How much do these fund raisers cost us?

Do we even break even?

Flying around in AF One with helicopters and Cargo planes and Secret Service and special police working overtime.

Do we as a country spend more to get Obama to these fund raisers than the fund raiser actually takes in?

For example the trip to Miami cost us at least a couple of million dollars. How much did the fund raise collect.
Wouldn’t it be cheaper if Obama stayed in the White House and we just sent his fund raiser a check?

Theoretically, the campaign or democRat organization is supposed to pick up the tab for King Barry’s fundraising trips.

I’m not sure about this case, but frequently they somehow manage to schedule fundraisers to coincide with “official” business, such as a speech advocating some policy initiative, a conference, a memorial event, or the like.

The taxpayer pays for the trip because he’s just doing the “people’s business”. And since the king just “happens” to be in town, he can do the fundraiser on the taxpayer’s dime.

Sneaky corrupt bastards.
