Does anyone find this disturbing? Pelosi in Hawaii; Obama in Hawaii. Is the “conferencing” of the Healthcare bill going on without the rest of Congress’ knowledge? Where is Harry Reid? Is Rahm there? This should send up a red flag or two; but will it?
Pelosi’s very private Hawaii vacation
By Thomas Lifson
December 29, 2009
In stark contrast to Sarah Palin, whose Hawaii vacation was photographed and touted in the press, Speaker Nancy Pelosi is enjoying a very private luxurious time at the Four Seasons Hualalai resort on the Big Island. Andrew Walden, editor of Hawaii Free Press, reports:
Guarded by U.S. Capitol Police bolstered by officers on loan from the Hawaii County PD, Pelosi is enjoying what Hollywood Reporter calls: “…a picture-perfect stretch of beach on the Big Island’s chic Kona Coast….a private Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course and Pahu’ia, an award-winning oceanfront restaurant, $40 million worth of enhancements…20 new suites and … its lauded Hualalai Spa.”
According to the Hualalai Spa website, Pelosi may, “Enjoy complimentary pre-treatment rituals, relaxing by a quiet stream in the open-air Waiea, or Water of Life, garden. Or savour the lap pool, whirlpools, saunas, steam rooms and cold plunges, all set amidst lush greenery. (Pelosi’s) choice of skin-care and massage treatments may be enjoyed outdoors in our exotic new hales, secluded for privacy…. With the guidance of (her) spa therapist, (Pelosi may) choose from more than 20 local natural ingredients – from Hawaiian sea salt to crushed macadamia nuts – which are custom-blended to create unique personalized treatments.”
It is not clear how Pelosi arrived on the Big Isle. Her controversial military transport is not immediately visible amidst the forest of private jets which now crowd Kona’s Keahole Airport South Tarmac. Hawaii County is hard hit by shrinking tax receipts caused by the Obama recession, but Hawaii County Police Department spokesperson Chris Loos states that the department was able to aid Pelosi’s security detail without canceling other scheduled enforcement activities. Loos did not provide an estimate of the expense incurred by the County PD.
Of course, Pelosi is a “progressive” who cares about the little guy, so no media figures think her luxury break is worth mentioning.
====================================
End notes:
1. It would be interesting to find out if Rahm Emanuel is one of the “family and friends” members that is sharing Hawaii with Obama.
2. This picture says a thousand words:
Nancy Pelosi and Rahm Emanuel
3. Take a island hopper helicopter and viola……
4. WHY didn’t Pelosi go to American Samoa with hubby? Husband has BIG connections to American Samoa. Or WHY didn’t Pelosi and hubby go to their vineyards? Bet the water to Pelosi’s vineyards wasn’t shut off for a feeder fish.
Elitism at its best. Will the taxpayer be on the “hook” for Pelosi’s Hawaiian vacation too? Transportation, Security, embodiments, housing, etc.
AMERICA! ARE YOU GETTING THE PICTURE YET?

Why are we letting them get by with taking a vacation on the tax payers money, they will be voted out of office as soon as possible. I haven’t had a vacation in 9 years, being retired, I cannot afford it much less having a jet at my disposal. Who do these people think they are?
The Ruling Class! Leeches by God.
