Dolce vita! The Obamas arrive in Tuscany on a private plane escorted by six fighter jets and a 13-car motorcade for five days in a $15k-a-night private villa

Barack and Michelle Obama flew into a Tuscany militray base on Friday, escorted by six fighter jets

They were escorted in a 13-car motorcade to Borgo Finocchieto, a refurbished 14th century village

The five-building, six-acre space is owned by Obama's former ambassador to Italy, John Philips

It features 22 bedrooms, multiple saunas and Jacuzzis, a swimming pool, a gym and a basketball court

It's also surrounded by beautiful rolling hills that can be explored by car, helicopter or even hot air balloon

The Obamas, who have been on multiple vacations since leaving the White House, will reportedly visit Florence and Siena during their vacation

The Obamas arrived in Tuscany on a private plane escorted by six fighter jets and a 13-car motorcade on Friday as they continue their all-expenses-paid world tour.

Barack and Michelle Obama will have an entire 14th century village to themselves during their five-night stay - at an eye-watering cost of $15,000 per night.

Not that the couple are likely to have paid, as it's owned by the ex-president's former ambassador to Italy, John Philips.

You won’t see this on the evening news. Instead, they’ll talk about how much it costs when Trump goes to Mar A Lago.

The news blackout is deliberate and intentional.

It is his payback for support the corruption in Washington.

That’s one heck of a carbon footprint! This will surely enrage the climate change folks. Oh, wait. It’s Obama. Never mind.

Can you just rent fighter jets at Jets R Us? I get that the president is entitled to extra security for like ever, but is he really under that level of threat?

Six fighter jets?How does an ex-president rate that kind of protection?Or does Obama justly worry about his safety?And who’s paying for this?

Obama’s ego requires all this fanfare where ever he goes. I don’t think former presidents get that kind of security paid for by taxpayers. Someone needs to check into this nonesense. Obama acts like some 3rd world dictator, but in reality he has no power as an ex president. He loves himself more than other people love him.

Typical of the globalist elites who think ordinary people should eat insects and be “sustainable”

Look at this comment from Russia:

“Such a despicable couple! They disgraced America and are now on permanent vacation.”

Russians have more understanding and respect for America than probably half the country. Oh for the days when the news didn’t read like Mad Magazine.

Another lavish vacation without their children? Those poor girls really were nothing but props for the happy family lie. Now that they are no longer needed they are on their own.
Meanwhile the Obama’s treat themselves like the royalty they think they are.
Scum.

Who is paying for all of this? I don't know of any recent former President that travels like a Former King in Exile.

Obama does not have this kind of money, yet he is living like a Billionaire. Is Soros and his friends picking up the tab for all of this. Obama just got back from a month in Tahiti.
Look like all he wants to do is travel on someone else’s dime.

Yes, and in a foreign country too, and the democrats and their media are not the least bit curious about it.

Moochelle will probably add another 30 lbs and more inches to to that ever-widening behind.
