, members of the
first family have been on three vacations, averaging a vacation a
month. And now it's being reported that the first daughters are on
a spring break vacation in the Bahamas.
The Obamas began the new year in Hawaii. "President Obama departed
Hawaii this morning for Washington, after spending NINE days
vacationing with family and friends in his native state. Here’s a
quick look at how he spent his vacation," ABC reported on
January 6, 2013.
President Romney would likely be getting skewered by the press
for this.
