There are over 100 people that regularly travel with the president on short trips. 500 went with him to the G20 in 2009. This is not an anomoly with Obama. That's just how it is.
Everyone understands this, and most people that critique Obama for his trips are only doing so as a response to the treatment of Bush for 8 years.
That being said, there is a price differential between going to the Bush ranch in Texas and going to Hawaii or Martha's Vineyard. Maybe that's inconsequential in the long run, but optics matter.
