In the meantime White House tours are still shut down...
Barack Obama says “FUUSA!”
Maybe he’s shopping around for a retirement home.
What is the purpose of this visit? Does it have anything to do with US interests or is it just another BS vacation by these clowns?
The excursion will involve military cargo planes airlifting 56 support vehicles, including 14 limousines, and three trucks to carry bulletproof glass panels to cover the windows where the family is set to stay.

How many friends are they taking this time? There is absolutely no reason for this trip at all except a free vacation for the EBT family. We are already paying for this fool to go to the Summit, then we have to pay for this?
There has not been a day that he hasn’t pimped onto AF1 for some useless cause. This country has been without a president for 5 years.
Does Congress have no control over these expenses? I do realize that Boner is using his knee pads 24/7.
By the way, this doesn’t include all the new “aid” programs he will probably announce, throwing huge aunts of our money away into this bottomless pit that is Africa.
It will be worth every dime, if he stays there.
I see this as arrogance of power and ‘in your face’ theft.
The trip to Africa next week is on top of the Belfast trip this week in which FLOTUS and the daughters are tagging along as part of an entourage requiring 30 rooms at a 5 star hotel that charges $2,500/night, per room.
Obama to the masses, “Let ‘em eat cake!”
Basically a campaign trip, which is all he ever does. Gets him out of town so he has a better excuse not to answer any inconvenient questions, and re-affirms his street creds with his bros.
Plus he has a good time, and entertains some of his key donors.
Doesn't Africa have bullet proof glass? Don't they have three trucks?
Ban guns in Africa and there will be no need for the bullet proof glass panels.
He’s tired from all that fundraising.
Another exemption from Obama’s idea called “sekester”?
The problem isn’t that it’s expensive for the President to travel - It is, and I don’t have a problem with that.
My question is the timing of the trip. Why now? While we’re seeing more examples of government excesses on “trips,” and remember the sequestor? What about that?

Louis XVI was hunting at Versailles on July 14, 1789 and he and Marie Antoinette were oblivious to the Revolution starting back in Paris. Perhaps history will repeat itself.
Nothing to see here. Obama & Co. once again attempting to defend the indefensible.
Now everyone know what he means by spreading the wealth.
