As it turns out, Vice President Joe Biden's London stay in February was not the most expensive part of his trip. A government document released on February 14, 2013 shows that the contract for the Hotel Intercontinental Paris Le Grand came in at $585,000.50....

The ambassador might not have had 136 rooms.
That’s right - 136 rooms.
Slow Joe has a big posse.
I say we sequester his ass. Just put him on ice somewhere and trot him out only if Dear Leader ever assumes room temperature.
His wife looks very high maintenance.
One vacation for Michelle costs more than keeping the White House open for tours for the whole two terms.
One vacation for Michelle...
There should be a budget on how many vacations the President’s family should take. They have far exeeded the reasonable amount.
Did they ever check out PriceLine or Orbitz before they booked?
I just checked rates you can get a room /breakfast for two adults and a child for $550/night
1000x more? wow
Hope they paid in fake money printed by the Fed.
My recommendation?
We save money by NEVER building another fancy over-the-top building in DC. Let these puffed up jerks work in the same kind of buildings the rest of us work in... they're not royals or even impressive. For whatever reason, we're not electing the Jeffersons, Washingtons or Lincolns of our culture anymore... And we don't need to house the crap we are electing in beautiful buildings.
Maybe we need law requiring that all public servants have 5% of their travel costs deducted from their pay.
They make the laws, so it won’t happen.
Biden needs no security. He is such a light weight even Al-Quida wouldn’t waste their time.
Wonder what that odd 50 cents was for?
He learned from the best. Barry & Mooch.
Congress should set a Per Diem travel for official travel, and anything over that amount would come out of their own pocket. Also, travel by family members should be at the official’s expense. A spouse & children are not elected to represent America.
Let’s get back to the basics... OFFICIAL TRIPS ONLY.
Wonder what that odd 50 cents was for?
THE TIP. Biden’s a Democrat.
lol!
That doesn’t even include the cost of flying him to Europe, providing ground transportation etc. Too bad the lame stream media doesn’t pick up on this hypocrisy.
Outstanding thought process & response.
Maybe, just maybe, this would then open the eyes and enrage the LoVo’s to say “hey . . . wait a minute, this isn’t right!”
The annual cost of keeping the White House open for tours is $3,700,000, or about $10,000 per day.
So for the cost of this moron's hotel bill in Paris alone we could keep the White House open to the People for nearly 2 months.
