$weet dreams: Obama billed taxpayers $295,227 to fly home to 'sleep in his own bed'
Washington Examiner ^ | 18 Nov 2014 | Paul Bedard

Posted on 11/22/2014 8:34:25 AM PST by W.

In what a taxpayer watchdog group called an unusual abuse, President Obama’s decision over Labor Day to fly home from New York to sleep in his own bed instead of overnighting and then attending the New York wedding of his chef cost Americans $295,227.

It was just one expensive leg of a Labor Day work and fun trip with an overall price tag of $1,539,402.10 in flight expenses alone — not including security costs, food, housing or those associated with his staff.

Out of toot? Dropped his stash box in the toilet? Reggie break? Who knows, but we're payin' for it, just like everything else the SOB does to flip off the taxpayers and America.

I mentioned to my lib sister about all the vacations Obama has taken and what the total cost might be and she said, "Well, George Bush spent more time on his ranch than Obama has ever spent on playing golf and stuff."

So, is there a counter out there somewhere like that American debt thing that keeps ticking away?

We need a true accounting of just how much Obama is costing us for everything, outside of his presidential pay.

"We need a true accounting of just how much Obama is costing us for everything, outside of his presidential pay".

And how much it will cost us over how many decades to recover in both treasure and lives. He does want martyrs for his cause, and they will be coming out of the walls soon.

That’s why it would be good to have a running meter - I am sure it would run into the multi-trillions.

Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown of corruption and avarice.

I told her that gasoline was $1.87 when Obama first took office. She didn’t believe me so I googled it for her. But then she said that you can’t believe everything you read on the Internet.

GWB would be doing presidential-working vacations on his ranch. On his ranch, security needs would be minimal financially.

The Marxist spends taxpayer millions to get to and stay at fundraisers and campaign events. Time on the course is just golf with fellow marxist buddies.

Living off the largesse of the productive American taxpayers while crapping on them and exalting the illegals instead. One arrogant, despicable prick. My compost bin has a better and more meaningful legacy.

He had to get back to his stash of drugs!

Yesterday he got back off his helo just before it took off, saying he forgot his blackberry.

A reporter noted that there was a clear photo showing his blackberry in a belt holster.

He was running back to get his drugs!

If he were to wake up one morning with 50,000 patriots on his lawn, it would be money well spent.
