President Obamas trip to the 13-day Paris Climate Change Conference last fall cost taxpayers at least $4,165,068.40, according to information obtained by the government watchdog organization Judicial Watch.
Obamas Paris junket is another example of wasteful and unnecessary presidential travel that abuses the taxpayers, the military, and the U.S. Secret Service, said Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton. [ ]
Ironically, planes and cars carrying the representatives of 195 countries to the conference emitted 300,000 tons of carbon dioxide, by one estimate.

I don’t blame Obama in the least here. The Russians probably tricked him into going there. The Russians are behind every Dem embarrassment, dontcha know.
I called in to cspan after one of his junkets and said that he ought to teleconference or web chat with these various leaders to save money and set a good example. I was told in so many words that the dignity of his office precludes such penny pinching. Not much of that left now, though.
Not much of what, dignity or pennies? or both?
If he had to cover those expenses himself, that trip never would have happened.
They should require that all attending these conferences get there by zero emission vehicles.
TFFOTH does not give a damn, never has, and he does it to rub it in our face.
Just think of the size of the “carbon footprint” he must have laid down going through that many taxpayer dollars! Yikes! Yuge! Yuge!
What can one say anymore except Nov. eighth!!!!
Nothing’s too good for the Boy king.
And worth 40 cents and a bag of chips and all that.
What’s 4 million between friends....
One or both 747s and three or four C17s.
Economy is for the little people.
Superb! For the next 3 1/2 months, we all need to call in to Cspan in the morning show and get on air and state positive information about Trump. You might have to call for ten minutes straight to get through, but it is well worth it.
Back in 1999-2000, we (freepers) back in those years were always calling into Cspan. We constantly were able to get through because there were ten, fifteen of us calling at the same time. No Brainer!!
It's all about sticking it in whitey's eye.
Actually it didn’t cost $4,165,068.40, it cost $504,165,068.40 because right after he slipped the U.N. climate change fund $500,000.000 from his “stash” I.E. his slush fund.
