How much do the tax payers pay on Obama's vacation and clothes?
The exact cost of President Obama's vacations and clothing during his time in office is not publicly disclosed. However, it is common for taxpayers to cover the expenses associated with presidential travel and security, including vacations. The cost of clothing is typically covered by the individual or through personal funds.
How much taxpayer money has Obama spent on vacations to date?
It is a partisan myth that presidents cost us outrageous sums of money when they are on vacation. Republicans like to accuse Democratic presidents of being wasteful, and Democrats like to accuse Republicans of the same. To be fair, even when presidents are on vacation, they are also on duty, ready to take an emergency call from a cabinet member or someone in the Pentagon or whoever else might need to talk to the Commander in Chief. It is also a myth that President Obama has taken more vacations than any other president. There are some presidents who spend more time on vacation than others: but President Obama so far has not spent an unusual amount of time on vacation. That said, whether we are discussing President Bush or President Obama, vacations can be expensive, since they require secret service, special use of Air Force One (with fuel charges, paying staff, etc), and whatever the cost of the rental of the vacation house, meals, etc. According to some estimates, President Obama's vacations have actually cost less than those of President Bush. But the fact remains: there is no easy or cheap way for any president to take some time off without incurring a number of expenses, and yes, these expenses do affect the taxpayers.

How much has Barack Obama and Family spent on vacation?
We do not know the exact amount, since it includes Secret Service protection, which must always be kept classified. But here is what we do know: contrary to some internet myths, Barack Obama has not spent more time on vacation than any other president, nor were his vacations more costly than other presidents. (Some past presidents have taken overseas vacations, which are extremely costly, whereas the Obama family generally goes to either Hawaii or Massachusetts.) That said, much of what you read about presidential vacations is political. The Obama family, like the Bush family and all others, is entitled to some time together, away from Washington. The Obamas are renting an expensive private home (estimated cost $35,000 for the family to stay a week); but it should be noted that other presidents have rented luxury hotel rooms, so the costs really all even out. Further, as in previous years, the Obamas are paying for the rental; the taxpayers pick up the tab for security and communication. Thus, there is no credible evidence that the Obama vacations are any more expensive than those of President Bush or President Clinton. And as we have seen, no president is ever really on vacation-- if a national emergency or some crisis occurs, presidents have to be in constant contact with their staff-- one of the biggest expenses for a presidential vacation is bringing along communications staff and setting up technology to make sure the president can talk to the American people at a moment's notice.
