Obama taking his almost daily boondoggle (Vanity)
Posted on 04/29/2009 5:27:28 AM PDT by Sig Sauer P220
Obama is flying to St. Louis today for another "town hall" meeting. How much does it cost each time he takes a boondoggle? 747 Fuel costs, cargo transport fuel costs, limos, SUV's, his posse, etc?

Will AF One fly over the arch or under it? Air Force One (A) will fly over it. No telling what the back up plane will do or what the new protocol is... "Change We Can Believe In!"

If a quick spin around dowtown NYC costs $300K+, I would imagine this junket will run around $2-4M.
His silly junkets could end up costing the U.S. taxpayers over a billion by the end of the year.

Remember he is a community organizer. That’s what he does. Now, why he is POTUS, I don’t know.

Better to go flying around in that neat little plane than to have to sit in that awful boring Oval Office and deal with mundane things such as the swine flu and the outrage following that flyover in Manhattan. Besides, today is his mini-anniversary. He wants to see smiling faces, clapping, and feel the LOVE.
Hey, he WON. He can go campaigning and have fun if he wants to.
UGH.

Somebody tell this idiot that the campaign is OVER.
He won. So now’s the time to LEAD.

I read somewhere that it cost $68K/hr just to run the plane (basically the fuel cost).
Then there is the staff, support aircraft, his $100/lb steaks, ground vehicles, local police escorts, accommodations for all these people, etc.
A trip like this could easily cost a million plus.

So he is now ChOTUS—Cheerleader of the United States. He is on TV everyday—just a question of how many times per day...What in the world could he possibly have to say to people in person that could not be said in one of his many speeches? I hope some tax group is keeping a total of his gravel expenses.

The rest of the government has to buy office supplies in bulk so he can scrape together the cash to make these trips, eh?
