What on earth does he need 4000 people to handle security and “assistants” for? I bet if we got a real list of who those 4000 people were, there would be a significant number who weren’t actually working, but were just along for the free ride.

This cost estimate seems only to include the cost of the hotels. It doesn’t mention airplanes, helicopters, armored limos, guard cars, or incidentals.

Or roast dog and lobster.

Are they using separate planes this year to transport the dogs and Malaria’s new car to Hawaii for Kwanzaafest ‘14?
