The political accountability watchdog group, Judicial Watch, had been trying since August, 2013 to get the U.S. Dept. of the Air Force to turn over documentation of the flight expenditures incurred that year for three vacation trips made by President Obama and his family. The documentation was turned over only after Judicial Watch filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit against the department. When the information finally arrived, the cost of these vacations was eye-popping:
Flight expenditures for the Obama 2012-2013 family Honolulu Christmas tallied up to a sum of $4,086, 355.20 for taxpayers.
Flight expenditure for Obama’s wining & dining trip to California in August, when he also appeared on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno came to a sumptuous total of $2,145,907.20.
The Obama family vacation to Martha’s Vineyard (again in August) cost us a kingly $1,164,268.80.

People who win vacations on TV quiz shows often have to refuse them because they do not have money to pay taxes on the dollar value of the trip. Is that not a factor in the presidential vacations?
