There is NO comparison in cost, timing or overall ridiculousness of the trip.
If he wants to see the festival of lights, look on Youtube like the rest of us. The Obama's arrogant spending and lavish vacations/shopping sprees during this recession is only going to create more and more animosity against him.
2012 is a lost cause for him, and his party.
For those who like to compare vacations of President Bush and Obama, keep him mind, most of President Bush's vacations were back to his own ranch at no cost (other than required security) and he almost always made them working vacations with foreign leaders coming to meet with him there.
We pay for Camp David as a retreat for the President when he needs to get away from the WH. This President refuses to use it, but we're still paying for it, PLUS his excessive travel plans.
