Barack and Michelle Obama Spent More Than $1Million of Taxpayer's Money On Separate Flights To LA - Despite Filming TV Appearances On The SAME DAY Just Miles Apart Barack Obama took Air Force One to appear on Jimmy Kimmel Live Cost for presidential jet along will have exceeded $1million Michelle Obama took separate plane to be on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Both shows were filmed in Burbank, California, on Thursday White House insists that their 'schedules were not in sync' Obamas flew separately before - for breaks in Hawaii and Martha's Vineyard By KIERAN CORCORAN 14 March 2015 The President and First Lady both filmed TV appearances in Burbank, California on Thursday - but billed taxpayers for two separate private flights to get there. Barack Obama took Air Force One to LAX, at a cost of more than $1million, so he could be on Jimmy Kimmel Live. But, rather than ride with him, Michelle Obama chartered a different, earlier plane for a slot on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, filmed in the same LA suburb as Kimmel's program.

I see absolutely no reason why the president can’t take a regularly scheduled commercial flight.

Baraq & Mooch are just too popular. Too many people on the plane would faint and have medical emergencies....

It’s quite a insight to their relationship, isn’t it.

Don’t recall when or where it was taken, but it has been on my computer for several years.

I am assuming that Michelle likes lots of Maine lobster on the plane. Maybe Zer0 has some kind of dietary fetish against it.

It’s the little things that build and build until you take another plane to avoid a marital explosion. Someone tell me if I am wrong.

This reminds me; is that mother in-law still living in the White House after over six years? How much room and board has she paid to the taxpayers?

Just the opposite I believe, isn’t Mom one of Mooch’s 18 paid “staffers”?

They can’t stand one another’s company. No surprise there.

LucyT,

Thanks for the background.... a couple years ...
Looks like the 0’s have a sham marriage, just like the clintoons.

It’s other people’s money so it doesn’t matter.

That’s BS. There are plenty pix of President George and Laura Bush flying on a plane together.

Google it.

Can anyone think of a good reason against congress passing a law significantly limiting the travel of first ladies?

She should get a certain salary and EVERYTHING that she does should be covered by that, staff, travel.

She can travel with the President.

A million for a television show. What a joke.

She goes to China, refused to take any press questions. Brings her mother and nieces and spend $10,000 a night on a signal hotel room.

She and Jill Biden have “teamed up” to support our nation’s service members, veterans, and their families from what I remember. Zer0 stopped in Phoenix to stop by the VA Hospital and she couldn’t rearrange her schedule to accompany him? I don’t know why but I did expect something more from her.
